Here's what you need to know
Many people considering quitting smoking wonder whether snus is a better alternative. The debate on the health effects of snus and cigarettes is ongoing. In this article, we look at the differences between snus and cigarettes and why some alternatives, such as Stingfree, may be a smarter choice for those who want to reduce risks but still keep the nicotine experience.
The difference between snus and cigarettes
Cigarettes:
Cigarettes contain thousands of chemicals, many of which are carcinogenic and toxic. When you smoke a cigarette, you inhale smoke that contains tar, carbon monoxide and other dangerous substances that damage the lungs, heart and blood vessels. Smoking leads to serious diseases such as lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
Snuff:
Snus, on the other hand, is a tobacco product that is not inhaled. Since the snus is not subjected to combustion, you avoid inhaling smoke and tar. Snus does not directly affect the lungs, making it an alternative that many consider less harmful than cigarettes. Both snus and cigarettes cause nicotine addiction, but scientists consider snus to be a less dangerous alternative than smoking.
How do snus and cigarettes affect health?
Cigarettes:
Smoking increases the risk of a range of serious diseases, including lung cancer, cardiovascular disease and COPD. Smoking also negatively affects general health by damaging blood vessels and affecting the respiratory system. In addition, smoking contributes to premature ageing of the skin and reduced lung capacity.
Snuff:
Snus mainly affects oral health. The most common effects are gum irritation, snuff lesions and discoloration of the teeth (tobacco snuff). Long-term use of snus can lead to gingivitis and exposed tooth necks. However, snus does not affect the lungs or cardiovascular system in the same way as cigarettes.
