White Portion Snus

Snus is traditionally sold loose and in metal tins. It was only with increasing popularity in the 1970s that the now well-known pouches were introduced. These simplify the transport and use of snus, as it no longer needs to be portioned out with the fingers. In this country, this type of snus is known as portion snus; in its home country Sweden, they are called ‘prilla’ or simply ‘portion’.

The snus market continues to evolve, and in 2003 the White Portion was introduced for the first time. In this type, the tobacco-based content is packed in dry pouches.
Attention, there is a risk of confusion between the White Portion and the “All White” portion snus. The All White products do contain nicotine but no tobacco at all.

How does White Portion differ from loose snus and Original Portion?

Loose snus uses ground tobacco leaves that are moistened with a mixture of water, salt, and flavors before being packed into tins. The Original Portion, by contrast, is packed in pouches that are slightly moistened after production.

The manufacturing process for White Portion is different because the tobacco is packed in dry pouches, but the content itself is slightly moist. This ensures that the tobacco inside runs less during use. In the case of the White Dry Portion, both the pouches and the content are even drier.

Among the new snus varieties is also the All White portion, where nicotine is added to the pouches either in salt form or as a liquid. These are completely tobacco-free and carry less risk of teeth discoloration after years of use. These products are perfect for quitting smoking, especially for people for whom nicotine patches and similar aids have not been successful.

What is the difference between White Portion and chewing tobacco?

It is often assumed that White Portion snus and chewing tobacco are the same product, but this is not true. Both variants are sold in small portion pouches and have similar flavors and additives. The difference lies, among other things, in the size of the tobacco leaves and in how they are used.

Chewing tobacco consists of larger tobacco leaves that are cut and packed in pouches. The pouches are made from a tougher material so they can be chewed better and longer. White Portion snus pouches are very thin and are not chewed during use but placed under the upper lip.
