Talk:Gutka

"Use by pregnant women increases the risk of low birth rates in newborns."
I really think this should read "Use by pregnant women increases the risk of low birth weights in newborns." but I cannot see the reference.

ban, really?
i'm in Delhi right now (december 2016) and guthka is literally everywhere, sold on every corner, spat on every sidewalk. if it's banned nobody knows or enforces that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.30.38.222 (talk) 17:56, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

snuff vs. American chewing tobacco
Just edited the page to change references to snuff to American chewing tobacco. Unlike snuff, this is chewed, not snorted. I also wanted to minimize confusing this product with Swedish snus, which studies are showing may have significantly lower health risks than other tobaccos, and appears to have rates of cancer very close to rates seen among the non-tobacco using populations. --NightMonkey 21:41, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC)

Just got a bag of RMD
Being a long time Skoal, Cope, Red Man, and nasel (nose) snuff user I am just after buying a few bags of RMD for about $1.50 CDN (Canadian) each. I would say that the quote "It imparts upon its user a "buzz" somewhat more intense than that of tobacco." is an understatement. Just my two cents.142.161.162.197 (talk) 09:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)Some.Canadian.IP.Address


 * It's been several years, and I got a box of 50 from eBay for a fraction of the price. Nice! 206.45.160.228 (talk) 19:14, 16 November 2009 (UTC)Some.Canadian.IP.Address

Adding Citations
I'm going to take a stab at adding some citations here. Fingers crossed. 2019RiSK (talk) 17:22, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Nicotine is not carcinogenic
Text prior to footnote 11 states "28 carcinogenic chemicals including nicotine." This implies that nicotine is carcinogenic when it is not. 2A02:C7C:2D00:4400:B033:2588:742:A2BC (talk) 22:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
