Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this study was to compare HRQOL in snus-users and dual users (snus and smoking) with never tobacco users. Secondary aim included comparing HRQOL in smokers with non-smokers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Tobacco use is a major public health issue. The number of smokers decrease simultaneously as oral moist snuff (called "snus"), is promoted as a healthier alternative in spite its' negative health effects. Studies of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of those who use snuff are lacking. Recruitment of 674 women and 605 men aged 18 to 65 years through a Swedish population data-base was performed for this cross-sectional study in southwestern Sweden. Subjects completed a questionnaire about tobacco use and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used for statistical analysis.
