How to Use Snus Properly

Using Portion Snus (Pouches)

1. Take one pouch from the can
2. Place it between your upper lip and gum (left or right side)
3. Leave it for 15-60 minutes (longer = stronger nicotine release)
4. Remove and discard when flavor fades or nicotine satisfaction is reached

Using Loose Snus

1. Wash hands thoroughly
2. Pinch a small amount (about 1-2 grams)
3. Shape into a compact ball or "prilla"
4. Press it under your upper lip with your finger
5. Expect more flavor release (and more saliva) than pouches

Key Tips

• No spitting needed: Unlike chewing tobacco, you can swallow saliva
• Start small: Use smaller portions if new to snus
• Rotate sides: Alternate placement to avoid gum irritation
• Storage: Refrigerate after opening for best freshness

What to Expect

• Nicotine buzz begins in 5-15 minutes
• Pouches are cleaner and more discreet
• Loose snus offers stronger flavor but requires practice
• Possible tingling/burning sensation at first (normal)

Beginner Advice

• Choose portioned snus for easier use
• Start with regular strength (8-12mg/g)
• Limit to 30 minutes per portion initially
• Drink water to manage any nausea
