[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36738817/ Sudanese smokeless tobacco (Toombak) users harbour significantly altered long-term cortisol body production.] | |||
* The effect on body cortisol response over a retrospective period in users of this product has not been previously explored. In addition, the psycho-dependency level distributed amongst users of Toombak has also not been analysed to date. | |||
* FTND - ST scores ranged from 4-9, with 85% of Toombak users reflecting high levels of psycho-dependency (score>5) and nicotine tolerance. | |||
* Cortisol body release in Sudanese smokeless tobacco users was found to be significantly altered. While low cortisol levels do lead to anxiolytic effects, long-term, this can allow for an increased susceptibility to low cortisol associated diseases. (Unfortunately there is no discussion on the possibility that this might be an overall positive regarding anxiety, and no information on what these diseases might be. ed.) | |||
