(Except, of course, Boffetta's questionable study.) <br /><br />Snus is known for it's high nicotine content. If it doesn't raise cancer risks IN HUMANS, it's extremely unlikely sources of lower levels of nicotine, such as e-cigarettes, would then inexpicably increase cancer risks.Kristin Noll-Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805939875041788133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419833097830199498.post-30685734493385861552011-08-09T22:41:02.730-07:002011-08-09T22:41:02.730-07:00I am typically to running a blog and I actually ap...I am typically to running a blog and I actually appreciate your information.

All are state and local level, and each law would need to be changed. Indoor smoking bans contain definitions of smoking and smoke that make it clear they are talking about products that are made of (not derived from) tobacco that are set on fire creating smoke. Vapor is not smoke. However, there are forces at work who do not want to encourage smokers to switch to safer alternatives. They are proposing new laws or amendments to existing laws that would specifically include vapor in smoking bans. There is not a shred of evidence that vapor presents any danger whatsoever to bystanders. The FDA made a big hullabaloo about what their tests found, but left out the fact that the quantities measured were harmless trace amounts. Also these trace chemicals were found only in the liquid, not in the vapor. The vapor has been tested repeatedly by labs around the world and nothing harmful has been detected.

This is in comparison to non-users. In comparison to smokers, switching to snus cuts the risk for pancreatic cancer in half. Boffetta's study has been criticized for inclusion of subjects from 40 years ago when snus had higher levels of carcinogens. No pancreatic cancer increase has ever been reported by any other researcher.Vocal EKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797128689808591929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419833097830199498.post-47005260186028674982011-04-13T14:06:57.439-07:002011-04-13T14:06:57.439-07:00How many human subjects were involved in this rese...How many human subjects were involved in this research? What is the relative risk for lung cancer, oral cancer, and other types of cancers for nicotine patch users? I haven't seen a study involving human subjects that show any increased cancer risk for smoke-free sources of nicotine. The only studies I have seen linking nicotine to cancer have been primary research at the cellular level. What happens at the cellular level may explain a possible biological mechanism, but it tells us nothing about a degree of disease risk applied to humans. Similarly, studies performed on rodents give us information, but not data on disease risk for humans. We do have decades of research on the cancer risks for using Swedish snus, which provides a lot more nicotine than the NRT products or e-cigarettes. In "Summary of the epidemiological evidence relating snus to health," researcher P.N. Lee found that after adjusting for smoking, snus users have no statistically significant increased risks for any type of cancer over non-users. Snus users have significantly lower risks than smokers for all types of cancers. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21163315Vocal EKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797128689808591929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419833097830199498.post-32058017725666610512011-03-29T08:00:19.881-07:002011-03-29T08:00:19.881-07:00A number of recent studies have strongly linked ni...A number of recent studies have strongly linked nicotine itself to various cancers. This means that in addition to the cancer risks posed by tar through smoking, nicotine itself increases your chances of developing cancer. It also means that even those on nicotine patches and gums are raising their likelihood of getting cancer. This link is thought to be caused by a property of nicotine which retards your body's ability to slough off damaged cells, giving cancerous cells more time to develop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419833097830199498.post-90494864038019930872011-03-29T07:54:52.417-07:002011-03-29T07:54:52.417-07:00The NRT in the U.S. must be better than here in th...The NRT in the U.S. must be better than here in the U.K.<br />The 'success' rate here for stopping smoking using NRT is 1.6% !!!<br />Wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
