Smokeless tobacco offers many flavors, like cherry and apple. In addition, there are also such products like small flavored cigars and snus that resemble teabags that smokers suck between gum and cheek.
Anti-tobacco advocates state that parents who don’t smoke are not aware about the new threat coming from smokeless flavored tobacco, as they simply have no idea that such products exist.

Health care organizations around the country have taken the lead among employers in banning smoking in the workplace. In Palm Beach County, in 2007, Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center became the first hospital to ban smoking everywhere on its campus. St. Mary’s Medical Center followed suit. It also screens applicants for nicotine and rejects candidates who are smokers. Delray Medical Center is slated to join the county’s other smoke-free hospitals in 2011.
