Snus

Snus is a smokeless tobacco product placed in the upper lip originating in Scandinavia. Unlike Dipping tobacco, snus is steam-pasteurized instead of fermented, and spitting is not necessary.

Snus has a lengthy history in Europe, notably in Sweden and Scandinavian nations, but has not had much of a presence until recently in the United States, likely due to the proliferation of other smokeless tobacco products. However, snus is now banned in the European Union except for Sweden, and it has seen a recent increase in popularity in North America due to tobacco consumers switching for the sake of harm reduction.

For the sake of simplicity, only American-market snus are included in the lists below.
