Oral Tobacco Products: Moist snuff and snus

Oral Tobacco products like moist snuff and snus include cut or ground tobacco that is provided loose or pouched for placement between the cheek and gum. Early products were often a loose leaf/powder, minimally processed, that produced a brown extract in the mouth that almost always required spitting. Over time, many of these products have advanced greatly in terms of usability, manufacturing, and composition, particularly with respect to modern snus, which typically has reduced toxicant levels relative to other tobacco-containing Oral Products and requires no spitting. Moist snuff products similarly have progressed over time; while loose tobacco leaf/powder formats remain available, there has been a trend in recent years toward moist snuff pouched in a cellulose-based fleece material for ease of use and convenience.

Oral Nicotine Pouches

Oral Nicotine Pouches do not contain tobacco leaf. They contain a cellulosebased filler with high purity nicotine and flavours, wrapped in a fleece. They utilise nicotine extracted from tobacco that is refined and purified to minimise tobaccorelated toxicants. As such, Oral Nicotine Pouches have <1% of the toxicants found in cigarette smoke.^#
