Snus is a Swedish traditional tobacco of oral usage, also called in some countries as moist snuff. It also reported that all the large studies on the subject in Sweden are in agreement that smokeless tobacco has a much lower risk for adverse cardiovascular effects than smoking does. You then have an extra strong nicotine pouch, a strong sweet option and a relatively light, tropical pouch at your disposal respectively.

Pregnant women using snus gave birth to babies weighing an average of 1.4 ounces less than non-tobacco users, were twice as likely to deliver prematurely, and are more likely to suffer pre-eclampsia than both smokers and nontobacco users source: Gartner et al. Snus also creates greater risk of oral lesions and tooth decay.

A portion of loose snus can last up to an hour before it totally loses its effects and flavor. Recent actions by many European governments to limit the use of cigarettes has led to calls to lift the ban on snus, as it is generally considered to be less harmful than cigarette smoke, both to the user 26 and to others.

There is no debate that snus is less harmful than cigarettes. You use it the same way as snus or chew, place it somewhere in your mouth, and if you wish for a release of additional nicotine you can chew on it gently once in a while. So if you run into a Swedish snuser, chances are they’ll give you a pouch for free if you ask them even though you’re complete stranger.

Lunell and Lunell (2005) evaluated the extraction of nicotine from snus and measured steady-state plasma nicotine concentrations following repeated use of four Swedish pouched snus products with nicotine content ranging from 4.53 to 8.84 http://www.dance.net/topic/8585689/1/Ballet-General/Ballet-and-Smoking-How-many-of-you-dancers-smoke-even-though-you-do-ballet.html?page=2 mg or a 2 mg nicotine gum over the course of 1 day.

In a review of smokeless tobacco and related health effects in Sweden, the rate of uptake and Cmax of nicotine obtained from snus was reported to be intermediate between an NRT (such as nicotine gum or dermal patches) and cigarettes ( Foulds et al., 2003 ). However, the composition of nicotine and tobacco products on the market today has changed somewhat since such earlier studies were carried out.

Snus comes in different types and you can choose the one you prefer according to how concentrated you would like the taste of tobacco to be and how you prefer to use the product. However, the AUC0-120 for the 11 mg snus was only about 1.3 times higher than for the 4.2 mg gum, suggesting that the nicotine in the oral tobacco may be less bioavailable compared with that in the gum.

But while non-tobacco snus are still R18 (as is the case with all nicotine delivery products), in other ways snus aren’t subject to the same laws as cigarettes. No published nicotine pharmacokinetics study to date has directly compared cigarettes with snus, tested types of snus with varying nicotine content, or compared loose with pouched snus.

A different method to measure the nicotine dose is to monitor the blood plasma levels during one day of controlled tobacco consumption (snus use or smoking) and then compare the nicotine uptake curves with the corresponding curve for a reference product with a known nicotine dose.

Snus has been compared to dipping tobacco. Snus is a form of smokeless tobacco most typically popular in Scandinavia. Including different types of snus like snus tobacco or nicotine pouche, the tobacco free snus. Smoking is known to be a high risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
