What is Snus?
Snus is a moist tobacco product that is typically placed under the upper lip, where it slowly releases nicotine. It is traditional product that has been used in Sweden for over 200 years and is popular both in Sweden and Norway. Swedish snus has over the years become more and more popular in other countries such as USA. Swedish snus is made from ground tobacco mixed with water, salt and sometimes flavorings like mint, berries or licorice. There are many different flavors and strengths to choose from, ranging from mild and fresh to strong and traditional.
Unlike cigarettes, which must be smoked, snus gives users a nicotine experience without producing smoke, making it an alternative that is often considered less harmful than smoking. Swedish snus comes in both loose form (where the user shapes it into a ball) and portioned snus (which comes in small, ready-made pouches).
There has been som debate about the health risks of snus, but Swedish snus is generally seen as less dangerous than smoking, although it still carries risks, especially for dental health and the cardiovascular system.
What is all white snus ( nicotine pouches ) ?
White tobacco-free snus, also known as nicotine pouches or all white snus, is a modern variation of traditional snus that does not contain any tobacco. Instead of tobacco, these products are made from plant fibers, usually cellulose, combined with nicotine and various flavorings. The pouches are white and remain white even after use, unlike traditional snus, which turns brown due to the tobacco content.
Since white tobacco-free snus contains no tobacco, users avoid many of the substances typically found in tobacco products. However, they still provide a nicotine experience, making them popular among those who want to avoid tobacco but still enjoy nicotine. The strength and flavors vary widely, from classic mint to fruity or more innovative options.
Tobacco-free snus is often marketed as cleaner and fresher alternative, both in terms of taste and its effect on teeth, as it does not cause the same staining as tobacco snus.
