As common as it may be, smoking remains, unquestionably, one of the most controverted habits. Nonsmokers, if not indifferent to those who smoke, usually try to talk smokers into quitting, arguing that smoking is damaging both to smokers and nonsmokers. This is the main approach. However, alternatives are at hand if we want to change something in our smoking behavior. Snus is one of these options, and the benefits of choosing it over common cigarettes or chewing tobacco are to be appreciated.



Despite the fact that this is not the most important consequence, first of all it is to be mentioned that using snus prevents the second-hand smoke. In addition, if we consider the ongoing regulations forbidding smoking in public places, we may notice that this tobacco-based product has the ability to ease our lives from a social point of view. Moreover, studies have proved that this product is less harmful than cigarettes or chewing tobacco with respect to our health as users, and the so called Swedish experience comes to reinforce this idea.

Camel Snus is a product manufactured in Sweden by British American Tobacco, under contract, and it is one of the most popular smokeless tobacco products. Also, while using it, one does not need to spit, as it is the case with chewing tobacco. The active ingredient of any efficient tobacco-based product is nicotine. If we need to ingest nicotine, relying on smoking is not the only solution, though it still remains one of the most common. Camel Snus focuses on the way to deliver nicotine removing at the same time the additional smoke - inhered by cigarettes - or spitting - characteristic to chewing tobacco.

It is obvious that choosing Camel Snus delivers us from some annoying consequences we would have to face otherwise. But the benefits of this product do not limit to the bothers we no longer have to put up with. It must be noted that snus in general presents some positive features. For instance, Camel only manufactures its product from pasteurized tobacco put into some teabag-like pouches that are to be plced between the upper lip and the cheek.

As users, we are given the opportunity to choose from a variety of flavors: original, spice and frost. One may complain about the fact that there are only three options, but if we consider that users in general are loyal to one type of product and hardly do they change their options, it seems that the offer is more than sufficient.

But the most appealing feature is discretion. Using a smokeless tobacco product is as easy and 'invisible' as using a chewing gum. We will be able to ingest the necessary nicotine without being noticed. Moreover, it is said that Camel Snus is risk-free if compared to smoking of chewing tobacco, famous for causing cancer or heart diseases and whatnot. Skeptics state that there is no such thing as risk-free, but if we were to compare the risks, we would reach to the conclusion that Camel Snus is, at the bottom of line, less harmful with respect to our health.
