Where can you buy smokeless tobacco in Poznan Poland?
Poland is in the European Union, as such it is illegal to sell any smokeless tobacco products in the EU, the only exceptions being the Nordic countries of the EU (chiefly Sweden) as smokeless tobacco use in Scandinavia is as culturally relevant there as smoking tobacco and is often used to help with smoking cessation there. So the short answer is you can't buy it anywhere in Poland. The long answer however, is that it is possible to have it shipped from Sweden or from the United States or Canada (the only 1st world nations to actually allow the sale of smokeless tobacco domestically) through mail order via the Internet.

Like cigarettes, smokeless tobacco also contains nicotine, which can cause you to become addicted.AddictionBecause smokeless tobacco contains nicotine, you can get addicted, just as you can with cigarettes and other tobacco products. Your body may actually absorb more nicotine from chewing tobacco or snuff than it does from a cigarette. Just as with smoking, withdrawal from smokeless tobacco causes signs and symptoms such as intense cravings, increased appetite, irritability and depressed mood. Also, over time, you develop a tolerance for the nicotine in chewing tobacco and other smokeless tobacco products, and you need more to feel the desired effects. This may lead you to dangerous habits - using brands with more nicotine, using more often, leaving chew in your mouth overnight and swallowing tobacco juices.CancerYour risk of certain types of cancer increases if you use chewing tobacco or other types of smokeless tobacco. This includes esophageal cancer and various types of oral cancer, including cancers of your mouth, throat, cheek, gums, lips and tongue.

Over time you can develop gum disease (gingivitis), which can lead to periodontitis and tooth loss. And like cigarettes, chewing tobacco and other smokeless products can stain your teeth and cause bad breath.Heart diseaseSmokeless tobacco increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Some evidence suggests that long-term use of smokeless tobacco increases your risk of dying of certain types of heart disease and stroke.Precancerous mouth lesionsSmokeless tobacco increases your risk of developing small white patches called leukoplakia (loo-ko-PLAY-kee-uh) inside your mouth where the chew is most often placed. These mouth lesions are precancerous - meaning that the lesions could one day become cancer. If you stop using smokeless tobacco products, the lesions usually go away within a few months.
