In UK only one case of cancer caused by snuff has been reported. In this case there was a man who got cancer in his ear. In over forty years he had been using snuff wrong. He put it is in his ear instead of sniffing it through the nose. Just like snus, moist snuff and most smokeless products nasal snuff is so much healthier than smoking. It is true that changing from Smoking to using nasal snuff can have big health benefits. When using snuff there is no risk for lungcancer or chronic bronchitis. In britain 90% of the deaths from bronchitis and lungcancer are caused by smoking. So if using snuff means you can quit smoking this reduces the risk for your health hugely.
