Oh, it is far healthier to use snus or similar products than to smoke tobacco, for the people around you, weather or not that holds true for you as well, I have no idea.
It's healthier for you as well. Cigarette smoke is much more dangerous than the negative health effects you can get from snus (most notably gum damage and oral cancer). Nicotine itself is not harmless it's also not the main culprit in any of the damage it is related to - except that it's addictive, of course.
The link to the article I derived this from; can't make this shit up.
Does this mean i can use my HSA on Zyn? 🧐
Fuck it, try lmao
Hum... Don't you have to do that if you want to regulate the usage and require medical overseeing?
I'm not saying that's what he meant, but this observation alone tells nothing.
Absolutely incorrect, I have no idea where you heard that slop. The FDA regulates and schedules substances and products purely based on intended uses and product claims, it does not have to call it or label it something in order to begin regulating it, it’s the opposite, if a product appears and makes claims, it gets scrutinized and may become regulated or scheduled, and if uses and problematic cases appear that also can trigger regulation or scheduling.
Uhhh, nope. The FDA can and does regulate whatever the hell they want. Nobody is pretending that ice cream is a health product, but it's still regulated, isn't it?
