What kind of cigarette is the popular snus?
Driven by globalization and technological progress, people's consumption concepts and health awareness are undergoing profound changes. In recent years, the new tobacco industry has emerged in this transformation, attracting the attention of many consumers with its unique smoking method and lower health risks. Among them, modern snus (nicotine pouches), as a shining star in the new tobacco field, is gradually becoming a track that major traditional tobacco giants are competing for layout.
Snus, also known as lip smoke, has a history that can be traced back to France in the 16th century. At that time, snuff became fashionable among France's upper classes, with people inhaling tobacco powder through their noses. The custom spread to Sweden in the 17th century and evolved into the snus we know today. One of the original intentions of snus is to replace traditional Cigarettes, so it is considered a harm-reduced product. In Sweden, snus is called SNUS, and its use has become popular among the people and has become an effective means for local people to quit smoking.
Snus differs significantly from traditional cigarettes in several ways. First of all, snus does not contain tobacco, but uses synthetic nicotine salt as the main ingredient, thereby avoiding harmful substances produced by burning tobacco. This makes snus less harmful in nature. Secondly, snus does not need to be lit and can absorb nicotine through the oral mucosa, achieving a smoke-free and tar-free smoking experience. Finally, the snus smoking method is more private and convenient, is not restricted by the environment, and is suitable for various occasions.
Snus smoking is simple and unique. Users only need to place the snus between their lips and teeth, and through contact with the oral mucosa, the nicotine particles will gradually dissolve and be absorbed into the blood, thus satisfying the smoker's need for nicotine. This method of smoking avoids the smoke and tar produced by burning traditional cigarettes, thereby reducing damage to the lungs and the surrounding environment. At the same time, the smoking process of snus is slow and long-lasting, which makes the release of nicotine more stable and helps reduce the discomfort caused by excessive nicotine.
However, despite its excellent performance in reducing health risks, snus is not completely harmless. Long-term chewing tobacco may have certain effects on oral health. There are many taste receptors and teeth in the oral cavity. Long-term chewing tobacco may damage taste buds and lead to oral taste disorder. At the same time, the ingredients in chewing tobacco may cause damage to the hard tissues of teeth, gradually discoloring teeth and reducing chewing function. In addition, chewing tobacco may also irritate the tongue mucosa and periodontal tissue, leading to inflammation and loose teeth. Salivary glands may also be stimulated, affecting saliva secretion, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as dry mouth. And although snus reduces smoke and tar intake, nicotine itself still has certain negative effects on the human body.
