Low nicotine products such as Happy Days and Skoal Bandits are designed as

"starter" products. It is expected that as a user becomes more addicted, he will move

up to Skoal and finally to Copenhagen.

U.S. Tobacco's "starter" product Skoal Bandits delivers only 7% of its available

nicotine; Copenhagen delivers 79%.

Holding an average-size dip or chew in the mouth for half an hour delivers as much

nicotine as smoking four cigarettes. A two-can-a-week snuff dipper gets as much

nicotine as a pack and a half a day smoker. Each tin of snuff contains a lethal dose of

nicotine.

Beat the Smokeless Habit, p. 7

A pinch of snuff has 2 to 3 times the nicotine dose of a cigarette. UST's Copenhagen

and Pinkerton's Red Man moist snuff have the highest levels of available nicotine. A

user who consumes 8 to 10 dips or chews a day receives a nicotine dose equal to

that taken by a smoker of 30 to 40 cigarettes daily.
