No, it's just a different form of intoxication. It's not health nuts that came up with it, tobacco companies did.
Btw to everyone here, I really really support the use of snus. You have my blessing to switch from cigarettes immediately. It doesn't pollute the air and it doesn't even smell that bad. Might be a little less harmful as well. You still get cancer though.

But maybe not all of you. :eyebrows:
