A smokeless tobacco product, snus is made from ground or shredded tobacco which is moistened and mixed with salt, water and flavour additives. It can be loose or pre-portioned into small tea bag-like pouches. These are placed between the upper lip and gum or cheek for a prolonged period of time (hours or even days). The nicotine and flavour are absorbed through the oral mucosa. There are a number of different brands and types of snus. Many of these contain nicotine, but some do not, e.g. nicotine pouches that do not contain tobacco leaf but only a powder containing nicotine and other chemicals.Find out :https://heysnus.com/de

Innovations in Snus: New Flavors and Varieties

Smoking rates have fallen significantly in Sweden since the 1980s, while snus use has remained relatively stable. Proponents of snus have attributed Sweden’s low smoking rates to the availability of snus, and suggest that it has helped smokers quit smoking.

Studies have also suggested that snus may be protective against heart disease. A recent pooled analysis of seven cross-sectional Norwegian studies found that the relative risk for cardiovascular disease (such as ischaemic heart disease and stroke) for daily snus users was lower than that for smokers, after adjustment for age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, glucose tolerance at baseline, physical activity, ethnicity and gender.

However, snus is not without its health risks. It can cause oral cancer and gum disease. It can also increase the risk of respiratory disorders, and it can raise blood pressure and heart rate. In a small study of snus users, changes to systolic and diastolic blood pressure occurred in the hour following snus use, but returned to normal levels in the subsequent hour.
