Outside the US, snus products bearing cigarette brand names have been promoted by British American Tobacco (BAT) as Lucky Strike snus in South Africa, Japan, and Sweden.[1516] BAT introduced snus in South Africa, where it was virtually unknown, under the cigarette brand names Lucky Strike and Peter Stuyvesant.[17] In 2006, BAT started selling snus in Norway, ran a limited consumer test in Japan, and launched cigarette branded Du Maurier snus in Canada in 2007.[15] In 2009, Phillip Morris International also entered into an agreement with Swedish Match AB to commercialize smoke-free tobacco products such as Swedish style snus worldwide outside of Scandinavia and the United States.[18] The use of snus as a harm-reduction product has been a topic of debate within the public health community.[10] Some argue that in Sweden, the rates of tobacco related mortality and morbidity were reduced as male users replaced cigarettes with snus.[19] However, the use of snus may deter smokers from smoking cessation, it may attract new users who would have not otherwise used tobacco, and it normalizes tobacco use and the tobacco industry.[20] Promoting smokeless tobacco products as line extensions of established cigarette brands may also encourage dual use of both products.[2122] Dual use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco is of unclear benefit to public health, and may actually increase the risk of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.[23] Dual use has been associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction compared to smoking and chewing tobacco alone.[24] In addition, a longitudinal study demonstrated that dual users were less likely to quit using tobacco.[23] The public health community and general public likely view smokeless tobacco products differently, in part because of different exposure to marketing messages, and different access to information about smokeless tobacco
