I was just on the nasal snuff sub-reddit and this guy claimed he knew someone who got tongue and throat cancer from the nasal drip from using snuff.

This worries me, though it is Reddit, where anyone can say anything whether it’s a lie or not just for attention…i mean, people can do the same here but i think all you fine folks are way more trustworthy.

Has anyone here heard anything about cancer caused by snuff?  The only case i ever heard of was the guy centuries ago who got ear cancer from pouring it into his ear for 40 some odd years…weird.  But anyway, someone tell me this can’t be true. I like to think snuff is super safe.

Highly doubtufull, read less and enjoy life whilst you can. Are you willing live to 100 years? My body is not temple, but amusement park. Simple as that. Jack

@captainblackboogers Ive never heard of it. Did you request his source or was it anecdotal. Can you link the post as Im active on r/nasalsnuff. I’ll do some digging on google and get back to you.

  Colloquial_Bloke said it. All anecdotal but still worried me.

   I’d be interested to see what you come up with in your research.

Will add more as I find it. Excerpt from linked article. “From 265 British patients treated over a 20-year-period for malignancy of the upper jaw none had ever used snuff, while none of the observed 63 snuff users had signs of malignancy” https://www.google.com/url?q=https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d906/ffedefff7171459ab56e0c72cea5ab261287.pdf&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwix4ruc2LjkAhWtT98KHfZdB0wQFjAHegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw3DXXn1XBiB9i\\_l\\_w6sNaPS

@rostanf

   thank you my friend, that article has greatly eased my worries, especially since i’m not into african snuffs.

Then I will count this as a good day. My pleasure. I’ll try and update with more tomorrow.
