If smokeless tobacco keeps trending with teenagers, the guy who invents a stylish spittoon that attaches to a smartphone will make a fortune. They spent thousands on orthodontists so their son would have a blinding smile. Now his teeth look like they were dipped in henna.
They know smoking cigarettes is addictive. No smoking, no cancer! The truth is, smokeless tobacco is a significant cause of oral cancer, pancreatic cancer and esophageal cancer.
In California, where all trends begin, sales of chewing tobacco and other smokeless products have been climbing for the past 10 years. In , smokeless tobacco use among high school students in California grew to almost four per cent, up from 3.
But eight per cent of Canadians 15 years and older reported having tried smokeless tobacco products in Five per cent of youth, or about , teens aged 15 to 19 and 10 per cent of young adults about , aged 20 to 24, reported ever using smokeless tobacco. Part of the appeal of snus, a popular smokeless product, is that teenagers can use it undetected while sitting in the classroom. No spitting is required with snus, which typically are tucked under the upper lip near the gum line where little or no saliva is generated.
Nicotine is absorbed directly through the gum, or users can swallow the juice for a quick nicotine hit. Snus last about an hour — long enough to get students through a boring physics class. Dissolvable smokeless products such as orbs and strips are even sneakier. The orbs look like Tic Tacs, and the strips are similar in appearance to dissolvable breath-mint strips.

Implications: Our research provides evidence that SLT use has no benefits for cigarette smoking initiation, cessation, or reduction among young men in a central European country, where SLT is not highly promoted or receives tax incentives.
This is true for both legally sold nasal snuff and Swedish-type snus that cannot be legally sold. Results indicate that without incentives for using it, among young people shifts from smoking to SLT use are questionable and confirms the need for country-specific studies before the global public health community engages in promoting SLT.
