Should We Encourage Smokers to Switching to Smokeless?
• Pro: Many smokers can’t or will not quit
• Con: Dilute the overall anti-tobacco message
![Page 5: Quitting Cigarettes Completely or Switching to Smokeless Tobacco: Do U.S. Data Replicate](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ff7550346895dab22ab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Key Swedish Results
• Male smoking prevalence < female’s
• Men have a high prevalence of snus use
• Many male smokers reported using snus to quit smoking
• Male lung cancer rate drops faster than expected

Reservations on Applicability of Swedish Results to Other Countries
• Country/Culture-specific • Effects on smoking uptake vs. cessation• Price • Unrelated to perception of reduced harm• No such thing as Swedish results• Mostly logical exercises, little data when it
comes to applications to other countries
![Page 7: Quitting Cigarettes Completely or Switching to Smokeless Tobacco: Do U.S. Data Replicate](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ff7550346895dab22ab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Need Data
• Data from countries other than Sweden• U.S. is the other western country with a long
history of smokeless tobacco use
• Longitudinal population-based data• Recall of ever use of smokeless tobacco has serious
problems here• TUS-CPS 2002-2003 longitudinal data set
![Page 8: Quitting Cigarettes Completely or Switching to Smokeless Tobacco: Do U.S. Data Replicate](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ff7550346895dab22ab/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our Task
• Focus on smoking cessation effects– One survey cannot solve all problems
• Summarize the relevant Swedish results
• Repeat the analysis
![Page 9: Quitting Cigarettes Completely or Switching to Smokeless Tobacco: Do U.S. Data Replicate](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ff7550346895dab22ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How to Test for a Snus Effect on Smoking Cessation in Sweden
• Men uses snus far more than women
• Need of nicotine is cause of relapse
• The test should be two-prolonged– Sex difference in smoking cessation
– No sex difference in tobacco cessation (cigarettes and snus)

TUS-CPS 2002-2003
• Define tobacco use status– Smoking only
– Smokeless only
– Both
– Neither
• Data reduction– Ignore cigars and pipe (after finding them unimportant)
– Remove inconsistency

Other Key Results (for Male)
• Switching is infrequent– 0.3% from cigarettes to smokeless
– 3.9% from smokeless to cigarettes
• Recent former smokers turn to smokeless– 1.7% turn to smokeless
– 24.4% relapse to cigarettes

Possible Explanations
• It was not promoted as safer products
• Price differential is not big enough
• Product difference
• Not enough of them using it
![Page 20: Quitting Cigarettes Completely or Switching to Smokeless Tobacco: Do U.S. Data Replicate](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813ff7550346895dab22ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conclusions• U.S. Data do not replicate the Swedish results• U.S. male smokers seem to quit smoking at a high rate,
without using smokeless• U.S. female smokers quit on the same level as males• Promoting smokeless tobacco as less harmful
alternative may not lead to an increase of population smoking cessation rate in places like the U.S.
• Price differential may have a greater effect in increasing switching to smokeless
