There has been a growth in the market for many things, others gained more visibility during this pandemic but already existed centuries before, such as Snus.
The smokeless tobacco (ST) sold in Norway is an unfermented, moist tobacco product, known as snus.
Snus use started to increase after 1990, first among young men, and from 2005 among young women. In 2017, 25% of young men and 14% of young women used snus daily. Smoking rates in Norway have declined steeply since the millennium: young men and women using both products – most often use snus daily and cigarettes occasionally.
Snus is an oral smokeless tobacco product that is usually placed behind the upper lip, either in a loose form or in portioned sachets and is primarily used in Sweden and Norway. Snus is distinctly different from other oral tobacco products due to the unique manufacturing process involved. Loose snus looks the same today as it did 200 years ago and is still the basis of Swedish snus tradition.
