E-cigarettes and snus are especially popular among boys and are also seen as a harmless alternative to cigarettes. According to a Tyrolean study with international participation, the consequences of consumption are more serious than previously thought.
Nowadays every child knows: cigarettes are harmful. It is estimated that tobacco consumption causes more than 7.6 million deaths worldwide every year. In search of alternatives to the classic Chick, people are increasingly switching to e-cigarettes. According to studies, the increase is especially pronounced among 18- to 24-year-olds and among current and former smokers who want to limit their tobacco use.
Snus, which is widespread in Scandinavia, is also becoming increasingly popular in Austria. The small tobacco pouches in particular are very popular among boys. They are placed behind the upper or lower lip, where the nicotine enters the bloodstream through the oral mucosa. The hype surrounding e-cigarettes and snus also worries the experts at Addiction Assistance Tirol.
