Smokeless tobacco debate heats up

A couple of UAB researchers have been going around saying that smokeless tobacco is a good alternative to cigarettes for tobacco addicts. They are shocked to find other doctors and scientists think maybe, just maybe, younger people might think that this indicates smokeless tobacco is okay. Or that some people think that UAB getting money from the maker of Skoal and Copenhagen might have clouded their judgment just a little. Can we just agree that it's really gross and leave it at that?
