Controversy over smokeless-tobacco marketing and health risks
Skoal has been part of broader public-health and legal controversies surrounding smokeless-tobacco advertising, youth exposure, nicotine dependence, and the health risks of oral tobacco. The issues concern the category and industry practices as well as individual brand promotion; this record does not attribute a separate brand-specific criminal finding to Skoal.
