Cigarettes and Chewing tobacco vs. Snus
Snus is as you know a very Swedish product. For a long time only few people outside of Sweden knew what snus was. As you also might know, snus had hit a low point in Sweden in the late 1950´s. But snus increased in popularity again in the late 1960´s. The increase in popularity can be contributed to several factors. One of them might be the leftist movement that swept over Sweden at the time and that tried to adapt itself to proletarian ways. And what was more proletarian than snus at the time?
But another factor that also contributed to that snus became popular again was the discussions bout the dangers of smoking. Today we all know about the dangers of smoking and second hand smoke. In the late 1960´s this wasn’t clear to the majority of people. Most people knew that smoking wasn’t healthy, but few knew exactly how dangerous it actually was.
Snus is less harmfull than cigarettes and there are no bans on snus
This knew knowledge about smoking made an impact on the majority of smokers and the health issues of smoking were constantly debated in newspapers and on television. These alarming reports convinced a lot of people to quit smoking. But many people didn’t want to give up on tobacco all together. They were looking for a substitute to cigarettes, but wanted something that wasn’t as harmful. A lot of these turned to the Swedish traditional product of snus.
Interestingly something similar happened in Sweden about 35 years later. In 2005 smoking wasn’t allowed any more in bars and restaurants. Most people embraced this new law. People who weren’t smoking loved it and a lot of smokers also liked it since most people that really want to quit. The ban on smoking cured a lot of people from being party smokers. But still many people wanted to enjoy tobacco while they were in bars, restaurants and cafes. And again many of them turned to snus.
The benefits of snus are that it is allowed everywhere and it doesn’t bother anyone. There are no snus free restaurants or snus free public places. Since smoke is both smokeless and spitless there is no second hand smoke you don’t have to spit in a bottle every minute as you have to with chewing tobacco. In fact, a lot of people have stopped smoking with the help of snus.
If your are looking to quit with tobacco al together there is a new kind of snus that can help you. It is the relatively new nicotine and tobacco free snus. When this kind of snus was introduced it wasn’t expected to be a big hit. But it actually became so popular that it was sold out in all of Sweden just after a month.
To sum up: Snus is healthier than cigarettes and you will never harm anyone else while you are using it. You wont even bother any one else since it’s both
smokeless and spitless. You can use it at places where cigarettes aren’t allowed and since it’s small the chance is that your friends won’t even notice it.
Snus can be your own secret.
