Smokeless Tobacco



Description:

Many teenage boys are using smokeless tobacco despite what parents or doctors tell them. Some patients with smoking-related illnesses view smokeless tobacco as a way of kicking the smoking habit. This factual program looks at the influence and history of this type of tobacco use and how it has survived through economic, medical, governmental, and societal responses. Interviews with users of smokeless tobacco products explain why they use them and how snuff, dip, or chew have become a part of their lives. Medical professionals look at the carcinogens in it and explain their addictive and sometimes fatal affects on the human body. Tobacco farmers and business owners explain what the product means to their livelihood and how tobacco isn't a crime. Whether it is mother nature, government regulation, or medical surveys, tobacco is still a fact of life.
