How Does Snus Differ?

Snus is traditionally made from salt, water, tobacco, and flavorings. To categorize snus, the following points are mainly examined:

• Nicotine content (ranging from 0 mg/g to over 40 mg/g)
• Snus strength (nicotine-free, normal, strong, very strong, extremely strong)
• Size of nicotine pouches (Large, Normal, Slim, Super Slim, Mini)
• Format (Loose Snus, Original Portion, White Portion, White Dry Portion)
• Flavors (including mint, berries, menthol)

The snus strength depends not only on the nicotine content but also on moisture and pH value, which determine how the effect of nicotine is perceived. The moisture content indicates how quickly the nicotine kick sets in. Wetter snus feels stronger because the nicotine is absorbed directly through saliva into the brain.

The pH value indicates how much nicotine can be absorbed. The higher the pH value, the more nicotine can be taken up. Finally, flavors can also contribute to how intense we experience the taste.
