Facts About Snus

SNUS history

Tobacco plants grow naturally in America and Australia. The indigenous people of America probably used tobacco for pleasure, in rituals and as medicine.

When Columbus came to America, he wrote in his journal that he had seen a man carry on dried leaves. The Spanish sailors also saw that people were burning a torch of tobacco, and that others were burning tobacco in pipes and breathing smoke through their noses.

The tobacco plant came to Portugal in the 16th century and got it´s Latin name- Nicotiana Tabacum, after Jean Nicot.

He was an ambassador living in Portugal and sent tobacco home to the royals in France.

For centuries, many believed that tobacco was an herb that could heal wounds and cure diseases. To get the effect, squeeze out juice and apply it to the skin, put the leaves on the skin, or sniff crushed, dried tobacco through the nose.

Sniffing tobacco was modern in many countries in Europe in the 17th century, but only the rich could afford it. In the 18th century, ordinary people in Sweden began mixing the exclusive tobacco plant with water and salt to make it cheaper.

In Norway, people did not start sniffing until the 19th century.

What is SNUS?

Snus is a smokeless tobacco product placed between lip and gum.

The substances in the snus enter the blood through the mucous membrane of the mouth.

Snus is made from ground tobacco leaves mixed with flavors, water, salt and a variety of other chemical compounds. Several of these substances are carcinogenic, including heavy metals and radioactive polonium.

Snus is designed for users to enjoy the taste and the experience, preferably they become addicted.

People who depend are loyal customers.

The drug you become addicted to is called nicotine.

Nicotine stimulates the reward center in the brain while giving the body a stress response.

There are countless flavors and strengths of the nicotine content of snus.

Usually the color is dark brown or black, but there are also white variations. Snus is sold as loose or packed in finished portions of different sizes. A box of portion snuff contains between 13-35 servings.

All types of snus contain addictive nicotine and substances that are classified as carcinogenic.

What happens when you put SNUS under your lip?

Most people think it sticks a little in the gums where you put the snus.

What one otherwise notices in the body when taking a snus is the effect of nicotine.

Nicotine quickly goes into the bloodstream and reaches all organs of the body.

Nicotine stimulates the brain's reward center while putting the body in acute stress mode.

Snus therefore has both an invigorating and a soothing effect.

Nicotine causes all the blood vessels in the body to contract, thus reducing blood circulation.

When you have snus under your lip, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood around, and you get higher heart rate and blood pressure.

Good blood circulation is needed, for example, for the skin to heal wounds and for muscles to maintain good condition.

Nicotine affects the brain to secrete substances that give a feeling of well-being. The risk of becoming dependent on this effect is very high.

Loose snus is a moist powder which can be portioned and packed into a cylindrical or spherical shape with the fingertips or a purpose-made cylindrical device. The end result is often referred to as a pris (pinch), buga, prilla, or prell (slang). Some users (usually long-time users) simply pinch the tobacco and place it under their upper lip (farmer's pinch or living snus). Over time, the demand for loose snus has been replaced by portioned varieties. Many users of snus today prefer the discreet nature of the latter variety.

Portion snus is packaged moist powder in small teabag-like sachets. It comes in smaller quantities than the loose powder, but is considered more convenient and discreet than loose snus. The two varieties of portion snus are:
Original portion, introduced in 1973, is the traditional form. The sachet material is moisturized during the manufacturing process, resulting in a brown, moist pouch.

White portion is a milder-tasting and slightly slower-release form. The sachet material is not moisturized during the manufacturing process, resulting in a white, dry pouch. The tobacco within the portion material has the same moisture content as original portion snus, but the nicotine and flavor are somewhat slower in delivery due to the drier sachet. "White portion" refers to the style, not the color, as many white portion snus use a black material instead of white, yet are "white portion". Examples include General Onyx and Grovsnus Svart (Black) and Blue Ocean (Blue).
