Subject: . Bio1ogica1 Effects of Smokeless Tobacco Products
In response to your request of March 29th, I have had
a search made on the biological effects of smokeless tobacco
which would include fine cut chewing tobacco, moist smuff
andl othier related products.
As you will see from the a-ttached paper, there are a
number of untoward bio~logical effects associated with these
materials. I believe the correlation between use of these
substances and oral', cancer i s qui te strong. You wi lil, hiowever,
note that there has been no experimental production of tumors
in animal model!s using snuff, but this may well be due to the
fact that inadequate testing has been done. It could also be
due to species specificity.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
