Schwacher Snus

When weak snus is worthwhile

• You want to reduce your intake – gradually moving away from stronger varieties.
• You like to keep a pouch in for a long time – if a pouch stays under your lip for 30 to 60 minutes, every milligram counts.
• You prefer subtle effects – a gentle effect in everyday life instead of a powerful kick.
• You are sensitive – nausea or a racing heart are often signs of too much nicotine.

mg/g and mg per pouch – explained briefly

• mg/g – nicotine per gram of content. Useful for comparison.
• mg per pouch – the amount you actually place under your lip.

The format also matters: A Mini with the same mg/g contains fewer milligrams than a Slim because there is simply less content in the pouch. A good example is the VELO Mini Bright Spearmint in the small Mini format. For comparison, a Slim: edel MINT AW with 10 mg/g.

The 1/5 scale on the can is a rough guide, not a substitute for the mg value. If you want to compare brands directly: nicotine content comparison.

A few mild varieties at a glance

Here are four mild examples with stated values:

Too mild? How to move up gradually

• Start with the format: Slim instead of Mini contains more product and therefore more mg.
• Then choose a slightly higher mg/g value among the mild varieties.
• Only after that is it worth moving on to strong snus (often 14–20 mg/g).
