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.

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

And then we had an epidemic of mouth cancer.

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.

I don't think there were age limits on snuff back then. Of course prior to our age group, I think snuff was seen as an old lady vice. Not something teenage boys would be interested in. But our class had an abundance of stupid.

There were age limits on alcohol.

But we had a couple of idiots in middle school who would go buy Dr. Tishenor's mouthwash because it was 200 proof. And they'd get drunk off of mouthwash.

Limits can sometimes help prevent stupid. But really stupid finds a way.
