Smokeless tobacco as a risk factor for lower limb disorders

Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads

Hello

Does anyone know of any studies investigating smokeless tobacco (mainly snuff, which you use by putting it under your lip and let the agent absorb though the muccosa) as a risk factor for lower limb disorders. In Sweden this is a very common form of tobacco however very little research has been published in this field.

Hi Björn,

The website whyquit.com has an extensive library on all such matters,
I think that it only has one link to snuff, but am not certain.

This nineteen year old died from cancer from chewing tobacco

The page also provides a link to the 'latest smokeless tobacco news',

I searched for lower limb disorders and legs but nothing turned up on that.
