When I was in middle school we had an epidemic of snuff use. Every other pair of jeans would have that characteristic circle in the pants pocket where the snuff container was kept.

And then we had an epidemic of mouth cancer.

The link between snuff and cancer has been disproven.

I thought the age limits were there to protect you. How could this have happened.

Snuff and Snus are very different in how they are cured. Sweden and Finland, where snuff use is very high, don't show "an epidemic of mouth cancer". If true (and I am highly suspicious, given the meta-data on the linkage between snuff and mouth cancer, which would imply that "an epidemic of mouth cancer", especially at a young age), then you are merely confirming that the problem doesn't lie in the tobacco, and certainly not in the nicotine, but rather the curing process.

You are lying. There has never been a recorded 'epidemic of mouth cancer' in any school. Next, snuff (snorted) and dip are completely different things. The circle that you saw was dip and that would lead to mouth cancer... in 20 or 30 or 40 years. Not in highschool or even directly after.
