Chewers and Dippers: Get the Facts on Smokeless from CASAA

Smokeless tobacco users in the U.S. are constantly under attack for their “bad habit”.  Public health officials and organizations deliberately misinform consumers about smokeless health risks, generating undue pressure to quit from friends and families.

The truth about smokeless has been hard to come by. Chewers and dippers can watch my informative video interview with Mudjug’s Darcy Compton (here), or they can read or listen to my book, For Smokers Only, How Smokeless Tobacco Can Save Your Life. 

Now, there’s another option: a downloadable pamphlet from Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA) titled, “Smokeless Tobacco: Separating Fact from Myth” (available here).  Save it as a pdf and print copies to share.

CASAA is a non-profit organization “dedicated to ensuring the availability of reduced harm alternatives to smoking and to providing smokers and non-smokers alike with honest information about those alternatives so that they can make informed choices… We believe that consumers are best served by ensuring diversity in the marketplace and by being provided with truthful and accurate information so that they can make informed decisions regarding their health and lifestyle choices.”

CASAA’s 200,000 members are active in tobacco legislation, litigation and regulation.  The group maintains an archive of thousands of testimonials from former smokers who found safer cigarette substitutes (here).  Everyone who cares about smokers, smokeless users and truthful information should become a member here.
