IntroductionThe use of snuff has become widespread in recent years, particularly among adolescent and young adult males. Snuff was first introduced to Europe in the 17th century and was inhaled through the nostrils in a dry form, but nowadays most snuff is moist and taken orally (Asplund, 2002). Snuff use is a problem that is of great concern to many researchers. A handful of studies have been conducted in this area to discover the factors that may contribute to such a phenomenon as well as to identify its impact on the health of the body. Snuff users are at risk of many diseases such as heart disease, blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease (Asplund, K, 2001; & Wickholm, Galanti, Soder, & Gilljam, 2003). On the other hand, many researchers have studied the difference between the effects of snuff and cigarettes on the health of the body. This literature review aims to shed light on the effects of snuff consumption on the body's health. It is divided into two sections, the first dealing with the effects of smoking snuff and the second with the difference between the effects of cigarettes and snuff on the health of the body (Wickholm, Galanti, Soder and Gilljam, 2003). ).Statistics have shown that the problem of snuff use is growing and more and more people are starting to use snuff every day around the world. Snuff is defined as a material in a dry form and inhaled through the nostrils (Asplund, 2002). There are two types of snuff: moist and dry (Magnuson, Eriksson, & Hardell, 1998). The first type is wet or humid. It is used by placing a pinch between the cheek or lower lip and the gum. It stays there while the nicotine is slowly released and absorbed through the middle of the paper binding...eventually addicted to it. Asplund, K (2001) mentioned that nicotine addiction causes physical withdrawal symptoms to appear in the user's body when they try to quit. Day after day, the body of snuff users develops a tolerance to nicotine, which leads them to consume more nicotine to obtain the same effect as when they first started using it (Asplund, K. 2001). Additionally, snuff contains nicotine, a drug that is addictive and increases heart rate and blood pressure (Asplund, 2002). Additionally, Rolandsson, Hellqvist, Lindqvist, and Hugoson (2005) mentioned that the difference between snuff and cigarettes is the nicotine content. Snuff contains about 3.5 milligrams of nicotine, while a cigarette contains about 4.5 milligrams of nicotine. Additionally, the nicotine contained in cigarettes is easily absorbed through the oral mucosa (Asplund, K. 2001).
