I think it's insensitive and stupid. Doesn't matter how you put it in your body, it's still bad for you. Eventually SNUS will rot out the inside of your mouth.
So take your pick, smoke cigarettes and get lung cancer, use SNUS and get mouth cancer.
Same crap, different pile. people are guilible if they think SNUS will make it better.

About twenty 20 years ago, a US Company marketed a pouch. It contained tobacco and was supposed to help people to pack in smoking. The instructions were for the pouch to be placed in the mouth, under the gum and the smoker will not need a cigarette. The drug company (I believe it was a US drug company that developed it) survived but many people didn't. It took less than two years for it to be banned both in the UK and the rest of the EU. The tobacco pouch did prevent some people from dying of lung disease, it killed them quicker by causing cancer of the mouth which spread rapidly. For me, I'll take the risk of dying slowly of lung disease, at least I will get at least another 20 years of life. As for that "new tobacco", it probably contains "skunk weed". The idea is for the passive smokers to get so high that they stop complaining about smokers LOL

Well, if they want to damage themselves, I don't care. I just hate smokers because they blow it around everywhere and second hand smoke and stuff. Yeah this is fine if other people can't smell it.

I think Big Tobacco is getting desperate.

If it causes an addiction, it's good.
