WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SNUS AND NICOTINE POUCHES?

With the availability of alternative nicotine products, the way the world enjoys nicotine is changing. At first glance it’s not easy to see the difference between the snus and nicotine pouches, which is why we’re giving you the low down on the key differences.

Snus, pronounced “snoose”, was originally manufactured in Sweden and is sometimes still called Swedish snus. The product is a powdered tobacco packaged in a pouch, called a portion, and is consumed by placing the pouch between your lip and gum. Snus is generally made with ground tobacco leaves, water, sodium carbonate and flavourings such as mint or menthol.

A nicotine pouch is a smoke-free, vapour-free, and tobacco-free product that is consumed in the same way as snus, between your lip and gum. Each pouch contains nicotine extract, fillers (plant-based fibres and small amounts of gum base), and different flavours according to the brand’s preferred recipe.

When it comes to using these two products, the differences are minimal. But the following is what separates nicotine pouches from snus.

*Tobacco-free
Snus is a powdered tobacco product, while nicotine pouches do not contain any tobacco.

Longer shelf life
Snus contains plant material which makes its self-life relatively short. In most nicotine pouches, however, the nicotine is extracted from the nicotiana tabacum plant crystalised into nicotine salt, excluding any plant matter. In short, this means it can last longer.

Variety of sizes
Most snus brands use large pouches, while nicotine pouches vary in size.
