question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what evidence that they have, if any, which identifies the health risks posed to smokers who switch to snus products.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL3287
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2021 answer text <p>Consumption of any tobacco product is harmful and it is the Government’s policy to support people to quit all forms of tobacco use. Oral tobacco, or snus, is banned in the United Kingdom under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016.</p><p>There is limited data on the health risks posed to smokers who switch to snus products. Evidence submitted on snus to the United States Food and Drug Administration states that there are still health risks involved with the use of snus. Although snus products contain significantly lower levels of harmful carcinogens than other smokeless tobacco products, the products contain nitrosamines, including NNN and NNK, which have been demonstrated to cause cancer, including cancers of the mouth. A copy of this evidence, <em>Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) ApplicationTechnical Project Lead (TPL) Review</em>, is attached.</p><p><em>Health risks of Scandinavian snus consumption (English summary)</em> from Norway shows that tobacco products such as oral tobacco contains carcinogenic substances which are associated with a number of adverse health effects. This is regardless of whether the individual is a smoker or not. A copy of this summary is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall attachment 1 file name health-risks-of-scandinavian-snus-consumption-english-summary-pdf.pdf title Health risks of Scandinavian snus consumption 2 file name SMUSA-TPL-Review.pdf title Modified Risk Tobacco Product Application (MRTPA) question first answered 15/11/2021 11:48:11 question first ministerially corrected 16/12/2021 12:18:50 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall previous answer version 31943 answering member printed Lord Kamall attachment 1 file name health-risks-of-scandinavian-snus-consumption-english-summary-pdf.pdf title Health risks of Scandinavian snus consumption 2 file name Modified-Risk-Tobacco-Product-Application-Technical-Project-Lead-Review-Swedish-Match-North-America.pdf title Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) ApplicationTe answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
