* The products in question are better described as traditional recipes that contain tobacco (and much else). That doesn't inhibit the authors from drawing conclusions that range far beyond the products and geography of their study and chiming in with something about flavours, as that is the happening thing now. | |||
* Needs reading as it may help differentiate the risk of some Indian SLT | |||

* 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. | * The effect on body cortisol response over a retrospective period in users of this product has not been previously explored.

* FTND - ST scores ranged from 4-9, with 85% of Toombak users reflecting high levels of psycho-dependency (score>5) and nicotine tolerance. | * 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.) | * Cortisol body release in Sudanese smokeless tobacco users was found to be significantly altered.
