Snus

The main types of snus

Not all snus is the same – key differences explained

Snus products differ in nicotine strength, moisture level, portion format and flavour. In general, you’ll come across White Portion, Original Portion and Dry Portion snus. Original Portion snus is moist and delivers full flavour straight away, while White Portion has a slightly drier surface, helping it last longer and reducing drip. Dry Portion takes it a step further, offering especially discreet use with a slower nicotine release. Nicotine strength is another major difference: products such as Siberia or Oden's Extreme are among the strongest on the market and aren’t suitable for beginners. Brands like XRANGE or Edel snus offer more balanced options with moderate nicotine levels.

Snus benefits for everyday use – clean, discreet, effective!

Snus offers a practical, discreet and smoke-free way to use nicotine, with many advantages over conventional cigarettes. Because snus is used orally and absorbed through the oral mucosa, there’s no smoke, no smell and no ash. This makes it ideal on the go, at work or anywhere smoking isn’t allowed. From a harm-reduction perspective, snus is often considered a less harmful alternative to smoking. Studies show that snus use produces significantly fewer harmful substances than smoking. There’s also no second-hand smoke, protecting both you and those around you. With different nicotine strengths available, it’s easier to keep your intake under control. Pre-portioned pouches make use simple, clean and fuss-free.

FAQ – Answers to questions from our community

Snus is a smoke-free nicotine product originally from Sweden. It’s a blend of ground tobacco, water, salt and flavourings, available loose or in small pouches. A pouch is placed under the upper lip, where it releases nicotine through the oral mucosa.

Place snus under your upper lip, either loose or as a portioned pouch. The effect usually kicks in after a few minutes and lasts around 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the product and your personal tolerance. There’s no need to chew or suck while using it; nicotine is absorbed automatically through the lining of the mouth.

Yes, the sale and use of snus are legal in Switzerland. Unlike in many EU countries, where the sale of snus is banned (except Sweden), Switzerland allows both import and sale. You can therefore buy and use snus legally in specialist shops or online shops.

Place the snus between your gum and upper lip, as high up as possible. This supports even nicotine absorption and helps prevent irritation. Don’t chew or suck!

Don’t always use snus on the same side of your mouth. Switching sides helps reduce irritation or pressure points on your gums.

To keep your snus fresh, store it in a cool, dry place. For Original Portions in particular, refrigerated storage helps preserve flavour and extend shelf life.
