\nInteresting, a rodeo rider from Whitehall, Montana, has invented a kind of snuff<\/a> that uses alfalfa and peppermint rather than any tobacco products. He eventually developed cancerous lesions in the mouth and lymphoma.<\/p>\n

Now cancer-free and with his jawbone luckily still intact, Dave Holt, working with the University of Nebraska, has invented this tobacco-free snuff that he says is as tasty as the real deal. Holt claims his concotion also makes a nice tea and helps ward off colds (Well, we’ll take his word for it, the big thing is, it isn’t CARCINOGENIC.). The family is producing 600 cans a day of their product and are ready to start making more as demand for more tobacco-free products grows.<\/p>\n

Here’s wishing them well. I’ll help give them a bit of free advertising. Here is their website:<\/p>\n
