People who use snus run twice the risk of developing alcohol dependency compared with non-users, and the more one uses snus, the higher the risk, a study shows. "A doubled risk of alcohol dependency can be a seemingly quite moderate risk increase seen from the individual perspective, but if using snus is common in a population, it means that the overall use of snus might have an impact on public health," an author explains.
