Circ - Smokeless Tobacco & Myocardial Infarction

"Discontinuation of Smokeless Tobacco and Mortality Risk After Myocardial Infarction"
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/130/4/325.abstract 
"Conclusions—In this study, discontinuation of snus use after an MI was associated with a nearly halved mortality risk, similar to the benefit associated with smoking cessation. These observations suggest that the use of snus after MI should be discouraged."
