This, uh, exhibit was off to the side of the Hispanic Festival a few weeks ago. Snus is a variation on chewing tobacco and snuff originating in Sweden (and here I thought they were all so healthy). It is illegal in the European Union with the exception of Norway and Sweden but its popularity seems to be growing in the US. It looks like R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (one of whose web sites is - get this! - www.tobaccopleasure.com), the purveyor of Camel cigarettes, is at war with the American Dental Association. I didn't go inside this place. The outside was scary enough.
Moral question of the day: if you had been unemployed for a long time (which, in this country, may mean that you have no health insurance), your kids were sick and your house was on the edge of foreclosure, and the only job offer you could get was from the marketing department of a tobacco company, would you take it?
