October 24, 2011   Health officials are manning the school ramparts for a fresh tobacco assault they feel sure is about to happen, if it hasn’t started already. Colorado is a test market for RJ Reynolds new line of dissolvable tobacco products. They just can’t prove it.

It was May when the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company introduced its new “dissolvable” products into Colorado as a test market. Those products include Camel Orbs, pellets roughly the size of breath minds; Camel sticks, twisted sticks the size of a toothpick; and Camel strips, similar to breath strips. All are made from finely ground menthol-flavored tobacco and are designed to melt in the mouth. Tobacco is tobacco, even if it is smokeless, and it’s illegal for vendors to sell the products to minors.
