Full description
Tobacco use is a major public health issue. The number of smokers decrease simultaneously as oral moist snuff (called "snus"), is promoted as a healthier alternative in spite its' negative health effects. Studies of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of those who use snuff are lacking. Recruitment of 674 women and 605 men aged 18 to 65 years through a Swedish population data-base was performed for this cross-sectional study in southwestern Sweden. Subjects completed a questionnaire about tobacco use and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used for statistical analysis.
