HISTORY OF SNUS: FROM INNOVATION TO CURRENT POPULARITY

Although it's new to many people in Brazil, snus has a long and interesting history. Originating in Scandinavian countries, it has undergone transformations over the decades and today presents itself as one of the most modern, discreet, and clean ways to consume nicotine. In this article, you will understand where it came from, how it evolved, and why it is conquering the world.

Scandinavian origin

Snus originated in Sweden in the 18th century as an alternative to chewing tobacco. At the time, it was a type of moist tobacco placed under the lip. The term "snus" derives from a Swedish word that literally means "moist snuff".

The key difference was that it was fermented , not burned or inhaled. This already indicated an advance over traditional methods of nicotine consumption, as it eliminated combustion—and all the harms associated with smoke.

TRANSITION TO MODERN FORMAT

Over the years, particularly between the 1970s and 2000s, snus underwent significant improvements:

  • The product began to be pasteurized , which reduced the presence of nitrosamines (carcinogenic substances).

  • The product was packaged in sachets , which increased convenience and hygiene in its use.

  • It gained tobacco-free versions, containing only purified nicotine, natural flavors, and vegetable fibers.

This new format, known as a nicotine pouch in some countries, is what we popularly know today as modern snus — and it's exactly the type sold by Nico More .

Explosion of popularity in Europe and the USA

Snus gained prominence in several European countries, especially Sweden and Norway, where it even helped to significantly reduce the number of smokers. After that, it began to gain traction in the North American market as a clean and socially acceptable alternative to cigarettes.

In the United States, major brands entered the market offering different flavors, intensities, and formats. Young people, especially those seeking performance and freedom, quickly embraced the trend.

WHY IS SNUS THE FUTURE?

  • It does not pollute the environment.

  • It can be used discreetly anywhere.

  • It is safer than smokable products.

  • It has varying intensity levels for beginners and experienced users.

  • It doesn't interfere with breathing or physical routine.

Snus is not just a trend. It's an evolution.
Now that you know its history, how about giving it a try and being a part of the future?
