Smokeless tobacco comes in many forms like chewing tobacco, snus or as moist snuff which is placed and held between the lower lip and gingiva and both these forms cause excess salivation which has to be spit out frequently.. Other forms of smokeless tobacco consist of dissolvable fine milled tobacco, combined with candy flavors and look like pellets and these are also held between the gum and lower lip, some of them are available as films and are placed on the tongue where they dissolve. Risk taking behaviors often are established early in life particularly during adolescence. Adolescents have reported being curious about new smokeless tobacco products. A study of snus sales indicated that under aged buyers were successful in their purchase attempts more easily than that of successful purchase of cigarettes. Although advertisements for tobacco products are required by law to include warnings in boldfaced type stating that all forms of tobacco can cause oral cancer, the message is diluted by means of glamorous advertisements, price discounts, flavorings, convenient packaging and promotional allowances have been effective in generating sales.
