How many grams of nicotine does one cigarette have?
With cigarettes, too, you can't say across the board how many grams of nicotine a cigarette contains. Here, too, it varies from brand to brand. For the cigarette, the average nicotine content is 12 mg/g per cigarette. Since the burning cigarette is ignited, the nicotine affects your body differently.
How does the nicotine get into snus?
Since there are different types of snus, the nicotine gets into the snus in different ways.
In a snus with tobacco, the tobacco is ground very finely and mixed with other ingredients such as salt, flavors, water and humectants. Since the tobacco plant already contains nicotine, the nicotine thus gets into the snus. One of the best known snus with tobacco is the Odens Snus.
In the tobacco-free snus, also All White Snus, the nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plant. The extracted nicotine then enters the snus with other ingredients. All White Snus have the advantage that the snus does not stain your teeth and also runs much less than a snus with tobacco. The most popular All White snus in our snus shop is the VELO snus.
How is the snus nicotine content perceived when consumed?
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 regular snus will enter the body much faster than a snus with a lower moisture content. Flavors like mint and menthol provide you with an additional feeling of freshness and increase the perceived strength.

Regular snus: SKRUF Super White Fresh #2
Strong snus: VELO Berry Frost X-Strong
Very strong snus: Odens Cold Dry
