This isn't a chemical that is added to any tobacco product,this is a naturally occuring substance.
8:04 Our comment http://casaa.org/news/casaa-submits-comment-on-fdas-smokeless-tobacco-standards-rule/
8:32 This rule was rushed at the very end of the Obama administrations tenure.
9:30 A point made by Brian Fotik from the Reason Foundation which should not be overlooked in this mess is that within hours of the rule being published there were comments from the AAP,ACSCAN,AHA,ALA,CFTFK and Truth Initiative.
12:47 What the public thinks it knows about smokeless tobacco is not the entire truth of the subject at all.
What we know is based on data that is not exclusive to smokeless moist snuff.
16:14 The same misinformation campagin used against smokeless tobacco is the one being used against vaping as well.
17:30 With a very heavy asist from Atakan Befrits board member http://INNCO.org and NNA Sweden,CASAA submitted a letter in support of the Swedish government to update evidence about the benefits of Swedish Snus.
To add to this the NNN has been added to a court case in the European Court of Justice https://nnalliance.org/blog/165-update-on-the-challenge-to-the-ban-on-snus-next-step-the-european-court-of-justice challenging the snus ban in Europe.
22:16 A brief history of smokeless tobacco's ban in Europe appears in this book https://www.amazon.com/Art-Suppression-Pleasure-Panic-Prohibition/dp/0956226531
