Tobaco candy linked to poisoning children.

Tobacco...candy. Wow.

They finally found a way to deliver tobacco in a form more disgusting than chew.
 
Stupid media scaremongering. Screw the children. Not in the clergy way, the "Kids need to play with guns, dirt, and, snakes to prevent the pussification of America" way. I'm half serious.
 
snus bears as much resemblance to candy as a tea bag does

What sort of children's candy do you have to be 18 to buy?
 
Is this stuff carcinogenic? Normally I would automatically assume anything with Tobacco would be, but Snus isn't as it's not fire cured...

Fewer carcinogens (than smoking tobacco) does not equate to no carcinogens. There is still ongoing research concerning nicotine itself and its effects on everything from heart disease, to hypertension, to diabetes.

I'm going to have to agree with pipelineaudio on this one. The type of toddler that would eat a Snus is the type of toddler that would eat a cigarette. Neither one is in a form designed to appeal to children. The other items listed in the story are a completely different matter.
