Dear colleague steemians,

If you ever think that smoking cigarettes isn’t healthy but snuff ("Sundu/"Sundi") is safe, think again🤔. Snuff is a tobacco product. Like cigarettes, it contains harmful and addictive chemicals that can raise your risk of many health problems.

To produce snuff, tobacco is dried and finely ground. There are two main types of snuff dried ("Sundu"/"Sundi") and moist ("Sora").
To use dried snuff ("Sundu"/"Sundi"), you inhale the ground tobacco into your nasal cavity. To use moist snuff ("Sora"), you put the tobacco between your lower lip or cheek and gum. The nicotine from the tobacco is absorbed through the lining of your nose or mouth.

Like cigarettes, pipe tobacco, and chewing tobacco, snuff is a DANGEROUS and ADDICTIVE product.

Snuff is not only highly addictive, but also harmful to your health. You might think that using snuff isn’t as dangerous as smoking because you’re not inhaling smoke into your lungs. However, snuff can still negatively impact your body. Like other forms of tobacco, snuff contains cancer-causing chemicals. It can raise your risk of several types of cancer, including nose and sinus cancers, oral cancers, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer.

Using snuff also raises your risk of other conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack, stroke. If you’re pregnant, it increases the chances of premature birth and stillbirth.

Using moist snuff can also yellow your teeth, sour your breath, and lead to tooth decay and gum infections. In some cases, you might lose teeth. You might even develop problems deep inside your jaw that result in bone loss. This can even disfigure your face.

Stay away from snuff and stay healthy and longer🙏.
