Tag: Swedish snus

Dating back to the 18th century, snus has been a staple of Swedish culture, offering a unique form of smokeless tobacco. However, the term 'snu tobacco' is frequently used in error, mistakenly referring to this moist, ground oral nicotine product.

Swedish research has shown that traditional snus contains a specific range of sodium content, typically between 1.5% and 3.5% sodium chloride, or table salt. Knowing how much salt is in snus is key to understanding its flavor, preservation, and the chemical processes that make it an effective nicotine product.
