Snus & Nicotine Pouches – What You Should Know

What’s the Difference Between Snus and Nicotine Pouches?

Snus is a traditional Swedish product made from moist tobacco, placed under the upper lip.

Nicotine pouches contain no tobacco – only nicotine, plant fibers, flavoring, and salt – and are legal in many countries, including Germany.

In casual speech, people often call nicotine pouches “Snus” because they’re used the same way and originate from similar cultures.
