[edit] Description

Swedish Snus, is a finely ground smokeless tobacco, similar to snuff, but available in either a loose moist tobacco, or a small teabag-like pouch which envelops the semi-moist tobacco. Both loose snus and portion snus is used in the same manner, by placing the molded loose snus or the portioned snus in between the upper lip and cheek for around thirty minutes, allowing the nicotine to absorb into the body. Portion snus weights are: Maxi Portion (1.5g), Portion (1.0g) or White Portion (0.8g).
