A new study from the United States reveals that the risk of cardiovascular disease among snus users is no higher compared to people who have never used tobacco.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habitual smokers run an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to non-smokers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But using smokeless\u00a0tobacco products like snus doesn’t result in any increased risk,\u00a0according to\u00a0a new study led by researchers at UCLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomarkers predict cardiovascular disease risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the results of the study, published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research, nicotine<\/a> is not the primary cause of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease found among tobacco users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, smokers have a heightened risk of developing such disease because of substances released in connection with tobacco combustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite having higher levels of nicotine, exclusive smokeless tobacco users had significantly lower concentrations of inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers than cigarette smokers,\u201d lead author Mary Rezk-Hanna from UCLA said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLevels of these biomarkers among smokeless tobacco users were similar to those of \u2018never\u2019 smokers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings are based on data from 4,347 adults who participated in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study<\/a>. Among this group, 338 used only smokeless tobacco, and 3,034 smoked cigarettes exclusively. In addition, 975 participants had never used tobacco in any form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results support case for tobacco harm reduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That cigarettes cause serious illness – such as cardiovascular disease – is nothing new. However, the UCLA study is the first to show that using smokeless tobacco doesn\u2019t result in any increase in cardiovascular disease-related biomarkers compared to never-smokers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLevels of these biomarkers among smokeless tobacco users were similar to those of \u2018never\u2019 smokers.\u201d<\/p>-UCLA researcher Mary Rezk-Hanna<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The findings suggest smokers who switch from cigarettes to smokeless tobacco products such as snus are likely to experience health benefits, specifically lower risk for developing cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study thus provides strong support for tobacco harm reduction. It shows that reduced-risk nicotine and tobacco products as alternatives to deadly cigarettes can lower health risks for users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this and other evidence demonstrating the health benefits of snus<\/a> and other non-combustible products compared to cigarettes, the WHO continues to ignore harm reduction<\/a> as a tool for fighting cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the authors acknowledge that smokeless tobacco is associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular disease, they stress that it\u2019s best to not use tobacco or nicotine products at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
