Wait, whats snus?
Snus (pronounced /ˈsnuːs/) is a type of moist powder tobacco that is consumed by placing it under the lip for extended periods of time. Snus is steam- rather than fire-cured, is not fermented, and contains no added sugar. The sale of snus is illegal in the European Union[1][2], but due to exemptions, it is still manufactured and consumed primarily in Sweden and Norway.
There are two main types of snus on the market:
Original snus or loose snus is a loose, moist powder which can be portioned and packed into a cylindrical or spherical shape with the fingertips or snus portioner. The end result is often referred to as a pris (pinch) or prilla or prell (slang for pris).
Portion snus, is prepackaged powder in small bags made from the same material as teabags. It comes in smaller quantities than the loose powder but is considered easier to handle (and expectorate) than the loose powder.
Camel Snus is portioned.
