Welcome to a site about online snus shopping

This is a site about the Swedish tobacco product called snus. Snus has existed in Sweden for over 150 years and is a spitless and smokeless form of tobacco. It is used orally under the upper lip. Today snus is used by both men and women, young and old and by people with a wide spectrum of employment and outlook on life. Originally snus was used exclusively by the framers and the working classes. The use of snus was considered to be a simpler form of tobacco than chewing tobacco and nasal tobacco. Nasal tobacco was considered to be the purest and the most exclusive form of tobacco and was used by the nobility and others with a lot of money.

In contrary to nasal and chewing tobacco, snus could easily be manufactured by farmers and workers. Combined with the fact that snus was much cheaper than other forms of tobacco made snus an instant hit in the working communities. This working mans mark attached itself to snus for a very long time. It wasn’t until the end of the 1960’s that snus reached out to a wider audience and then the proletarian stigma slowly faded away. When this happened a lot of more brands were manufactured and this attracted new users. Today snus is enjoyed all over the world, but not long ago snus was only found in Sweden.

More and more people outside of Sweden have discovered snus and the benefits of using it. A lot of people that have used cigarettes and chewing tobacco have given that up and started to use snus instead. Take a look at this section to find out more about that. When snus became accepted by a wider spectrum of people a lot of new brands were manufactured. But other kinds of accessories were also produced.
