The nicotine content of snus differs from that of conventional cigarettes. Snus is about the perceived strength, which is usually declared with dots on all snus cans. So it may well be that you like a different nicotine content in a snus than in a cigarette.

What is the nicotine content of snus and how is it declared?

1 to 10 mg/g nicotine = normal snus

11 to 20 mg/g nicotine = strong snus

20 to 43 mg/g nicotine = very strong snus

Over 44 mg/g nicotine = ultra-strong snus

How many grams of nicotine are in a cigarette?

Even with cigarettes, it is not possible to say in general terms how many grams of nicotine a cigarette contains. Here, too, it varies from brand to brand. The average nicotine content of a cigarette is 12 mg/g per cigarette. Since the burning cigarette is ignited, the nicotine affects your body differently.

How does nicotine get into snus?

As there are different types of snus, the nicotine gets into the snus in different ways.

In a snus with tobacco, the tobacco is finely ground and mixed with other ingredients such as salt, flavorings, water and humectants. As the tobacco plant already contains nicotine, this is how the nicotine gets into the snus. One of the best-known snus with tobacco is Oden's snus.

In tobacco-free snus, also known as all-white snus, the nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plant. The extracted nicotine is then added to the snus with other ingredients. All White snus has the advantage that it does not stain your teeth and also runs much less than snus with tobacco. The most popular All White snus in our snus shop is VELO snus.

How is the nicotine content perceived when consuming snus?

The strength depends not only on the snus nicotine content, but also on the different pH values of the ingredients and the flavors. For example, a snus that is more runny than a conventional snus will enter the body much faster than a snus with a lower moisture content. Flavors such as mint and menthol offer you an additional feeling of freshness and increase the perceived strength.

Which snus varieties does Snusland recommend with different nicotine strengths?

Regular snus: SKRUF Super White Fresh #2

Strong snus: VELO Berry Frost X-Strong

Very strong snus: Odens Cold Dry

Nicotine-free snus: SCOOPER Fresh Mint
