_ Did-You Know That.....The
use of smokeless tobacco by
' teenagers is rising? Between
4976 and 1982 snuff use increas-
‘ed from 4 per cent to 33 per cent
for youths age 13, and chewing
tobacco use increased from 14
per cent to 21 per cent for
youths age 16. Record numbers
of teenage boys in particular are
. Starting to use snuff. Promotion
’ ‘of smokeless tobacco products
by. athletes and teen peers are
two factors that have encourag-
cd the boys to start using the
‘substances. In comparison to
smoking, snuff is less expensive
and. is an easier habit to conceal

factors that may cause the rise

«Snuff. — Often snuff is
-sweetened, flavoured, salted, or
‘scented. Snuff is ‘‘dipped” by
‘placing’ a pinch between the
gum line and lower lip.
Is chewing tobacco and snuff a
safe alternative to smoking?
The answer is definitely no! The

co discolors the teeth and causes
bad breath. It hastens tooth

gum area whére the tobacco is
placed commonly recedes. As
