The Norwich Guidon reported in 2011 that two highly toxic substances, the 'Formaldehyde' and 'Polonium 210,' and many more dangerous chemicals are found in every tin of smokeless tobacco (Grizzly Wintergreen), affectionately called "dip" by its users.
Formaldehyde, a dangerous liquid that is used to embalm dead animals and corpses, can be an irritable air pollutant, causing cancer and respiratory illness.
Polonium 210 is 250,000 times more toxic than hydrogen cyanide; a killing agent used in suicide pills issued to national spies, in case of capture. Polonium 210 is also usually found in nuclear waste.
