Snus in the UK

Made from tobacco leaves, traditional snus can be classified as a dry variant of snuff. Its production dates back to the 18th century, when people were able to buy Swedish snus. Unlike chewing tobacco, traditional snus is a Scandinavian tobacco product that is regulated differently in various countries. 

These days, “snus” and “nicotine pouches” are often used to refer to tobacco-free white pouches in the UK. However, they are not the same. Traditional snus contains tobacco, while white snus and nicotine pouches do not. Since the rise of nicotine pouches in Sweden, tobacco use has decreased significantly. 

Here at Haypp UK, we do not stock traditional snus, which contains tobacco, since it is not legal in the UK. Instead, we focus exclusively on alternative nicotine products, such as tobacco-free snus. These alternatives have revolutionised the market, offering an alternative way to enjoy nicotine. Join us as we delve into this tobacco-free product you can purchase in the UK.

Different brands categorise snus strengths differently and use various measuring systems.  

Here at Haypp, we categorise snus strength by nicotine content per pouch as follows: 

While some brands offer snus with more than 20 mg of nicotine per pouch, Haypp carries a maximum of 20 mg per pouch to prioritise the well-being of our customers. Our dedication to providing an enjoyable experience ensures that we offer products that align with your best interests.

In general, traditional snus offers a robust tobacco flavour and a smoky aroma, particularly in original varieties. However, white snus lacks this smoky taste. The presence of smoke flavour in original snus makes it well-suited for blending with stronger flavours like mint and liquorice. 

For those who prefer to avoid the smoky taste, white snus can be mixed with various flavours to enhance its appeal. White snus stands out as the most versatile option for buyers, serving as a blank canvas ready to be flavoured according to individual preferences. Popular flavour options include melon, lime, blueberry, and apple. 

Swedish snus pouches are crafted from tobacco leaves, water, and salt. Leading tobacco companies like Philip Morris International (PMI) and Swedish Match have played significant roles in both the development and promotion of snus pouches. 

On the other hand, nicotine pouches are formulated with nicotine, water, sweeteners, flavourings, and other plant-based fibres. These pouches resemble mini tea bags and are available in various sizes, providing convenience and ease of use. 

Loose snus, the oldest form, comes in coarse, medium, and fine grinds. It can be moulded into any shape using hands or a moulding tool. Other types of snus are packaged in pouches for easier use. To use tobacco-free snus or nicotine pouches, place the pouch between your upper lip and gum and wait for it to work.

While traditional snus remains a popular choice, several alternatives cater to individuals aiming to reduce tobacco consumption. Nicotine pouches provide a tobacco-free option, delivering nicotine without the associated risks. They are popular as they do not leave the teeth with a brown stain or tint. Available in various flavours and strengths, they offer versatility for users.

The Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) has made assessments regarding the health effects and risk reduction associated with the use of smokeless tobacco products like snus. The prevalence of white snus use varies across European countries, with notable usage in Sweden and Norway. 

Electronic cigarettes offer another alternative. They mimic the smoking experience, though long-term health effects are still under study.
