Snus in the UK
The world of snus has evolved significantly over the years, with a growing demand for stronger products. Snus enthusiasts are constantly on the lookout for the strongest snus that can deliver an intense nicotine kick and a satisfying experience, with many turning to extremely strong snus options like Siberia Snus, known for its 43 mg/g nicotine level. In this article, we delve into the world of strong snus, exploring what defines its strength, and the effects of using it.
What Defines the Strength of Snus?
The strength of snus is determined primarily by its nicotine content, measured in milligrams per gram (mg/g of nicotine). However, the perceived strength can vary from person to person, influenced by individual factors such as saliva levels and snus usage habits. Additionally, other elements like pH value, format, and moisture content play crucial roles in determining the overall strength of snus.
Snus strength is determined by the nicotine content, in milligrams per gram. However, it’s important to know the nicotine content per pouch since the weight of a pouch can vary depending on the format. That’s why it’s more accurate to measure per pouch.
You can check out our snus strengths guide at Northerner to understand how we categorise nicotine strengths.
