Snus is a moist tobacco product that originated in Sweden and is typically placed under the upper lip for extended periods. Unlike traditional chewing tobacco, it does not require spitting, making it a discreet option for users. Snus comes in various flavors and strengths, and it is often packaged in small pouches for convenience. The use of snus has been associated with lower health risks compared to smoking cigarettes, as it produces fewer harmful chemicals when consumed. However, it still contains nicotine, which can lead to addiction. Many countries have regulations regarding its sale and marketing, reflecting ongoing public health discussions.
