From the Washington Times:

“This is big government intervention for a small-risk lifestyle choice,” said Brad Rodu, a professor of medicine at the University of Louisville.

Mr. Rodu, who has been studying the effects of smokeless tobacco and smoking for over 20 years, said that there is substantial scientific evidence demonstrating that the risks of using smokeless tobacco are so small they can’t even be measured.
