Snus
Snus is a traditional Scandinavian Smokeless Tobacco product, used particularly in Sweden. Unlike other smokeless tobacco, snus has a relatively high nicotine delivery and absorption, and relatively lower levels of harmful substances. The lower levels of toxins are generally attributed to how it is manufactured and stored. Public health interest in snus began following observations of the so-called ‘Swedish Experience’, which attributes Sweden’s low smoking prevalence, and resulting low occurrence of smoking related diseases, to high rates of snus use among Swedish men.
