Snus: nicotine without smoke
Snus is the perfect option for all people who want to consume nicotine without smoking. In Scandinavia, oral tobacco has a long tradition and has now replaced the classic tobacco cigarette. The reason for this is primarily the negative effects of tobacco smoking on health. Snus with or without tobacco unfolds its effect by clamping the small pouches under the upper lip. The ingredients are absorbed through the oral mucosa within a few minutes.
Nicotine content of snus
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to the nicotine content of snus. There are various nicotine strengths from 10mg/g up to 45mg/g to choose from. It should be noted that the size of the pouches (bags) varies greatly depending on the product. Since ultimately the nicotine content per pouch is crucial for the effect of snus, we are practically the first Swiss snus store to give you the nicotine content per pouch for each product. So you can see at a glance how much nicotine is contained in each pouch and you can quickly decide which product best suits your nicotine needs.
How does snus taste?
The classic snus from Sweden has an intense tobacco flavor. Here too, however, most varieties are flavored, mostly with mint or menthol flavors. The new tobacco-free All White Snus varieties have no tobacco flavor, as they also contain no tobacco. They taste ostensibly of the integrated flavorings, which often have an intense mint or berry flavor. Tobacco-free snus today spreads a refreshing taste in the mouth and has little to do with the traditional "loose snus".
In what sizes and packaging is snus sold?
- Mini (Super Slim): 0.3 to 0.5 g snus
- Slim: 0.5 to 0.6 g snus
- Normal: 0.8 to 0.9 g snus
- Large: 0.9 to 1.1 g snus
What are the types of snus?
Oral tobacco has a long tradition, especially in Sweden and Norway. The oldest type of snus, (Ljunglöfs Ettan), has been around since 1822. In the past, snus tobacco was sold loose and formed into a small ball by hand and then pushed between the lip and gum. Today, snus is consumed almost exclusively in pre-packaged small pouches, which are available in the following dosage forms.
All White (Tobacco Free Snus)
All White" is the name given to tobacco-free snus, which contain plant fibers and gum base instead of tobacco. The widely used snus without tobacco has achieved a great popularity and various brands such as Velo vie for the favor of consumers. The reason for its popularity lies in its intense flavors, ease of use, and "clean" image. Buying All White Snus makes sense especially for beginners who are not into the classic tobacco taste. Nicotine pouches are now sold at every kiosk, but also online in various online stores.
Loose Snus (Loose Snus)
Loose snus is non-portioned tobacco, which is formed by hand into a small ball and then placed in the mouth. Loose snus is the perfect choice for experienced consumers who are looking for a quick nicotine kick. The dose can be determined by the user and the effect is very fast.
Original portion (OP)
Original portion is the name given to portioned snus pouches, which are slightly moistened and also contain moist tobacco. Because of the moisture, the pouches turn slightly brown. Also with this type of snus, the effect sets in quickly and Original Portions are therefore popular with experienced snus users.
White Portion (WP)
White Portion is the name given to pouches that contain moist tobacco on the outside but dry tobacco on the inside. This type of production offers the advantage that the taste experience lasts longer and the product absorbs less quickly with moisture.
White Dry Portion (WDP)
In contrast to the White Portion, the White Dry Portion pouch and contents are equally dry. The pouches are completely white and the active ingredients are only activated as soon as moistening begins.
