Use of Scandinavian Moist Smokeless Tobacco (Snus) and the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation.
(2014) In Epidemiology 25(6). p.872-876- Abstract
- Snus is a smokeless tobacco product, widely used among Swedish men and increasingly so elsewhere. There is debate as to whether snus is an acceptable "harm-reduction" tobacco product. Since snus use delivers a dose of nicotine equivalent to cigarettes, and has been implicated in cardiac arrhythmia because of associations with sudden cardiovascular death, a relation with atrial fibrillation is plausible and important to investigate.
