Smokeless Tobacco

EDM number 90 in 2003-04, proposed by Paul Flynn on 26/11/2003.

That this House welcomes the confirmation from Government that smokeless tobacco is less dangerous than cigarettes and the remarkable reduction of cancer deaths in Sweden as a result of smokeless tobacco use; notes that smokeless tobacco is used as an aid by a third of Swedes who quit smoking; is persuaded by the Royal College of Physicians' view that smokeless tobacco can be up to 1,000 times less hazardous than smoking tobacco in addition to reducing the harmful effects of passive smoking; and believes that the UK ban on the use of Snus moist snuff should be removed so that its health advantages can be shared by inveterate British smokers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
