The product liability suit charges . the manufacturer with selling a "defective and unreasonably danger ous" product. On Feb. 7, the Senate approved and sent to the White House a bill that would require health warnings on chewing tobacco and snuff. This bill, if approved by President Rea gan, would also ban radio or tele vision advertisements for these products. It is a legislation package similar to the one passed almost 20 years ago for the cigarette industry. Michael J. Kerrigan, president of the Smokeless Tobacco Council, said his organization would back any legislation that would require pur chasers of snuff to be at least 1 8 years old. "All forms of tobacco are adult products," Kerrigan said in a recent interview with Newsweek magazine. An estimated 22 million Ameri cans use snuff, with the greatest popularity being males under 25 years old. -. A government panel assigned to study the health risks associated with snuff released one of the strongest warnings to date against smokeless tobacco. The panel members felt that the use of the products greatly increased the risk of mouth and throat cancer. "The human data provide convinc ing evidence for an increased risk of oral cancer as a result of smokeless tobacco use," said a statement LIGHT & LUSCIOUS SEAFOOD & CRAB ffl Am ! hh ;A m i mm, Succulent seafood and crab makes a luscious summer treat.

Researcher Elbert Glover of East Carolina University said users needed to realize that smokeless tobacco could be more addictive than cigarettes. "The nicotine level in blood is higher in smokeless tobacco users than in smokers," Glover's study said. Dr. Robert O. Greer, professor and chairman of the oral pathology and oncology department at the University of Colorado School of Denistry, conducted a study that revealed that 62.5 percent of those snuff users he studied had oral lesions of one form or another. His subjects were 14 to 19 years old and had been using snuff for an average of 3.3 years. He concluded that the dura tion of use was one of the most important factors in the development of oral lesions. Brian Mixon, a UNC junior from Charlotte, said he was prompted to start using snuff at age 13 because his friends were using it. "I'm somewhat concerned about the possibility of getting oral cancer," Mixon said.But not enough to give it up." He said he went through about two cans of Skoal of month and has had no adverse effects from six years of tobacco use. A 22-year-old UNC senior from Charlotte "who did not want to be identified said he got hooked on snuff through teammates from high school athletics. He said he went through almost six cans of Skoal and Copen hagen a month. "1 started when I was about 14, 1 guess," he said. "Some of the older guys that 1 looked up to at my school dipped Skoal and I started doing it to become part of the gang." -. Admittedly addicted to Skoal, he said he could not draw a comparison to drug addiction. "From what IVe heard about drug addiction, there's a tremendous craving for whatever you're into," he said. "1 donl feel any craving. I just find myself reaching for the can almost unconsciously. IVe never tried to give it up, but 1 imagine it wouldn't be easy after eight years of dipping." As for the effects, he said he had to have to an oral graft done to replace part of gum that receded when he was 19. "It's really no big deal," he said. "I just have to put the Skoal in my upper lip instead of my lower lip these days." As for the risk of contracting cancer, he said there are so many ways to get cancer that he might as well get it from something he enjoyed doing. "There's no conclusive evidence that says someone is going to get cancer if they use snuff or chewing tobacco," he said. "All the experts agree that a possibility of increased cancer risk exists, but you can say that any number of things can cause cancer. "There's a possibility 1 might die in my sleep, but that doesn't mean I'm going to force myself to stay awake to avoid that possible end." Mark Allard, a UNC senior from Rogers, Ark., said he was more concerned about contracting oral cancer now than he was a few years ago. "Last year I had some problems with sore spots on the inside of my lip," he said. "I went to Student Health Services and they told me I needed to give up Skoal for a while. "They gave me a washing solution that 1 used twice a day, and after a week, the spots had disappeared. 1 started dipping again right after that, but I'm definitely more aware of the effects of smokeless tobacco." c J V i XS Hi JV It' 5. . iff V I It: ir vs i it si if ii
