This article will offer three primary positions: First, it will support the use of a warning label on containers of smokeless tobacco and second, suggest that an alternative to the present warning statement be considered. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health--presently the first state to consider a warning label for smokeless tobacco--proposes a label that would read as follows: WARNING: Use of snuff is addictive and may cause mouth cancer and other mouth disorders. Third, this article will suggest that a warning label will not have any notable impact on the public health. In order to support these positions, the following discussion will briefly examine the relationship between chemical dependency, addictive behavior, tobacco smoking, and the use of warning labels as a deterrant to the use of smokeless tobacco.
第一，支持在无烟烟草容器上使用警示标签；第二，建议考虑采用替代现行警示声明的内容。马萨诸塞州公共卫生部——目前是首个考虑为无烟烟草设置警示标签的州——提议的标签内容如下：警告：使用鼻烟会上瘾，可能导致口腔癌及其他口腔疾病。第三，本文将指出警示标签对公众健康不会产生显著影响。为支持这些观点，以下讨论将简要审视化学成瘾、成瘾行为、吸烟与作为无烟烟草使用威慑手段的警示标签之间的关系。
