We want to tell you how Epok Snus came to be and where you can buy the products under new names in Switzerland.
The history of Epok Snus
Traditionally, snus is made with ground tobacco and sold either loose or packed in small pouches. Until now, only the Original Portion, White Portion, and White Dry Portion variants were available on the market.
Epok revolutionized the snus market and was the first to produce a white variant of snus, which mainly consisted of plant fibers. In the manufacturing process, the normally brown tobacco leaves were made white through thorough cleaning and then packed in pouches. Normally, snus as a finished product has a brown color and drips to varying degrees depending on the variety.
However, Epok Snus is completely white, both on the outside and inside. It still has the good taste or the intense Effect of nicotine never lost. The snus effect remains even with white tobacco.
White snus offers snus users a number of advantages, for example, it does not stain fingers or teeth during use. Additionally, compared to traditional cigarettes, snus contains fewer toxic substances and does not need to be burned when consumed, so no carbon monoxide is produced.
For this reason, it is ideal for people who want a gradual Smoking cessation aspire. The ingredients of Epok Snus include tobacco leaves and plant fibers as well as salt, flavors, cellulose, and binders. Epok produced white snus in different nicotine strengths, ranging from mild to strong varieties.
Additionally, there were various flavors to choose from. Besides minty varieties, Epok also produced fruity options. When used, Epok Snus was placed under the upper lip just like other snus types and kept in the mouth until the effect wore off.
