White snus can cause painful inflammations in the mouth that can take a long time to heal. This has been discovered in an ongoing research project at the University of Gothenburg, reports P3 News.

With traditional tobacco snus, it only takes a few weeks before you see a healing of the mucous membrane. When it comes to this white snus, we can see changes for several months, up to a year, or 1.5 years, after you have stopped using white snus, says Gita Gale, a doctoral dentist at the University of Gothenburg.

Every fourth person between 16 and 29 years old reports that they regularly use white snus, according to a new survey.
