coming from a big supporter of smoking, downplaying the addictive nature of nicotine is insidious of you; most people have no idea what sort of a demon it can become. its also insidious of you to state that pouches 'get rid of the cancer risk' considering that any nicotine product very much does have a cancer risk.

> considering that any nicotine product very much does have a cancer risk.

Source? The carcinogens are from other parts of tobacco than nicotine. Pouches are newer, but nicotine gum and patches have been studied for years.

I admit error and must have conflated cancer from tobacco pouches with cancer from nicotine pouches
