Tobacco History Biography
Users also ran a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, which is a known factor of cardiovascular disease and they were also more likely to suffer a fatal stroke. Two major population studies were used for the research. The first comprised Swedish men between the ages of 45 and 70, living in the counties of Stockholm or Va"sternorrland between 1992 and 1994. A total of 1,432 men diagnosed with first-episode myocardial infarction were compared in terms of tobacco habits and other factors with a control group of men from the same regions without heart problems. The second was a study using data from health checks of all workers in the building industry between the years of 1978 and 1993. Information recorded at these checks included tobacco habits and blood pressure. Episodes of non-fatal and fatal myocardial infarction, strokes and blood pressure readings for over 100,000 snus users and non-users were followed until 2003/4.
Update - April 2010. Initial surveys published by individual states and other sources indicate that smokeless tobacco is the growth portion of the tobacco marketplace. Given the amount of money and effort that has gone into viral internet marketing of these products to our youth this comes as little surprise. In 2010, smoking remains at pre snus introduction levels in the US. It would seem clear that this is not gong to replace smoking, but co-exist along side of smoking in those that use tobacco.
