SNUS vs tobacco free SNUS

SNUS VS SMOKELESS SNUS

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE CONFUSE SNUS AND SMOKE-FREE SNUS?

Want to know why some people use the word "snus" to refer to nicopods? Nicopouches explains the origin of this confusion and why nicopods can also be called snus without tobacco or Snus 2.0.

SAME APPEARANCE

Both snus and nicopods or tobacco-free snus come in small pouches about one centimetre long. Traditional snus and tobacco-free snus are used in the same way, by placing a pouch under the lip in contact with the gum. In this way, they are completely invisible and can therefore be used with great discretion. The greatest advantage of snus and nicopods is that they do not give off smoke or vapour, and can therefore be used even in places where smoking is prohibited. They are therefore products to be consumed orally, the diffusion of nicotine is done by wetting the gums.

SNUS VS TOBACCO-FREE SNUS: A DIFFERENT COMPOSITION

Snus and tobacco-free snus have a different composition. Traditional snus is a tobacco product, containing dried leaves ground into a fine powder. The main disadvantage is that tobacco consumed in this form can stain the teeth and in some cases cause gum damage. In contrast, tobacco-free snus contains only plant fibres, nicotine, and mostly flavourings. Although addictive, nicotine is not a carcinogen. Using tobacco-free snus therefore protects you from the dangers of smoking while still being able to satisfy your nicotine needs during smoking cessation.

WHY ARE NICOPODS CALLED SNUS WITHOUT TOBACCO?

Nicopods first appeared in Scandinavia in 2017. Popularised by the brand Lyft (formerly Epok), they have been marketed in France since 2020, under the term "nicotine pouches". In Anglo-Saxon countries, nicotine pouches are mostly known as "nicopods". In order to simplify things for consumers, and especially because some people wrongly confuse Scandinavian snus and nicotine pouches, Nicopouches has decided to alternatively name nicotine pouches "Nicotine pouches", "nicopods", "Snus 2.0" or "Snus without tobacco". You will find all these names on our website. Please keep in mind that all the products sold on our site do not contain tobacco!
