Two cheers for Reynolds, but watch out: the Snus was advertised with coupons offering a free tin of Snus if you "buy one other tobacco product"-- a sneaky way to get some more kids hooked on nicotine cigs at the last minute?

Pioneering smoking cessation researcher/expert Karl Fagerstrom founded Niconovum, and its smokefree products are more smoker friendly than most patches, gums, lozenges and inhalers now marketed in the US as smoking cessation aids. I suspect that Reynolds (if it buys Niconovum and/or its patents) will choose to (and will seek FDA approval to) market them as "modified risk" tobacco products instead of as "drug-devices" for smoking cessation. The key question is will the FDA choose public health over prohibitionism and approve them, or will the FDA cave in to the anti-tobacco/nicotine extremists who don't want any smokers to quit smoking by switching to far less hazardous smokefree tobacco/nicotine alternatives (unless they are expensive and marketed as smoking cessation aids). The FDA needs to reconcile its conflicting policies that define and regulate virtually identical smokefree tobacco/nicotine products as either addictive, deadly and evil tobacco or as life-saving smoking cessation medicine. But if the FDA's actions on very similar e-cigarettes are any indication, the agency will refuse to allow smokers access to Niconovum's NRT products.

New research has shown that any nicotine in the system promotes BV which is Bateria vaginotis, in women, If you look up BV it says to absolutely stop smoking and using any products that contain nicotine. One more good reason to elimanate tobacco and nicotine.
