New study: Swedish snus pouch innovation reduces local irritation
In a breakthrough study published in Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, researchers reveal that innovative snus pouch designs can prevent mouth sores and irritation. This finding, involving Swedish dentists, highlights how minor changes in snus products can significantly reduce oral mucosa damage. Entrepreneur Bengt Wiberg's startup, Stingfree AB, developed technology to protect snus users' gums after he experienced irritation. The research counters misconceptions about snus, positioning it as a safer alternative to smoking. It refutes EU opposition based on oral health concerns, emphasizing that technical advancements can enhance the safety profile of nicotine products and promote a more balanced approach to risk assessment.
