Snus

Snus Online UK

Snus (also known as “snuff”) is a type of moist powdered oral tobacco that is usually held in the mouth between the upper lip and gum, and is usually associated with Sweden. Over the years, there have been many developments and changes in snus variations and usage across the globe.

Is Snus Legal in the UK?

A commonly asked question is “is snus legal in the UK?” You cannot buy traditional tobacco snus in the UK. However, tobacco-free snus (also known as nicotine pouches) are legal to buy and use in the UK if you are over 18 years old.

Tobacco vs Tobacco-Free Snus

There is one big difference between snus and tobacco-free snus: traditional snus contains tobacco, and tobacco-free snus does not contain tobacco leaf. 

Tobacco Free Snus Pouches

Tobacco-free snus, also known as nicotine pouches or nicopods, are portioned pouches that contain nicotine without tobacco. Like tobacco snus, these pouches are placed between the lip and gum. These pouches were developed in Sweden, the land of tobacco snus, to provide an tobacco-free alternative.
