Swedish snus (Swedish: Snus, Swedish pronunciation: [snʉːs]) is a smokeless tobacco product containing nicotine. It is made by grinding tobacco into a powder and mixing it with salt and water, and sometimes with flavorings such as bergamot oil, rose oil, or licorice. Swedish snus is different from chewing tobacco or fermented dip tobacco and should not be confused with each other. Swedish pipe tobacco is autoclaved (not fermented) and the nicotine is absorbed into the body through the mouth, where it enters the bloodstream and gives a feeling of euphoria. Many people consider a moist mouthpiece to be a healthier alternative to smoking. More people in Sweden today smoke snus (19 %) than cigarettes (10 %).
