: I love smokless tobacco, but hate smoking. The
: Australian Government makes it very hard to
: use smokless tobacco due to imported items
: getting caught up in customs and users being
: taxed and in effect paying twice for the
: item. Delays in Customs are also lengthy. I
: would be happy to participate in a survey in
: relation to the use of smokless tobacco.

: --Previous Message--
: In Australia, the sale of oral snuff and
: chewing tobacco was banned nationally in
: 1991 due to concern about the possible
: health effects of these products
: (particularly the risk of mouth cancer).
: Smokeless tobacco users are allowed to
: import the product in small quantities for
: personal use.
:
: It has been argued that allowing some forms
: of smokeless tobacco to be sold in Australia
: may be good for public health if smokers
: switched from cigarettes to smokeless
: tobacco. Other people argue that most
: Australian smokers would not want to use
: smokeless tobacco. However, very little is
: known about who would be interested in
: buying these products if the current ban was
: relaxed.
:
: Researchers at the School of Population
: Health at the University of Queensland are
: currently looking for people living in
: Australia who have used smokeless tobacco to
: participate in a short survey to better
: understand who may be interested in using
: these products if they were allowed to be
: sold here. The survey can be completed over
: the phone or by an anonymous written
: questionnaire. If you are interested in
