Why the upper lip is the best place for your Nicotine Pouch

If you’ve read practically any of our product descriptions about portion snus or nicotine pouches, then you’ve likely come across the term “upper lip” more than once.  

Indeed, where you place your snus can play a very important role in your snus experience and can really affect whether you are getting the most out of your snus and whether you enjoy the experience or not.

This is why we recommend that you find a comfortable position to place your snus portion or nicotine pouch, and especially your loose snus, under your upper lip. 

If you’ve ever tried otherwise, then you can probably write this article yourself and don’t need an explanation, but if you’ve never done so (hopefully, because it’s not a good thing), you need some convincing so that when the thought creeps up, you “shew” it away, and for good reason!

Benefits of placing your pouch under the upper lip

Placing your snus under your upper lip is not just a random decision, it actually affects how effective and even how enjoyable your snus experience will be. 

By placing your snus or nicotine pouch under your upper lip will result in the following:

• Less drip: Your lower lip is an area that can provoke the secretion of saliva by your salivary glands as opposed to your upper lip. Since the salivary glands are not “tickled” when you place the pouch, or even the loose snus, under your upper lip, there  is no excess moisture and therefore no extra juices flowing to the back of the mouth which can cause a sore throat and in some extreme cases, nausea from swallowing too much tobacco/nicotine juice.

• Comfort and Discretion: Your upper lip has a more distinct groove that can better accommodate your snus portion or nicotine pouch and keep it from sliding around in your mouth and even accidentally swallowing it. This deeper indentation in your upper jaw will also keep your snus pouch from bulging especially with a large portion.

• Optimized nicotine release:  Since your portion will be placed in an area that does not provoke the production of saliva, the pouch will get just enough moisture from the ingredients inside it ( if it’s moisturized) or from the moisture in your mouth (if it’s a dry pouch) to release the nicotine and flavor at an optimal pace extending the nicotine kicks and the flavor beyond the half hour mark, all the while allowing you to go about your day without a bother.  Maximum nicotine effect and a flavor that lasts.

Why are other forms of smokeless tobacco placed under the lower lip?

Let’s start by understanding that snus is not the same as chewing tobacco or American dipping tobacco, typically called snuff.

These two forms of American smokeless tobacco are also placed in the mouth, just like snus.  However, unlike snus and snuff (essentially the American term for snus) which is finely cut or ground to a powder, chewing tobacco consists of a mix of loose tobacco leaves.  This stuff is either held in place or chewed and the juice that is created from the mix of saliva and tobacco can either be spit out or swallowed.  

Either way, it is customary to place the dip under the lower lip resulting in the tobacco moving around and far more juices being created.  Snus rarely causes the same “side effects” as dipping tobacco, like nausea and hiccups, since there is far less swallowing going on with snus.  

As opposed to dip, other than placing the snus portion in your mouth, there is nothing else to “do” with snus.  Once it’s there, you can just forget about it and just enjoy its effects. 

Why you should alternate where you place your nicotine pouch/snus

Despite placing your snus portion under your upper lip for optimal effect and enjoyment and the least hassle, there is something else about where you chose to place your portion that you should consider:

• Gum irritation
• Sore mouth

Dry portions: If you prefer dry portions because of the slow and efficient release of flavor and nicotine, you should always alternate where under your upper lip you place your portion so as to avoid chafing from the dry fibers in the pouch.

Moisturized portions: Moisturized portions hold more moisture inside of them, either moisturized tobacco or a higher moisture content in nicotine pouches. The nicotine and flavor are released quickly with these portions and can cause a sore from the overexposure to the burning sensation of nicotine in the same place. 

Alternating where you place your portion every time, for example, on the left side or on the right side, further back or more towards the front of your mouth, will help you avoid these discomforts and make your experience an enjoyable one from start to finish.

Our advice at Snusline is to always place your nicotine pouch or snus under your upper lip so as to maximize protection to your gums and throat.  If you’ve experienced these types of issues, then finding a product that is suitable for you and your needs is even more important.  

Snusline offers a wide array of nicotine pouches and snus alike, in a wide range of flavors and strengths, so you can be sure to ultimately find the ones you’ll love from our collection of snus/nicotine pouches brands and products.

A look at 2022

2022 has been quite a year for us at Snusline.  Changing market trends and the challenges we have faced regarding customs related issues have urged us to add more nicotine pouches and stronger nicotine products to our product line.  Indeed, we’ve added tons of new products and even removed some we felt you weren’t crazy about. Our catalog now includes over 500 products in stock and includes many different brands of portion snus, loose snus and nicotine pouches alike.  

Top sellers of 2022 – Snus and Nicotine Pouches

Let’s take a look at 2022’s most popular products.  Based on information gathered from our top sellers in 2022, Snusline’s top ten have really shown us that Snusline customers are in line with current market trends:

The mint flavor segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 38% in 2021. The availability of mint-flavored snus may make it easier for consumers to use the product because they find its odor, flavor, pleasantness, and intensity to be more appealing.

It seems Snusline customers agree with this statement since our top 10 are all mint flavored snus and nicotine pouches, with one exception; gotta keep some classical tasting snus for those tobacco lovers!

2022 Snusline’s Top 10: 

• Siberia White Dry Extremely Strong Portion
• Siberia White Dry Slim Extremely Strong Portion
• Odens Cold Extreme White Dry Portion
• Siberia Ice Cold White Strong Portion
• Velo Freeze X-Strong Slim Nicotine Pouches
• Velo Ice Cool Strong Slim Nicotine Pouches
• Siberia White Dry Extremely Strong Mini Portion
• Pablo X Ice Cold Nicotine Pouches
• General Extra Strong Classic Portion Snus
• White Fox Slim Double Mint All White Portion

Welcoming 2023 – New Trends in Nicotine Pouches/Flavors 

Although we can barely refer to nicotine pouches as snus, since they lack the one ingredient that makes snus “snus”, nicotine pouches are the same as snus in every other way: they contain nicotine and are a smokeless tobacco product that is consumed in ready-to-use pouches that you place between your lip and gums.  

Modern innovation and technology have allowed the nicotine pouch world to explode with new enticing flavors that are much more appealing to the younger crowd.  A bunch of new nicotine pouches have fruity sweet flavors like mango, strawberry, forest fruits, and many more …

And for those who want explosive strength and lip numbing icy cool mint flavors, Siberia has developed a new all-white nicotine pouch boasting 33 mg/g of nicotine strength in three formats: large, slim and super slim for every consumer preference.

At Snusline, we’re always on the lookout for emerging trends so we can bring you the best products at the best prices.

Snus Market Trends

The snus market continues to rise at a rate of 4.3% since 2021.  This trend is rising steadily and is expected to reach $4.1 billion dollars by 2030 in the US alone according to Yahoo!Finance. According to imarcgroup, “The global snus market size reached US$ 2.9 Billion in 2022” and is expected to rise at a rate of “4.92% during 2023-2028.”  As a matter of fact, the Big Four have already made the transition to snus and nicotine pouches, as the future of nicotine products:

• BAT (British American Tobacco) have developed LYFT and VELO nicotine pouches 
• Imperial Tobacco bought Skruf and Knox snus and later developed Skruf Super White as an all-white nicotine pouch.
• JPI (Japan Tobacco International) developed Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches
• Altria (Previously Philip Morris Companies) acquired both Swedish Match (Zyn and General) and AG snus

“In the US, BAT continues to hold by far the greatest share of the snus market (around 80%) after taking over Reynolds in 2017. Swedish Match has around 10%, Altria 6%”

GN Tobacco is not part of the big four since its production is limited to Swedish tobacco, namely snus and more recently, nicotine pouches. As stated on their website, “GN Tobacco produces and distributes snus chewing tobacco, and nicotine pouches to more than 70 countries in the World.”  Needless to say, GN Tobacco manufactures some of the most popular and best quality snus and nicotine pouches in terms of flavor, strength and affordability; it’s no wonder 6 out of our top 10 sellers are made by this outstanding manufacturer.  Indeed, Oden’s, Siberia and White Fox are all developed and made by GN Tobacco in their top manufacturing facilities with great emphasis on quality.

COVID-19 and Snus

The covid pandemic has really affected the snus and nicotine pouch market growth trend.  Smoking, and even vaping, has taken the back seat compared to nicotine pouches and snus.  

For tobacco lovers, snus is the way to go and nicotine pouches will never satisfy someone who is not willing or ready to give up their tobacco. 

In terms of practicality, both snus and nicotine pouches are exactly the same; they can both be taken anywhere, anytime and can easily be disposed of without affecting your surroundings.  

Indeed, when it comes to discretion, snus and nicotine pouches are the best smokeless tobacco and tobacco-free nicotine alternative.  In addition, snus and nicotine pouches fail in comparison to the health hazards of smoking and the adverse effects of secondhand smoke, making them increasingly popular with older and younger nicotine users alike.  

It’s a Wrap

Some of the newer products we’ve added in the last year came as a result of customer requests and some were out of our own initiative, based on new products that became available.

With Cyber Monday right around the corner, we thought it would be nice to explore the topic of gaming.  

What Makes a Great Gamer?

There are many qualities that make people great gamers.  Intelligence is one of those characteristics along with creativity, curiosity and problem-solving skills.  However, there is something that can increase the chances of long term success in gaming and that is listening to your body.  

Since gaming is a skill that requires mental alertness and sharpness, which all start in your brain, there are a few things you need to make sure you are doing, so you don’t sabotage yourself and your game.  Just like in survival games, you need to make sure you’re taking care of your health in real life to survive and thrive in your game.

Successful gaming is healthy gaming.  Making sure you are taking care of your body’s needs while gaming will help you play a better game and help you sustain the sometimes long hours needed to complete it.  

Science has shown that playing videogames can make you less aware of your bodily functions.  You can actually get dehydrated because you don’t feel thirsty or forget to eat when you’re so caught up in a game and can’t stop playing.  Some games can take hours and you may not even feel tired; your body can be so aroused by the game making you become unaware of your fatigue.

Before you become unaware, take steps while you are aware.

  

Tips to Help You Play Better  

Before you take a seat in your gaming chair, make sure you’ve done these 3 things (to prevent any fatigue, thirst or hunger)

• Use the bathroom:  There’s nothing like needing to go when you’re in the thick of your game.  

• Have a water bottle handy: Water is the best thirst quencher and will keep your body hydrated without the extra calories you would get from sodas and energy drinks. 
• Have some easy ready-to-eat snacks handy: these will give you the energy you need to keep going.  Choose multi-grain snacks with complex carbohydrates rather than potato chips and simple carbs that will spike your body’s sugar level and provoke a sugar crash.

As a matter of fact, many gamers like to drink energy drinks while gaming to get the arousing properties of caffeine and sugar into their bloodstreams so they can remain alert especially when gaming late into the night.  

What to Avoid in gaming

The buzz gamers get from energy drinks can be mainly attributable to the large amount of sugar there is in each can of juice.  Energy drinks actually have an average of 14 teaspoons in every can!  Even though you are burning energy while gaming, drinking this stuff can seriously affect your body in a negative way.  

First off, you may feel the effects of a sugar crash, which occurs when your body has a higher intake of sugar than you’re used to, and since energy drinks are so high in sugar, if you keep drinking this stuff while gaming you are putting yourself at risk of feeling hungry, irritable and fatigued, all things that can be seriously devastating to your game.  

Actually, you can even feel sick and have headaches and nausea, shakiness and dizziness.  Sweet drinks like energy drinks can also make you gain weight, even if you’re not eating a ton.  The reason is that sugar actually turns to fat when the energy it provides is not being consumed right away, and as much as it may feel like you’re burning a ton of energy while gaming, that is not entirely true.

Gaming and Snus

You’ll be happy to hear that nicotine pouches and snus can actually help you stay alert, focused and have the adrenaline and energy you need without having to leave your gaming station. 

Gaming and nicotine have similar effects on the brain.  They both cause an increase in dopamine levels in the brain and can help you relax and unwind after a stressful day at school or at work.   Gaming as well as nicotine can arouse alertness and stimulate mental sharpness.

If you’re a smoker, taking snus or nicotine pouches while gaming is easy and requires almost no effort on your part other than popping the portion under your lip.  Unlike smoking, there is no need to light up and you can keep both your hands free to handle your joystick and even drink while you snus. 

By using snus instead of smoking, you get the jolt of energy and focus you need by getting your nicotine fix all the while also staying hydrated.  If you prefer having something flavorful like an energy drink, you’ll be happy to know that there are nicotine pouches flavored with energy drink flavor and many other flavorful alternatives to the sugary drink.  

Nicotine pouches come in many different flavors and strengths and although they taste great, unlike energy drinks, they are calorie free since they are sweetened with artificial sweeteners and contain no sugar at all. 

Killa 13 All White is one such nicotine pouch.  It has an energy drink flavor similar to “Red Bull” and will give you an extremely strong and long lasting nicotine kick, thanks to its white portion and high nicotine content.

Snus and nicotine pouches can not only up your game by giving you what you need to sustain it, but can also help you relax afterwards.  Just like a cigarette, snus and nicotine pouches can have the desired effect at different times of the day and taking a snus after a long stretch of gaming can really help you unwind and relax.

If you’re not already snusing while gaming, now is the time to give it a try and see what you’ve been missing.  You can also take advantage of some great deals on snus and nicotine pouches with Snusline’s Cyber Monday Mega Sale!

Black Friday Snus is right around the corner and everyone is gearing up for the sales event of the year.  Brick-and-mortar retail shops as well as their online counterparts are loaded with crazy sales.  Shoppers are awaiting this day with great anticipation so they can grab the best deals on tons of stuff, from clothing to small kitchen appliances and everything in between.  Even snus is on the menu!

What is Black Friday in History?

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was once an American event. Then, Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, joined in 2010. They spread knowledge about this event globally.

Why is it termed historical? Before being a major sales day, Black Friday had a different meaning. It was seen negatively.

The term started in the early 1950s. Philadelphia police used the term “Black Friday”. It described the post-Thanksgiving chaos. Many suburban tourists came to the city. They shopped and watched the Army-Navy football game. Rajeev Nar from RVS Media explained this.

Black Friday has other meanings too. But Amazon changed its perception. They allowed shoppers to access huge sales online on that day.

Now, Black Friday is the top shopping day. It’s no longer dreaded. People now eagerly await it.

Black Friday – Not Only A Mall Thing Anymore

In the past, people would be able to take advantage of Black Friday deals only in the US and only by going to physical locations such as shopping malls.

News channels would send their anchor people to catch a glimpse of the action as shoppers would be lining up and waiting for the doors to open, so they could run in and grab whatever deals they can get their hands on.

Black Friday is the official holiday shopping season opener with the biggest brands setting their best sales on that day.

Black Friday sales are normally big ticket items like TVs, iPhones and other expensive appliances or electronics.

Smart shoppers tend to wait it out until Black Friday comes around to get the best deals on the big stuff, and it really pays off!

Smaller ticket items however tend to get their prices knocked off on the Monday following Black Friday called Cyber Monday, a day where online shops exclusively play copycat to brick-and-mortar retail shops’ Black Friday.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar – Snus and Nicotine Pouches 

If you’re planning a trip to Qatar for the FIFA games and you are a snus consumers, you should read this article and be prepared for a few surprises.

Qatar is located in the middle east and is recognized for its ultra modern skyscrapers, beautiful sandy beaches and arid desert. 

Despite its modern architecture, Qatar is an Islamic state, with many restrictions compared to western countries, where many football fans will be flocking from, to watch the 2022 World Cup tournament. 

So why was Qatar picked in 2010 to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup games?  

Well, the reason FIFA gave for this decision was that hosting the games in Qatar is an opportunity to take this world-renowned tournament to uncharted territory, to discover a new part of the world.  Indeed, Qatar is full of discoveries, one of which is the Islamic country’s ban on the following items:

• Sex Toys & Porn – Confiscated upon entry and possible prison term of 6 months to 3 years if caught using.
• Alcohol – Confiscated upon entry and possibility of imprisonment if caught using.
• Vapes/E-cigarettes – confiscated if caught upon entry.
• HTP (Heated Tobacco Products)
• Pork – confiscated if caught upon entry.
• Skimpy Clothing – confiscated if caught upon entry. Can be arrested if caught wearing sleeveless/see through tops or other revealing clothing including above the knee trousers)
• Any Religious Books – confiscated if caught upon entry.
• Drugs and OTC medicines including NRT (prescription medicines allowed with a legalized letter from your doctor) – confiscated if caught upon entry.

People crowd from all over the world to gather at the FIFA World Cup games.  Of course, they are all football fans and come to watch the playoffs and competition, with the culmination point being the winner of the World Cup trophy, but they also attend the games for the social piece: shmoozing, partying and the like, in which smoking and drinking play a big role.

As stated by Riot Labs CEO Ben Johnson: “Socialising, alcohol, partying, sex – traditionally some of football fans’ favourite escapades – are all examples of major triggers for smoking tobacco…”

Is Smoking Legal in Qatar?

Smoking is permitted in Qatar with 25% of men being smokers.  As in most countries, smoking is restricted to designated areas and is illegal in public places such as stadiums.  As a result, smoking will also be banned everywhere at the FIFA 2022 games, including outdoors, except in designated outdoor areas around the stadiums.  

Is Vaping Legal in Qatar?

Oddly enough, vaping is illegal in Qatar and completely prohibited meaning: no importing, selling and even using vapes anywhere in this Gulf peninsular country.  

The above list of bans in Qatar will definitely put a damper on many of these activities, especially if fans are unaware of these restrictions upon landing…and many are unaware, especially about the strict vaping prohibition.  

Are Anti-Smoking Laws Enforced in Qatar? 

Nonetheless, FIFA volunteers and security staff have been adequately trained and guided in monitoring the restrictions and on how to deal with any non-compliance on the part of attendees.  

As a matter of fact, Qatar is bringing in law enforcement officers from foreign countries to aid in implementing the anti-smoking and other restrictions, including police from Pakistan and Turkey.  Officers from the UK will also be deployed to Qatar in an unprecedented move on behalf of FIFA during any World Cup tournament, since many fans from the UK are expected to attend the FIFA playoffs in support of their respective teams and may need to be educated about the  restrictions on-site.

The Bigger Picture

All of the efforts surrounding the anti-smoking laws at the FIFA World Cup are part of a greater initiative on behalf of a partnership between the WHO and the Qatar Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) whose goal it is to promote a global health initiative through the use of the World Cup venue.  According to the Qatari Minister of Public Health, Hanan Al Kuwari, the FIFA championship is an unprecedented opportunity to educate the public and raise awareness about the importance of sport as a channel to maintaining a healthy body.

Kholoud Ateeq K M Al-Motawaa, head of noncommunicable disease for Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health reinforced this vision by stating that “supporters without tickets can watch games on large screens surrounded by smoke-free air.”

 

So what can vapers bring with them that is legal and safe to use in an airport, onboard an aircraft and anywhere is Qatar?

According to GSTHR (Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction), a website that reports the smoking, vaping, THP, NRT and snus products and laws around the world, “snus and other smokeless tobacco are allowed and sold” in Qatar but may be subject to the same restrictions as smoking tobacco and therefore their use in certain places may be prohibited. 

However, “tobacco-free nicotine pouches are both allowed and marketed, and the GSTHR is not aware of any specific restrictions on their use. But again, for safety reasons, nicotine consumers would be advised to buy pouches locally, or to take only the bare minimum with them for the duration of their trip.”

If you’re not making the trip but will be watching the games from afar, you can rest assured that you can use snus and nicotine pouches wherever, whenever.

The Magic of Football – More Than Just a Game

Snusline is a Snus Shop, the football players are using Snus and Nicotine pouches. If you’re into football then you’ll probably want to know what the connection is between football and snus. Why there are more and more players who consume Snus or Nicotine Pouches, especially the Famous Siberia Red Slim Extremely Strong Snus and players come from UK. We will try to understand and to find the best answer.

The football world is getting ready for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and it’s being felt all over the web and social media channels.  This major sports event is not limited to only football, even though football is what is at the center of it.  Much more is going on at the FIFA games other than just watching a football match and teams playing each other until one team wins The Cup. 

Football, the game where a ball is kicked across a field and ends up in the opponent’s net until one of the teams wins, is more than what meets the eye; more than just a game.  

If you really give it some thought, FIFA World Cup 2022, and the world cup games in general, is a coming together of no less than 32 nations uniting with one common goal, their love for sport, and more specifically, football; a sport that started out 150 years ago in England and has crossed borders and continents to reach almost every country across the globe. 

The Global Expansion of Football

It can easily be said about football that it’s the only sport in the world that attracts such a wide and diverse audience, universally and across all age groups, religions and nationalities.  This global expansion of football is what drives the FIFA World Cup and justifies the fanfare and month-long festivities surrounding the game. 

FIFA – A Unique Atmosphere 

Aside from the actual sport and team competition with the culmination of the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner,  lots more is going on in Qatar around the FIFA games.  There is also the FIFA Trophy Tour and the FIFA Fan Festival.  

As stated on the official FIFA website: 

“The FIFA Fan Festival is the perfect place to watch FIFA World Cup™ and FIFA Women’s World Cup™ matches live in a buzzing atmosphere, while also enjoying an exciting football and entertainment programme.”

“The FIFA Fan Festival is the central destination where fans from all over the world meet to share their emotions and celebrate the unique atmosphere of the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women’s World Cup. It is an event for every fan – from avid or casual football enthusiasts to lovers of music, food and culture!

Fans from all over the world can look forward to 29 days of football, music, culture and lifestyle – a true festival of football!”

There is therefore a whole culture of football driving the FIFA experience and as many people start crowding to Qatar to live it in all its glory, one question comes to mind:  

What is it about football that makes the crowds roar and takes the simplicity of the game to an almost religious fanaticism?  

As stated in Wikipedia:  “ In many countries, football has ingrained itself into the national culture, and parts of life may revolve around it.

To understand what this is all about, just take a look at how much money and time went into planning, developing and organizing what is about to become the biggest venue of 2022;  

As described on BBC News.com: 

“Qatar has built seven stadiums for the World Cup finals as well as a new airport, metro system, series of roads and about 100 new hotels. An entire city has been constructed around the stadium which will host the final match.

Money and Football

This is also surely the reason why a top football player can earn over $100,000,000 per year, including expensive endorsement deals from top sportswear brands.  Such an example is Cristiano Ronaldo, the top football player for Manchester United.  Ronaldo earns $55 million annually for a lifetime in an endorsement deal for Nike, making him the second “most valuable Athlete(s) With <a “rel=”nofollow” href=”https://www.totalsportal.com/money/athletes-with-expensive-endorsement-deals/”>Expensive Endorsement Deals in Sports history.  Another football player, Lionel Messi, comes in fifth place with $37 million in his sponsorship with Adidas.

As Justin Birnbaum states in Forbes, “When Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi each crossed $100 million in total annual earnings for the first time in 2018, both were in their 30s, at the respective heights of their careers. Kylian Mbappé (23) […] will earn $128 million for the 2022-23 season […] the world’s highest-paid soccer player that lands him the No. 1 spot.

Football, Sports and Snus 

You can be sure if we were living somewhere between the 50s and late 70s, we would have some of these athletes possibly endorsing tobacco products.  

You may think that statement is a little far fetched, but if the health hazards associated with smoking hadn’t changed the face of the tobacco industry due to anti-smoking laws and tobacco legislation, than smokeless tobacco such as nicotine pouches and snus would probably be on the list of sponsorships for top athletes across the board, and especially in sports requiring high levels of stamina, such as extreme winter sports, football and hockey. 

Actually, these smoke-free tobacco/nicotine alternatives can provide the effects of nicotine without bearing the harmful effects of smoking.  Side effects of nicotine intake such as   “increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart…” can all be beneficial to athletes requiring that extra kick their stamina into high gear. 

Is Snus Administration Doping?

Everyone knows that doping is banned by WADA and can disqualify any athlete in any competition, however nicotine is the exception to the rule.  In addition, nicotine can be administered orally before, during and after a game and none would be the wiser.  

Actually, snus and nicotine pouches can be slipped discretely between the upper lip and gums and give the athlete the kick they need within seconds, due in part  to the higher levels of dopamine released in the brain. 

It can also help rid athletes of anxiety prior to a game, allowing them to focus on their game and indirectly improve their performance.

Athletes have also been known to take snus (with tobacco or tobacco-free, aka nicotine pouches) after a game to unwind and relax.  Quite a few athletes can attest to the many positive impacts of snus/nicotine pouches, such as improved mood and weight control amongst others. 

The latter has been witnessed by many athletes, yet no one really shouts it off the rooftops since this topic is still quite controversial in the sportsworld. However, some footballers have been caught “on tape” with a can of snus in hand or what seems like slipping a snus portion/nicotine  under their lip.  Actually, Kylian Mbappé can be seen placing a pouch of snus under his upper lip on December 7, 2021 on Canal +, a French television channel.  

So there you have it.  Whether we see more athletes using snus openly in the future of FIFA depends only on how accepting football culture will become and if we are ever able to rid the sportsworld of the stigma surrounding nicotine administration in sports.

What is an E-Cigarette? 

Well before nicotine pouches entered the market as a nicotine delivery system, e-cigarettes had already become the most commonly used medium for nicotine consumption. 

The original e-cigarette looked like a tobacco cigarette but its appearance has since changed, as has its mechanical and chemical composition.  

E-cigarettes are also called vaping devices since vapor is exhaled, instead of smoke, unlike cigarettes.  

The modern e-cigarette or vape came about as an attempt to create an alternative to smoking cigarettes and as a means to quit smoking.  

How Does Vaping Compare to Smoking?

As we’ve all known for quite some time now, cigarettes are really bad for our health.  The smoke we inhale and the smoke we exhale contains tons of toxic substances, varying from carbon monoxide to tar and cyanide, all of which are potentially cancer-causing or even known carcinogens. 

Vaping on the other hand exposes the user to far less harmful chemicals than smoking. However, research has shown that vaping increases the risk of asthma by 40% and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a group of diseases that cause restricted air flow to the lungs and a variety of breathing problems, by 50%, compared to not using nicotine at all.

An Introduction to Nicotine Pouches

Snus has been used since the 20th century in some European countries and has its origins in Sweden. Before the modern era and the creation of portion pouches, snus could only be found in loose form, yet industrialization has allowed packing the snus into fabric-like pouches made of natural plant resins for ready-to-use portions. Nicotine Pouches have adopted this technique and therefore can also be referred to as tobacco-free snus.

Why Should I Choose Nicotine Pouches?

Nicotine pouches are a smoke free (and vapor free) medium to nicotine use and, contrary to snus, they are completely free of tobacco.  The main advantage that nicotine pouches present is that they do not affect the respiratory system in any way.  This is something very important to consider since one of the most serious adverse health effects of both smoking and vaping is lung disease.

The whole controversy around vape is based on the argument that vape is hazardous to lung health and therefore should not and cannot really be presented and thought of as an alternative to smoking.

As a general rule though, vaping is much safer than smoking. 

The use of nicotine pouches, as opposed to smoking and vaping, does not involve heating nicotine, but simply involves placing the pouch, filled with nicotine and other fillers such as gum base and plant-based cellulose, into your mouth between your lip and gums.  

Nicotine pouches therefore do not negatively affect lung health like vaping can.  If we had to compare, nicotine pouches are probably the safest means to attain nicotine satisfaction that can also be considered recreational, like smoking or vaping.

Just like vaping, nicotine pouches come in a variety of flavors so you don’t have to give up the flavorful experience; and just like vape, they are calorie-free. 

Nicotine pouches also come in different sizes and different strengths depending on your needs and preference.

Another advantage that nicotine pouches have over vape is their ease of use, any time, any place.  They fit so discreetly, no one will even know you’re using them.

Nicotine Pouches to Quit Smoking – Once and for All

If you’re reading this article then you‘ve been trying, or at least have thought of trying, to quit smoking. 

You may have already attempted a bunch of different things like pharmaceutical nicotine gum and/or patches, self-help materials, community programs or one-one-counseling. 

You’ve maybe even tried motivational lectures while driving or done some crazy stuff like hypnosis or electric shock therapy, out of desperation!  

You may be thinking that if all that stuff hasn’t worked, nothing will.

With Nicotine Pouches You Can Do It!

Although every attempt so far has been unsuccessful, don’t give up!  There is another way that can help you reach your goal.  

The problem with all those other alternative smoking cessation tools and techniques is that they don’t work for everyone and sometimes only work in the short term but don’t really stick.   

The thing is that, other than developing an addiction to nicotine, we actually form a relationship with our cigarettes that we don’t really want to break.  

Smoking is enjoyable to so many people, not only because of the way nicotine makes us feel but also, because we may actually love the smell and taste of tobacco, and even the feeling of holding a cigarette between our fingers, and having it in our mouth.  

Smoking: More than just Nicotine Addiction 

A real smoker can associate almost all their daily activities, if not all, with having a smoke: waking up, working, unwinding, taking a break, and even using the bathroom…just to name a few.

Smoking a cigarette acts in a similar way to drinking a cup of coffee: it can have an exciting effect or a relaxing effect, depending on the time of day. 

Some of us like to wake up with a cigarette and also end our day with one, and even have one when we take a well-needed break in the middle of a busy day or need to relieve some stress.

Smoking for Fun

Smoking is not only something most smokers enjoy doing alone, but for many, it’s a recreational activity that can be enjoyed around a nice meal with friends or just hanging out at a bar.

As a smoker or as someone who’s tried to quit once, or many times, you know how hard quitting can be.  

So, how can you make quitting smoking easier and actually be successful at it?  

Well, the first thing you need to ask yourself is whether you want to quit nicotine altogether or just quit smoking.

Smoking – Why Quit?

As you know, smoking involves lighting up and actually burning the contents of a cigarette and inhaling the smoke into your lungs. 

Just like the oxygen you breathe, nicotine gets into your bloodstream mostly through your lungs.  

Smoking a Lethal Cocktail

However, you’re not just getting nicotine into your body when you smoke; you’re bringing a smoky cocktail of nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, among 70 other toxic cancer-causing chemicals into your lungs, with each and every puff.  

For more details about what’s in cigarette smoke, or if you’re interested in learning more about smoking and its adverse health implications, click on the following link: What’s in cigarette smoke? 

The negative health effects of smoking and second-hand smoke have been known for quite some time now, leading most governments throughout the world to take appropriate action and ban smoking in all enclosed public places including, and not limited to, bars, restaurants, casinos, discotheques, workplaces and public transport.

Smoking Addiction vs. Nicotine Addiction

It is a known fact that what makes smoking addictive is the nicotine dependence, however, dependency without harm cannot be described as an addiction.  

Addiction is harmful, dependence is not. 

So essentially, once smokers, who are addicted to cigarettes, stop smoking but continue to use nicotine in other forms, the whole “addiction” talk goes out the window.  

Yes, nicotine causes several biological responses such as “increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart…” that can be described as side-effects, but even those are sometimes beneficial depending on the motive.  

For example, many athletes specifically use smokeless tobacco or tobacco-free nicotine pouches to get the stamina that nicotine produces without dealing with the harmful health effects of smoking.

Smoking Addiction

In fact, the reason why smoking is bad for us, is essentially because of the by-products produced by burning and inhaling tobacco.  Just take a look at how a cigarette is engineered and you’ll understand that it is “the design, and content of cigarettes [that] continue to make them attractive, addictive, and deadly”.

Nicotine Addiction

As described above, smoking leads to terrible health effects but what about the effects of nicotine ?   

You may be surprised to learn that nicotine is not only found in tobacco, but also in other plants and vegetables for example: tomatoes, eggplant (aubergine) and potatoes, also called nightshades, although in very small amounts.  

We even have nicotine receptors in our brain!

Effects of Nicotine on the Brain

• Behavioral effects (not completely clear how they are produced)
• Feeling of pleasure/Reward (increased dopamine)
• Enhanced cognition /Attention (increased acetylcholine) 
• Stimulation/Arousal (Increased norepinephrine)

Some people can actually benefit from the effects of nicotine although there may be some form of dependence associated with it.  Actually, clinical studies have shown that nicotine offers some degree of neuroprotection and “could help protect the brain as it ages, and even ward off Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease”.  

Using Snus to Quit Smoking

If you still want to feel the effects of nicotine without bearing the harmful effects of smoking, then using snus may be a good solution for you.

Snus can be tobacco-free, called nicotine pouches or nicopods.  If you prefer using tobacco, then traditional snus is the way to go. Or you may actually want to try both.  

The average amount of nicotine in a single cigarette is 12 mg on average, although by the end of smoking a cigarette, you’ve only inhaled about 1-2 mg of nicotine, about 10-20%.

The same applies to snus and nicotine pouches. However, snus and nicotine pouches can last up to an hour compared to a cigarette that can be smoked in about 5 minutes.

Both snus and nicotine pouches are a great way to kick the habit and actually succeed at being smokefree without going through the difficulties of nicotine withdrawal. 

BAT – British American Tobacco claims the following:

“Snus is a heat-treated, finely-ground, moist tobacco sold either loose or in pouches. There is increasing consensus that snus represents substantially lower overall health risks than cigarettes. The findings of a recent study indicates that, for some smokers, switching to snus can be an effective way of quitting smoking (Harm Reduction Journal, 2012, 9:10).”

Swedish Snus vs. Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine pouches, as opposed to traditional Swedish snus, are tobacco-free.  

A few facts you need to know about nicotine pouches:

1. Nicotine pouches are artificially flavored or flavored with essential oils or both and will not taste like tobacco.
2. Nicotine pouches are typically filled with natural resins and all white fibers that will not stain your teeth like tobacco.
3. Nicotine pouches come in a range of strengths from mild nicotine strength to extremely strong nicotine strength. The choice is yours.  You may choose to start with regular strength nicotine pouches in the 10-12 mg/g range if you are a smoker, since this is about the same as the nicotine concentration in a cigarette, and slowly work your way down to lighter concentrations until you wean yourself off completely, slowly and gently.
4. Nicotine pouches will not give you bad breath or make you smell like an ashtray.
5. Nicotine pouches fit discreetly under your lip (between the gums and cheeks) and are not even noticeable to anyone around you.
6. Unlike cigarettes, nicotine pouches can be used everywhere and anywhere with ease and without provoking unwanted attention.
7. Nicotine pouches do not drip like tobacco snus and will last as long as a white portion snus.

If you’re not ready to give up tobacco because you just love the flavor too much, you can also get traditional Swedish snus in loose or portion format, or even get tobacco flavored nicotine pouches.  

Today’s smoke-free tobacco/nicotine alternatives provide you with a wide range of choices that will give you the feeling, flavor and mouthfeel you crave without causing you a serious health risk.

Looking to Have a Little Fun? 

If you’re already into snus, you probably already know how snus makes you feel.  But if you are considering using snus, you’ll be happy to hear that using snus will make you feel good. Crazy? Maybe not …  “So how does it work?”, you ask.  Well, snus is made with tobacco, and tobacco has nicotine, a magical substance that does exactly that: makes you feel good. 

Nicotine actually provokes the release of dopamine into the brain.  Dopamine is a “feel-good” or happy hormone.  Many activities, sights, and smells trigger the release of dopamine in the brain, for example, sex, chocolate, a hard drink, watching a good movie, smelling roses….you name it.  One way to provoke the release of dopamine when you can’t have the other stuff is using snus.  To top it off, using snus in public will not get you arrested, like doing some of that other stuff. 

But seriously, snus is so discrete no one will even know you’re using it.  Many footballers use snus on the field to get a nicotine kick and get their adrenaline going without anyone ever noticing (except photographers who sometimes snap a shot of them with their snus can in hand) 

Actually many sportsmen (and women) use snus to give them the added rush they want, especially in extreme sports where the adrenaline rush is so strong. Some athletes even say that snus can increase performance by enhancing reaction time but that’s a subject for another blog. 

So back to our topic, what can you pair with your favorite snus to make it even more enticing and increase your pleasure?

Snus and Beer

Many people enjoy their cigarette, or snus, with a glass of beer.  The two just work well together and the earthy, smoky taste of tobacco complements the bitter, smooth taste of beer.   Most public places no longer allow smoking in their venues.  So if you used to enjoy a cigarette with your beer, you probably miss it.  There is another way to get the great taste of tobacco paired with the beer you love: Snus.  Snus can be used anytime, any place and the best part is that no one needs to know you have it placed under your lip. You can still enjoy pairing your snus with your favorite beer or start doing so, if you are new to this idea.  

Just like food and drink, it’s a matter of personal taste.  The snus and beer you chose to pair are dependent upon what type of beer you enjoy and what snus you enjoy; some are stronger, some lighter, and some flavored.  In short, there are many possible combinations you can try.

Here are two examples of 2 types of beer you can pair with snus:

IPA Beers :  When asked which beer tastes best, the answer would have to be a matter of taste. 

• West Coast IPA –   If you enjoy the bitter flavor of a West Coast IPA, then pairing it with your snus will only increase the intensity of the flavor.  Your taste buds will enjoy a major flavor party.  Göteborgs Rapé West Coast IPA (Limited Edition) is a WCIPA flavored snus that you can pair with your favorite beer or have on its own.  It adds a strong fruity citrus dimension, more specifically grapefruit, to the mild tobacco taste and mix of floral hints, fresh herbs, and juniper berries.  
• Hazy IPA – If you prefer a milder tasting IPA, choose an East Coast IPA aka. Hazy/New England IPA for a sweeter tasting malt enhanced by fruity, tropical flavors.    

Not only is the flavor combination between tobacco and a good beer very well recognized but there is also a physiological response to drinking alcohol when taking your snus.  

Why Take Snus with Alcohol?

One of the chemical reactions that occur when coupling drinking and snus are the dual effects of nicotine and alcohol.  At first, the two work together as stimulants.  As mentioned before, nicotine releases the pleasure hormone dopamine, in the brain.  Alcohol has the same effect.  They can both provoke an increase in heart palpitations and blood pressure, and result in a jolt of energy.  

Alcohol and snus taken together can be extremely pleasurable.  However, the depressant effects of alcohol can be felt when drinking even more alcohol.   That’s when the sedative effects of alcohol set in and cause a feeling of calm and relaxation.   

Counteracting the Adverse Effects of Alcohol 

Another good reason to take alcohol together with snus is to counteract the adverse effects of alcohol such as cognitive impairment and drowsiness.  

Research has shown that nicotine and alcohol interact in such a way that these adverse effects are alleviated when they are taken together.  

Both nicotine and alcohol can be used as recreational drugs since they both are mood-altering and pleasure-inducing, and the combination of the two can actually increase the rewards.

Drinking alcohol and using snus together will first give you a euphoric stimulating burst of energy as the nicotine is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and increases your heart rate.  This in turn will cause the alcohol in your system to be absorbed faster and you will feel the pleasure come on instantly.

If you increase your alcohol intake, the second effect you will feel is the relaxing, sedating effect of the alcohol, without the adverse side effects thanks to the curbing effects of the nicotine.

Snus and Coffee 

Who doesn’t enjoy the delicious taste of a fresh cup of brew with a good snus in the morning? 

If you’re not already into snus and coffee, give it a try! 

Coffee resembles a good snus.  It can be bold, dark, and rich tasting, or it can be mellow and have a light and smooth flavor.  Just like snus!

Similarly, the effects of caffeine and nicotine are alike, and taking both together can also result in a strong energy boost.   Both combinations increase the pleasurable effects of the other, similarly to snus and alcohol, but in a different way.

Coffee can make you feel more alert and ready to tackle your day, just like snus would, and it can also have a mellowing effect and help you relax,  with a good cup of warm, smooth deliciousness at the end of your day or when you just need a break.

Choose your coffee and your snus depending on the effect you are looking for.  One thing is for sure, if you love coffee and you love snus, you will love the taste combination of these two nutty, earthy, and bold goodies nature has created.  

Other Drinks that Pair Well with Snus

If you are not a beer or coffee drinker, or you’re just interested in pairing a soft drink  with your snus, then you’ll be happy to hear that snus tastes equally great with all kinds of non-alcoholic beverages.  Here are some examples of drinks you may like to try with your snus.  Again, it’s really a matter of taste.

• Energy drinks: These usually have a sweet fruity flavor.  The sweetness is upfront in the flavor profile of these popular beverages.  Typically artificially flavored and taste like a mix of berries or other sweet-tart fruits like pineapple and lime.  The caffeine in these drinks is normally higher than what you’ll get from a regular coffee and will give you that extra buzz you’re looking for.
• Soft Drinks: Cola and other ginger, lemon, or lime flavored drinks that also have caffeine or are caffeine-free.
• Virgin cocktails: Any cocktails with a lime, tropical fruit, coconut, pineapple or other fruity base can be made without alcohol and can also pair up great with snus.

So there you have it.  Whether you enjoy coffee, beer or any other alcoholic beverage, or just want something sweet and soft, try it with snus and take your pleasure to another level.  Feel the tantalizing tingle in your taste buds and let the dopamine flood your brain , and just have a good time! 

If you are reading this article, then you surely want to try snus but aren’t sure how to go about it.  You’re probably asking yourself what snus you should choose, how to use it, how much of it, and how often.

If you are asking yourself all these questions then this guide is sure to help you figure out all you need to know before taking snus for the first time.

Read on to make your first snus experience a success!

Different Types of Snus

First and foremost, it is important to distinguish between 2 categories of snus:

• Traditional Swedish snus: Made with tobacco and in some cases nicotine additives.
• Nicotine Pouches: Tobacco-free pouches filled with natural resins such as cellulose and nicotine salts, flavorings, and other ingredients.

Snus is often flavored with mint or licorice but nonetheless, always has a strong tobacco taste since the main ingredient is ground tobacco.  Also, the color of snus is brown, just like dried tobacco leaves, and it, therefore, has a distinct tobacco smell.

Nicotine pouches do not contain any tobacco at all and taste like the flavorings that are added to the natural fibers in the pouch.  In addition, their color is white and not brown like tobacco, due to their white-colored fillers.

Does All Snus Come in Portions?

Today’s snus is mostly available in portion pouches that are prefabricated by the manufacturer and are ready to use.  However, before the creation of the snus pouch in the modern era, snus was only available in loose form and had to be formed into a ball by hand.

However, connoisseurs of snus still enjoy their traditional loose snus and the most popular snus brands still offer loose snus varieties of some of their products.

If you are discovering snus for the first time, my advice to you is to go with ready-made portions rather than loose.

Portions are available in many different formats or sizes:

• Large (aka regular): This is the largest portion size containing up to 1.1 g of snus per portion.
• Slim: Slim portions are longer and more narrow than regular-size portions. They have a more comfortable fit and are less discernable that their large counterpart. They often also weigh slightly less than large portions do, with the heaviest slim portion weighing 0.9g.
• Mini: The smallest portion weighing between 0.3 and 0.5g per portion.

When buying snus, whether traditional Swedish snus or nicotine pouches, it is important to know just how much nicotine you’re really getting in a hit.

Manufacturers advertise the nicotine concentration of their products as “mg/g”.

It is therefore important to know how much a portion weighs to be able to know how much nicotine you’ve really absorbed in a single hit.

For Example, if a snus portion weighs 0.9g and has a nicotine strength of 10 mg/g, then it is weaker than a snus than weighs 1.1g and has the same nicotine concentration of 10mg/g.

With the first portion, you are really only getting 9mg of nicotine as opposed to 11mg of nicotine in the second portion.

Why Should I use Snus or Nicotine Pouches?

There are many reasons that can motivate someone to use snus.

Smoking Cessation

If you are a smoker and would like to quit, snus can be the way to go.

Cigarette smoke contains more than 20 toxic substances and additives in addition to nicotine.  When you smoke you inhale burnt tobacco in addition to tar and other substances that can cause severe lung damage.

Snus is much less dangerous for your health than cigarette smoke and will not affect your lungs at all.  It is possible to get your nicotine dose with snus and get rid of your smoking habit.

You’re an Athlete

Being an athlete requires stamina but it also requires good lung health.  We all know that smoking can, in the least, cause shortness of breath and affect your performance.

If you play sports and want the kick you can get from nicotine but do not want to smoke, snus is the way to go.  Unlike cigarettes, snus will not hinder your physical performance and can be used any place any time.

You’ve Never Used Nicotine but Want to Try Snus

If you’re curious about snus, have friends who use it, or simply want to have a new experience, why not try snus?

This guide has been created with you in mind.  The effects you will feel as a first-time user of both nicotine and snus will be stronger than for those who have already grown accustomed to nicotine by way of smoking cigarettes or vaping.

Based on your first experience, you will either decide to continue using snus or never touch it again, depending on whether you enjoyed it or not.

The Effects of Snus and Nicotine Pouches

The nicotine in both cigarettes and electronic cigarettes aka vape is absorbed into the bloodstream by way of inhalation.

The concentration of nicotine in cigarettes is derived from a natural source, as opposed to vape where the nicotine concentration is controlled, and therefore varies from 7 – 14mg/g of tobacco.

When smoking or vaping, the nicotine is first inhaled into the lungs.  The air and nicotine that enter the lungs are then absorbed into the bloodstream.  Snus or nicotine pouches are not inhaled but rather placed in the mouth, between the lips and the gums.  The process by which the nicotine reaches the bloodstream is therefore very different.  The lungs are not at all involved in this process; the nicotine is directly absorbed into the blood through the gums.

You are a nicotine consumer

Are you a smoker or vaper and would like to try snus?

If you take the proper precautions and learn to use snus properly, you can have a very pleasant snus experience.

Since your body is already used to the effects of nicotine, the only thing you may have to get used to would be the stinging and slight burning sensation on the gums and in the throat.

Depending on the type of snus portion you choose, the nicotine delivery can be slow or fast-paced.  Either way, the nicotine kick and relaxed feeling you will feel once the nicotine is released is immediate.

You’ve never consumed nicotine

If you are new to nicotine, you should really take the proper measures and precautions in order to minimize the side effects related to your first-time use, regardless of whether you choose vaping, smoking, or snus.

Everyone is familiar with the effects felt by a teenager smoking his/her first cigarette, like nausea and headaches.  A first-time snus experience can resemble that of a first-time smoker, with, in addition, an increase in palpitations and heart rhythm due to the brutal influx of nicotine into the blood, as well as a stinging and slight burning sensation in the throat.

Making the Right Choice

Making the right choice for you is something that depends on whether you’ve experienced nicotine in the past or not.

For newbies, who’ve never used nicotine, we recommend starting with nicotine pouches rather than snus, since you can choose a flavor you know you will enjoy, like mint, licorice, lemon, berry, coffee and so many more.

If, on the other hand, you decide to go with snus instead, keep in mind that since snus is essentially tobacco in a pouch.  The tobacco flavor in snus is prominent and aggressive, even if the snus has a melon, mint, lemon, or any other flavor.  For this reason, we suggest using nicotine pouches first and testing snus once you are already familiar with the effects of oral nicotine use.

If you are already used to the effects of nicotine, you can go for a nicotine pouch like Velo Ice Cool.  This product is a very popular choice amongst nicotine pouch users; it has a strong mentholated mint flavor and 10 mg/g of nicotine strength, which is a nice nicotine concentration.

You can also try the Skruf Super Slim line which is a little stronger and has a nicotine strength of 12mg/g.  Get the Fresh Strong variety for a minty fresh flavor or the Polar Strong variety if you enjoy the taste of herbs and Eucalyptus.

BLCK is another brand of nicotine pouches with the same nicotine strength but different flavors like melon, cola, and blueberry.

On the other hand, if you are a first-time nicotine user, we recommend you use softer products with a lower concentration of nicotine like Lyft nicotine pouches.  As such, Lyft Mint White or Lyft Topic Breeze can be a good choice, with 6 mg/g of nicotine.

If you are curious as to what makes Lyft brand products so popular, just take a look at Lyft nicotine pouches ingredients.  Well, for starters, Lyft nicotine pouches are made with 100% natural plant fibers, mainly pine and eucalyptus.  However, the high quality natural fibers are not where it ends when it comes to using natural elements in their nicotine pouches.  The nicotine in Lyft is not an artificial chemical; rather it is extracted from the tobacco plant, to keep Lyft nicotine pouches as real as they come, and so you know you are getting the most natural alternative to tobacco you can get.  That said, it’s really no wonder that in the USA, Lyft nicotine pouches is one of the most popular brands.

In Conclusion, to start using snus successfully………

We at Snusline created this guide to assist you in your introduction to the world of snus.

We can help you make the best and most suitable choice when starting to use snus for the first time so your first snus experience is a success.

First Step

First and foremost, snus and nicotine pouches are both placed in the mouth, under the upper lip, somewhere between the front teeth and the back teeth (normally closer tho the front than the back of the mouth). It’s that simple. 

Each portion is specially designed to start releasing nicotine and flavor once a light pressure is applied, and there is contact with moisture from ingredients within the pouch and/or outside the pouch (saliva).  Since we used Lyft nicotine pouches as an example earlier, let’s use it in this case as well.

How to use Lyft nicotine pouches

Lyft nicotine pouches contain moist ingredients and are therefore, fast acting.  In the case of dryer ingredients in nicotine pouches or unmoistened tobacco in snus, the release of nicotine and flavor can take a little longer, since the only moisture in this case is the saliva in your mouth.

Firstly, the wetness moistens the fibers on the outside of the pouch and then slowly seeps in, symbiotically releasing the nicotine and flavor outward.

Follow Your Senses

We strongly believe that in order to make your first experience with snus an enjoyable one, it is important to pay attention to your sensations.  If you feel a burning sensation coming on, it is a good idea to move the portion to another area in your mouth and to drink some water.  Moving the portion will allow the burning sensation to pass and drinking water will soothe your throat.

These tips will help you at the beginning of your journey with snus when these effects can be somewhat bothersome.

Take Your Time

Give yourself time to get to know the product and feel comfortable with it.  Choose flavors and aromas that you enjoy and start with a low nicotine dosage.  If you follow this advice, you will surely have a positive experience and enjoy the moment.

You can start introducing new flavors and stronger products once you are acquainted with nicotine pouches and feel comfortable using them.  You may eventually want to try tobacco snus, with its strong tobacco flavor.

Feel the Pleasure

The Oral use of nicotine can be very pleasurable and satisfying with high levels of dopamine (the pleasure hormone) being secreted into the brain and contributing to an overall feeling of wellness and relaxation.  We at Snusline are always here to answer any questions or concerns you may have and to guide you in making the most suitable choices for you, whether you are new to nicotine or to snus.  If you are interested in knowing how to use Lyft nicotine pouches, for example, or any other snus or nicotine pouches, you can read

If you’re a snus consumer, you’re probably concerned about storing conditions of your goods. The reason is that snus is a perishable product; as time goes by, it can change its taste, smell, or flavor if not stored properly.

However, snus-lovers acknowledge the fact that getting the best possible flavor and taking advantage of all the health benefits of snus is only possible if it’s fresh and up-to-date. And you do want to get the best out of this delightful product, right? That’s why you should know how to store it correctly and how you should avoid damaging the efficiency of your snus.

In this small guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about storing snus products correctly. Let’s talk about the shelf life of snus, whether you can use frozen or dried snus, and reasons why you should avoid storing it in poor conditions. In the end, Snusline experts will also share some tips to keep your snus longer.

Why Should You Store Your Snus Correctly?

Are you wondering why you should take care of the proper storage conditions of your snus? Well, then you should know that storing it under appropriate conditions is the only way to maintain the flavor and taste of the product. It’s especially true for people who tend to buy a bunch of snus products at the same time to keep them ready to use in advance. 

In this case, you need to know that you may not be able to use all the products until the expiry date. While nicotine pouches are made for at least one or two years, the expiration date of snus products is usually four months to one year after the production. 

Therefore, storing subjects is critically important for this kind of product. This means that without storing it properly, it’s almost impossible to get the rich tobacco flavor and all the needed benefits of this alternative nicotine product.

Considering this, we’ll share some tips to learn about the best ways to store your snus correctly and keep it fresh and pleasant for as long as you can!

How Long Is the Shelf Life of Snus?

Considering that snus usually comes in different types, the shelf life of different snus products varies. Generally speaking, the shelf life can extend from 4.5 months to 1 year. Proper storage can help you keep it as long as possible.

Let’s take a look at the shelf life for snus products produced by different brands:

• Snus products from the brand General usually have a lifetime of 4 months and a half. Extra Strong Classic Portion Snus is the best seller among General snus products, and it can also be stored for about 4.5 months.
• Snus products from the brand Siberia can be stored for 1 year. Among Siberia products, Siberia Red with 43mg/g of Nicotine is the most famous.
• Snus products from the brand Odens also have a 1-year lifetime, and Cold Extreme White Dry  tends to be the most popular among them.

Besides these brands, it’s important to understand the shelf life of different types of products:

• All the loose snus products have a 6 month lifetime.
• Portion type of snus can be stored for about 20 weeks. 
• Dry portion products have a lifetime of 30 weeks.

Besides, it’s important to note that your snus in frozen condition can be stored for about one year, and below, you can see how you can freeze it accurately to extend its lifetime. Moreover, the quality and taste of the snus depend on the lifetime and storing conditions.

Best Ways to Store Snus Correctly – Tips & Tricks

When it comes to the optimal conditions to store snus, there’s one key thing that all snus users should remember — you should try to keep it as cool as possible. Therefore, people often recommend freezing snus or keeping it in the refrigerator. But without understanding how and why you should store snus in cold places, you might still damage its potential. 

Keep in mind that whatever condition you choose, you need to make sure that your snus maintains its aroma, consistency, and is steadily moisturized. Let’s take a look at the best ways to store snus in order to remain in good condition:

• Keep it in chill places

If you’re planning to frequently use your snus, storing it in a freezer won’t be the best option. Instead, you should just try to find cool places in your area. So just use a refrigerator or other place where there is no sunlight or heat. That way, you can extend its shelf life and maintain all the benefits and characteristics of snus.

• Use a freezer

However, if you bought a large amount of snus and aren’t going to use all of them anytime soon, then it’s better to think about freezing them. Just store your snus in the freezer to be able to maintain its characteristics for as long as one year. Don’t forget that you need to put the snus at room temperature shortly before you decide to use it.

• Use airtight container

Finally, if you decide to keep your snus in the freezer, you should make sure that it’s vacuum sealed. Even if you don’t have a freezer, try to ensure that the product rests at about 7 degrees and maintain it in dry places.

So, use either an airtight food storage container or jar to ensure that there is no air inside your snus. And don’t forget, when it comes to freezing snus, it’s a priority to keep it sealed.

Can I Freeze Snus?

Yes, as we pointed out in the best ways to store snus, freezing it can help you maintain it for up to one year. However, it’s only if you keep it in a tight vacuum bag and use it after it’s completely refrozen.

Can Dried Snus Be Rehydrated?

If stored incorrectly, chances are that your snus products will dry out. Even if its shelf life hasn’t expired yet, improper storage conditions usually damage the characteristics of the product. 

Unfortunately, even if you try to rehydrate and freeze your snus afterward, it will no longer restore its previous aroma and flavor, so try to make sure and keep it cool as soon as possible.

Why Should You Avoid Poor Storage of Snus?

After understanding the best condition of snus storage, let’s discuss why it’s so important to store it in cool and dry places and what can happen if you use a poorly stored snus product. 

Most of the time, people enjoy consuming snus because it’s a tasty and aroma-rich alternative to nicotine, right? But as you already know, snus loses its flavor and aroma if you don’t pay attention to the correct storage conditions. 

This means that the main reason why you shouldn’t use a poorly stored snus is that it won’t allow you anymore to enjoy its advantages — the quality won’t be the same, and chances are that the consistency will be different too.

Besides, one of the main reasons why snus is so effective is that it includes moisture content. However, whenever it dries out, you will no longer be able to experience the complete strength of nicotine you’re looking for. Therefore, snus in poor condition loses its strength and power as well.

Still, it doesn’t mean that snus stored in poor conditions will be harmful to your health. However, you won’t have as enjoyable an experience unless you keep it in cool and dry places. Over time, it will begin to perish, and as a result, it might taste and smell like regular tobacco.

What If You Use an Expired Snus?

If you aren’t a regular snus user yet, you might not be able to use it completely until the expiration date. Or maybe you bought it without taking a look at the expiration date, and now it’s close to the end of its lifetime. In either case, here’s what you should know:

Expired snus isn’t dangerous for your health in any way. If your snus has been stored correctly, which is the case for the products you have purchased on our website, the product will always be of very good quality.

It will continue to retain its flavor and moisture for several months after the best before date. For brands like general, katpen or skuf the snus can keep all its taste up to a year after its manufacture.

Final Words: Are You Storing Snus Correctly?

All in all, the effects of snus products, as well as the degree of pleasure you’re going to get while using them, completely depend on the way you store them. And the best way to store your snus correctly is to keep it in as cool a place as possible.

So, determine the type of snus you use, take a look at its best before date when you purchase the product in the shop of Snusline, and decide when you’re going to use it. As a result, you’ll be able to use its full potential and boost the benefits as much as possible.

Nicotine pouches, a popular alternative for those looking to quit or reduce the harmful effects of smoking, offer a tobacco-free solution. These bags, which contain nicotine, come in various flavors, sweeteners, and plant-based fibers. Despite their rising popularity, there’s still some confusion about these products, especially regarding their duration and effects.

A common query at Snusline revolves around the longevity of Oral nicotine products’ effects and their overall lifespan. The duration of these effects and the pouches’ usability depend on several key factors.

We’ll first delve into how the size, strength, type of product, and pH level influence how long the nicotine from the pouches lasts in the body. These factors play a crucial role in determining both the intensity and duration of the nicotine experience when using tobacco-free bags.

Next, we’ll tackle the sensations associated with Oral nicotine products, answering the question, “What do Tobacco-free snus feel like?” This will provide insights into the experience of using nicotine pouches under the upper lip, a common practice for snus users.

Finally, we’ll address two important aspects: the shelf life of nicotine pouches and their usage duration. Understanding when nicotine pouches expire and how long they last before running out is essential for users who prefer synthetic nicotine options. This knowledge ensures optimal use and helps in making informed choices regarding the use of nicotine pouches.

When Nicotine Pouch is Finished?

Determining when a nicotine pouch is finished is crucial for those using them as a tool to quit smoking or as a tobacco-free snus alternative. A nicotine pouch in your mouth provides an intense nicotine experience, but knowing when its effect has waned is essential for effective usage.

Typically, a nicotine pouch lasts around 30 to 60 minutes in your mouth. The duration can vary based on the pouch’s strength and your tolerance to nicotine. A key sign to know when a nicotine pouch is finished is the decrease in flavor and nicotine sensation. Initially, the pouch releases an intense nicotine hit, but as time passes, this intensity diminishes, indicating that the pouch has served its purpose.

It’s also important to consider the expiry date of nicotine pouches. While they are designed for long shelf life, the potency and safety of the pouch can be compromised past the expiry date. Always check the packaging for this date to ensure you’re using a product that is both safe and effective.

For individuals aiming to quit smoking, tobacco-free snus pouches like these are a popular choice. They offer a controlled way to satisfy nicotine cravings without the harmful effects of tobacco. By understanding how long a Nicotine sachet lasts and recognizing when it’s time to replace it, users can better manage their nicotine intake and gradually reduce their dependency.

How Long Do Nicotine Pouches Last in the Body?

To begin with, it’s important to emphasize different brands for taking nicotine products, including pouches. Typically, the effects of nicotine pouches will last in the mouth for an hour – that’s the amount of time you will keep it under your lip or between the cheek and gum. However, it also depends on whether the product is moisture or dry, its pH level, and flavor. On the other hand, the effect on the body can last several days. 

So let’s look at some factors that affect how long you will feel the effect of the Nicotine sachet. 

Size of Portions

Large Portions

The size of large nicotine pouches can weigh up to 1g and be kept under your lip for up to one hour. Although not discrete as slim or mini formulations, they are very durable nicotine products in situations when you can’t take pouches regularly. 

Slim and Super Slim Portions

Slim nicotine pouches are the most popular on the market. They are invisible in your mouth and release nicotine and aromas between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the brand. They are usually as long as large pouches but are thin. 

Are you wondering whether you can bring nicotine pouches on a plane? Our extra slim Nicotine bags are not only thin and convenient for all occasions, but they are also travel-friendly. These pouches come in two different formulations and a variety of flavors, including fruity and mint, ensuring optimal satisfaction. So next time you travel, take our Non-tobacco pouches with you without any worries about airport regulations.

Mini Portions

The smallest formulations on the market are mini. Similar to slim pouches, they are discrete and can give you about a 30-minute of a nicotine kick. Starting with On! Licorice 3Mg All White Nicotine Pouches is an excellent way to see how a nicotine pouch will feel on your lip.  

Strength of Nicotine Pouches 

Nicotine pouches, varying in strength from light to extremely strong, cater to diverse preferences in nicotine consumption. However, the experience isn’t solely defined by nicotine content. Some users report an immediate tingling sensation even from lower nicotine strength pouches, while others require more robust options to feel a subtle buzz. This variance in experience stems from the pouch’s composition.

The key factors influencing how a Nicotine pod feels in your mouth include moisture level, pH, and flavor. The moisture content can impact the speed at which nicotine is released, affecting how quickly you feel the nicotine’s effects. A higher moisture level often leads to a more immediate release of nicotine, contributing to that tingling sensation associated with Tobacco-free snus.

Similarly, the pH level plays a crucial role. A higher pH can increase the nicotine’s bioavailability, making it more readily absorbed in the mouth. This factor can explain why some users feel a stronger effect from pouches with the same nicotine content but different pH levels.

Flavor additives also contribute to the overall experience. Certain flavors can enhance the perception of strength and sensation, making even lower nicotine strength pouches feel more potent.

In the UK, where Nicotine bags are becoming increasingly popular, these factors are essential for users to consider. Understanding the interplay of moisture, pH, and flavor can help you choose the right pouch for your nicotine consumption needs, whether you prefer a light tingle or a more pronounced effect. This knowledge ensures a more tailored and enjoyable experience with nicotine pouches in the UK.

Moisture 

Moisture is responsible for the better release of Oral nicotine products. So the more moisture content your product has, the faster it is absorbed into your system. For example, ZYN Ginger Blood Orange Slim Nicotine Pouches will give you a dry feeling, while Lyft/Velo Tropic Breeze has a soft mouth feel due to its moist content. 

Flavor 

While not so obvious, the flavor can intensify the nicotine strength. For instance, light-size pouches with menthol or peppermint provide a cooling and burning sensation to increase the nicotine effect. As a result, you will feel the nicotine effect faster. On the flip side, products with fruity tastes are more relaxing, even when using extra-strong nicotine pouches. 

pH Value 

The strength of the nicotine pouch is also regulated by pH value, an acidic substance known as alkalinity. The higher the pH level, the more nicotine is absorbed, raising its physiological effects. 

How Long Do The Effects Of Nicotine Pouches Last?

The effect of nicotine pouches also depends on your: 

• Body metabolism. People with a more active lifestyle will process nicotine faster than those leading a sedentary lifestyle. 
• Body’s resistance to nicotine. How long you have been taking nicotine products also plays a role in how the nicotine effect lasts. Heavy smokers need more pouches than those smoking less than 20 cigarettes daily to feel the effect.  

We are all very different, so some respond faster to nicotine than others. It may take very little for one person to feel a buzz, while another may need a longer time to get that boost.

How Many Nicotine Pouches Should I Take?

The number of nicotine pouches you should take rests on your needs and preferences. You won’t find an indication on the number of pouches per day. 

Snusline products come in various formations and strengths to satisfy each client. Even if you are a heavy smoker, we’d recommend starting with a lower nicotine dose. A lower strength might be the best option to avoid the burning effect. 

For beginners, we recommend starting at a low concentration and seeing how it works for you. 

How Do Nicotine Pouches Feel Like?

When you put a nicotine pouch under your lip, nicotine enters your bloodstream quickly – in 10 to 20 seconds. It enhances chemical reactions that create sensations of pleasing calmness. It works as a stimulant and sedative. 

Someone may feel relaxed; others even experience sharper memory and better concentration for a while. Improved mood and calmness – what people mean when they say they have a “buzz.”

You can leave a nicotine pouch under the lip as long as it tastes great, usually for an hour or so, and put it out as soon as you don’t feel the effect anymore. 

How Long Do Nicotine Pouches Last on the Shelf?

The shelf life of nicotine pouches is pretty long. The date you see on a can is best before date, meaning it’s still safe to use pouches even after a specific date when stored under appropriate conditions. But since, for most people, flavor and quality are the prime concern, then you should use them best-before date. Yet, how long the product will last on the shelf depends on how you store it. 

Nicotine pouches need to be stored out of light and in the refrigerator. This is because all types of light can destroy the flavor. You should also keep your product away from water to avoid losing its flavor and content. 

How Long Do Tobacco-free snus Last Before They Run Out?

Another concern for our European consumers is they want to know how many uses they’ll get out of a standard nicotine pouch can.

Again, this may vary from brand to brand. It also depends on the nicotine concentration and portion product. To illustrate, Killa Cold Mint Extra Strong Nicopods contains 20 pouches, whereas Skruf Super White Slim Fresh Strong 3 has 24 portions. 

You should also look at the strength of the product. Some manufacturers may offer 10-15 pouches but with the highest strength. However, an average portion is 20 to 24, and most people consume 6 pouches per day. 

If you buy 30 cans with 24 pouches per can, you will have 720 pouches that will last 120 days.

Here at Snusline, you can find the best offers for purchasing 30 cans of Nicotine sachets. Take a look at our pouches list that we have made for you!

How Can Nicotine Pouches Last Longer?

It’s important to note that Nicotine pods contain no tobacco. They are designed for a slow release of nicotine, providing a lasting effect. The duration these pouches last depends largely on the brand and the specific product. Different nicotine pouch brands offer varying strengths and release rates, which can affect how long you experience the effects.

To keep your Nicotine sachets lasting longer, proper storage is key. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness and efficacy. When you buy nicotine pouches online or from a store, check the expiration date to ensure you’re getting a fresh product.

Disposing of a nicotine pouch properly is also crucial. Once you feel the nicotine effects diminishing, it’s time to dispose of the pouch. Using a pouch beyond its effective period won’t provide the desired experience.

For those new to Tobacco-free snus, it’s advisable to start with a lower strength to gauge how your body reacts. Oral nicotine products may vary in intensity, and starting slow can help you find the right balance for your needs.

What about Velo Pouches ? The Best Nicotine Pouches

When exploring alternatives to smoking, Velo pouches stand out as a top choice for satisfying your Tobacco-free cravings. Renowned for their reduced moisture content, Velo pouches offer a comfortable experience, quite like velo, lasting around 30 minutes per pouch.

Key Effects on Physical Performance

If you’re into the football industry, chances are that you’ve already heard something about snus. The truth is that more and more football players tend to use this product these days. Snus is oral tobacco that is put beneath the lip to activate the neurological system.

A few years ago, there was controversy about the effects of this oral tobacco. But guess what? Nowadays, it would be challenging to locate a football team without at least one player who carries a tiny round plastic snus pot with them at all times. It seems like footballers have finally found a safer alternative to smoking nicotine!

Wondering why snus is so popular? What makes it a highly demanded product? Or maybe you even want to give it a try and see how it can affect your physical performance. Especially if you practice sport at a high level.

In this small guide, the Snusline team will answer all your questions about this healthy smoking alternative for football players, even if we talk about it shortly in our Home Page.

We hope to provide answers to the following questions :

• what does snus do for footballers?
• what is snus used for in football?
• what is the best snus for footballers?
• does snus help football?

What is “snus” and how does it work?

In simple terms, snus is a tobacco-based oral product with Swedish roots. Snus contains a nicotine and is positioned in the mouth, typically under the top lip, where it is kept for a long time. Considering this, it’s not surprising that it has the same effect as a cigarette. However, it’s much safer than smoking and helps you give up this terrible habit.

Based on common sense, athletes are not permitted to use it since it will harm their performance and health. That’s why they’re always looking for healthier alternatives to cigarettes. But it turns out that it’s not entirely true after all.

Modern medicine has discovered an alternative method to consuming nicotine, besides smoking or vaping. This alternative is snus, which users insert beneath the lip where it rests along the gum line.

Unfortunately, this product hasn’t yet gotten the recognition it deserves. As a result, selling snus is still prohibited in the majority of the EU. However, over the past several years, snus has seen a sharp increase in popularity in the UK, particularly among footballers. Most concerningly, it frequently occurs among young players of the football game.

Therefore, people outside of Scandinavia easily purchase their goods from internet stores like Snusline and take advantage of their positive effects on physical performance and overall health.

Why do footballers use snus?

More and more footballers are consuming snus which makes us wonder why do footballers use snus?

In reality, many elite athletes have been using snus pouches for several years as a way to unwind. These pouches deliver nicotine stimulation without the need to breathe in smoke or other hazardous toxins. Sounds impressive, right?

Well, it’s a well-known fact that smoking harms athletic performance. Athletes require oxygen-rich blood to be efficiently delivered to their heart, lungs, and muscles. This requirement makes smoking detrimental to their performance.

Tobacco possesses highly addictive qualities. These qualities make it hard for many people, including elite athletes, to quit.

Despite being fully aware of its harmful effects, many athletes continue to smoke. They do so even though it negatively impacts their health.

Furthermore, smoking also hinders their ability to perform at their optimum level.

That’s why, many football players have already decided to switch to snus and replace regular cigarettes by smokeless products like nicotine gum or snus, which have multiple advantages. This means that they can still get pleasure without adverse effects on performance levels.

We understand better why do footballers do snus.

Effects of snus on physical performance

The scientific literature on snus isn’t very extensive at the moment. However, we do know that it can have several positive impacts on athletes’ physical performance. There was a study conducted in 2014 that specifically investigated the effects of snus. This study aimed to understand how snus influences amateur football players. The players chosen for the study were non-smokers. They also didn’t use snus prior to the study. These participants had varying heart rates before undergoing a physical test.

Results pointed out that snus can have a significant positive impact on the overall physical performance of athletes. Let’s dive deeper into these benefits.

Snus and Football : Increased alertness

Snus has been shown to have calming effects on physical and mental activity. Besides, it tends to improve focus and possibly even improve athletic performance. Moreover, using snus increased alertness and concentration among young sportsmen.

Snus and Football : Improved coordination

Aerobic, anaerobic, and strength traits are crucial for a player to succeed, given the high-intensity, intermittent nature of football. Making sure you’re on top of all three will therefore help you perform better on the field. Surprisingly, snus can also help you improve coordination skills. which, in turn, can result in better athletic performance.

Snus and Football : Enhanced cognitive performance

Consuming snus has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive performance, which is especially beneficial for footballers who need fast thinking and decision-making skills. Needless to say, football and other dynamic sports games require attention to detail and the ability to make crucial decisions as quickly as possible.

This means you can hardly succeed without well-developed decision-making skills, which are essential given how much faster the game is moving. The findings indicated that, as compared to placebo, snus had much better performance in improving the skills of sportsmen.

Who are the players who take advantage of snus?

Now let’s take a look at famous football players who regularly use snus and stand out with their performances.

Two Premier League players are known to use snus. Some of them include – Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles and Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Another famous case is Victor Lindelof, a defender for Manchester United, who shared a photo of the substance on his Instagram page in 2016.

England striker Jamie Vardy said: “When I signed with Leicester, one of the guys introduced me to snus, and I discovered that it helped me relax.” Who will know better than those who have experienced it themselves?

Will snus cause addiction?

Everything depends on the amount, but because nicotine is so strongly addictive, some gamers take it to an unhealthy level. Every chemical can be hazardous if it overdoses. Snus contains nicotine and can be addictive if used uncontrollably.

However, it’s still the best alternative for sportsmen since it is safer than cigarettes and will help you quit smoking if you use it normally. And if you use this product with caution, chances are that your playing skills and ability to concentrate will improve over time.

Types of snus that footballers prefer

Generally, snus comes in a variety of forms and doses. The most well-known and practical form of snus is oral, as in chew bags and pouches. Traditional Swedish snus, available since the 16th century, comes as a loose powder. Users must manually shape this powder into a “prilla” before applying it under the lip. Therefore, athletes who want to have a real Swedish snus experience tend to take any of the mouthwatering traditional loose snus products available in our shop. Most of the football players use the famous Siberia Red because of  the hugh level of nicotine.

We have also some of them that use General Snus or Göteborgs Rapé  High quality Brand from Swedish Match.

Modern Swedish snus also comes in portion pouches that are ready to use and can easily pop under your top lip. Depending on the product and the brand, portions can be original, white, or white dry and available in regular, slim, and tiny sizes.

Snus and Football : Consume snus and stay on top!

It seems like you’re already aware of the numerous advantages taking snus can bring to your physical health. So, you might be looking for a trustworthy company to get your snus and stay on top.

If that’s the case, you should know that Snusline is always up to date with any changes or new laws and regulations worldwide regarding tobacco products as well as nicotine pouches.

About the answer to the question: “Can You Bring Nicotine Pouches on a Plane.” Many people are curious. They want to know if they can bring nicotine pouches on a plane. This question is often asked by travelers. They seek to enjoy smokeless tobacco products during their journey.

Traveling can be for business or pleasure. It’s essential to know airport guidelines. This ensures a smooth security check-in. It also avoids unnecessary stress. Knowing the rules is crucial. This applies to carrying items on board and packing them in checked baggage. It is especially important when traveling from Europe to the USA or Latin American countries.

Smokeless Nicotine Alternatives for Travelers

Smokers may find traveling stressful without their nicotine fix. Fortunately, alternatives like nicotine pouches and Siberia snus offer smokeless options for nicotine consumption. This article will discuss the rules and regulations surrounding bringing nicotine pouches on a plane.

Complying with TSA Regulations

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for safe and secure travel to and from the US. It’s essential to comply with TSA guidelines when considering whether you can bring nicotine pouches on a plane, as non-compliance can lead to fines or even arrest.

Traveling with Nicotine Pouches and Other Smokeless Products

In this chapter, we will explore the TSA’s rules and regulations for traveling with nicotine pouches and other new-generation smokeless nicotine products, such as vapes and snus. Learn about the specific requirements for packing and carrying these products on a plane to ensure a hassle-free journey.

What Happens if You Get Caught Vaping in an Airport?

Just like smoking, vaping is prohibited on board any aircraft or in any airport, and the TSA, as well as all airlines, do not allow it.  The best case scenario is you’ll get your vape confiscated and in the worst case, you’ll be arrested on board and chaperoned off the plane.  Don’t take chances! There are other options that can make traveling smokeless (and vapeless) a win-win situation.

Nicotine pouches and Airport

As we all know, your traveling adventure doesn’t just start when you get on the plane; you can spend quite some time waiting to clear security and customs before boarding.  All that time without your nicotine fix can be hard to handle and downright frustrating.  So to get your travels off to a good start, we recommend you bring along something you can pull out and use in the airport. Nicotine pouches and snus are the perfect smokeless solution while roaming around in the airport and won’t cause you any troubles.

Can You Bring Chewing Tobacco On a Plane?

The TSA allows any form of smokeless tobacco on board, meaning you can simply carry them with you on the plane or pack them in your checked in luggage.  It’s really that simple.

The more important question is: Can you actually consume tobacco products on board?  This is the point where cigarettes and cigars take the back seat.  However, smokeless tobacco products like chewing tobacco or snus can be consumed onboard, and if you think about it, it actually makes perfect sense.

One of the advantages to using snus, for example, is that it is a discreet product that no one will notice you have under your lip.  You can enjoy it and get your nicotine fix while waiting in line for check in or roaming around the airport and even while sitting in your passenger seat.

Can I Bring My Velo on a Plane?

Yes! If you are flying to the USA and most Latin American countries, you can bring nicotine pouches on a plane as carry-on or checked luggage.

While many worry that pouches will be confiscated or result in a security issue, you can rest assured that it is possible to travel with nicotine pouches.

However, there are a few things to consider before heading to the airport. Read on to find out!

Boarding a Plane with Certain Nicotine Products Can Be a Problem

While traveling with nicotine pouches, the TSA may scrutinize your belongings.

Some items are deemed security risks and may be confiscated if they don’t meet the TSA guidelines and if you do not follow certain conditions that can allow you to carry them on board.  These items include:

• E-cigarettes – lithium batteries should be carried in a safe case.
• Liquids – must be placed in a container and packed appropriately.
• Vapes – cartridges must be emptied before boarding.

While it’s unlikely that you’ll run into issues when you travel with nicotine pouches, check the local guidelines before your flight so that you don’t have to throw them away.

Things to Know Before You Bring Lyft On a Plane

Nicotine pouches are stuffed with powdered cellulose soaked in nicotine, flavorings and sweeteners.  The following is important information you’ll want to know before taking Lyft pouches or any other nicotine pouches on a plane:

• According to the TSA, “Powder-like substances greater than 12 oz. / 350 mL must be placed in a separate bin for X-ray screening. They may require additional screening and containers may need to be opened. For your convenience, we encourage you to place non-essential powders greater than 12 oz. in checked bags.”

The quantities expressed in the TSA website regarding powders are equal to about 20 cans of nicotine pouches. As a rule of thumb, although you may be able to board the plane with more, take only what you need on board with you, or take a lot less than permitted in your carry on.

Also, if traveling with a checked bag, you may choose to lessen the risk and pack your nicotine pouches there instead of in your carry-on, since “The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint “

Can You Bring Zyn on a Plane?

If you are a Zyn Nicotine Pouches user in the USA, this chapter is a must-read for you.

If you are planning to travel by plane and you are a Zyn user, you may wonder whether you can bring Zyn on a plane. Just like with other nicotine pouches, it is possible to bring Zyn on a plane, but there are a few important things you should know.

First and foremost, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is responsible for determining what items can be carried on board an aircraft, whether in the cargo hold or in the passenger cabin. While Zyn is not prohibited, the TSA may still scrutinize your belongings during the security check-in.

To make sure you can bring Zyn on a plane, pack it in checked luggage or carry-on bag. Note that the TSA may require additional screening. They may open the container during X-ray screening.

When packing Zyn in carry-on, place it in a separate bin for X-ray screening. Remember that powders greater than 12 oz/350 mL need a separate bin. Take only what you need on board. Take less than permitted in your carry-on if possible.

Before your flight, check TSA guidelines. Visit the customs regulations website. Look for the latest rules on tobacco and nicotine products, like Zyn. This helps avoid issues at the airport.

 

Smoke-Free Products Are The Best to Bring on a Plane

Generally and within permissible quantities, smoke-free nicotine formulations like snus and nicotine pouches are pretty easy and safe to take with you on a plane. Anything else can be confiscated or fined, depending on the country you are heading to. That is why we recommend nicotine pouches or snus when you travel abroad or fly locally, and while waiting in the airport.

You can buy Snusline products online with your favorite flavor of different sizes, strengths, and brands.

Final Thoughts

When traveling abroad, ensure you have your alternative to smoking or vaping near. Depending on your nicotine use, consider flight length. You may need nicotine pouches or snus. Have them on hand while waiting to board. Keep them during your flight as well.

Pack vaping or smoking devices properly. Follow TSA and customs regulations. Place them in carry-on or check-in luggage. Pack other nicotine and tobacco products accordingly.

Remember to check TSA guidelines. Visit the customs regulations website before traveling. Stay updated on rules for tobacco and nicotine products. This includes nicotine pouches and snus. Arrive at the airport prepared and worry-free.

Happy Travels!

A few questions rise up when talking about Siberia Red called also White Dry Extremely Strong;

• why would anyone want a 43mg/g nicotine level snus?
• what is the hype about this snus?
• why do people like it ?

Really trying to answer these questions could be a great challenge because it all boils down to personal preferences. But if we try to analyze it bit by bit maybe we can get more content as to why Siberia white dry extremely strong is so famous.

What’s good about the Siberia Red?

Siberia White Dry Extremely Strong, also known as Siberia Red, has many features which will attract the snus consumer. Such as its flavor, the very present tobacco flavor mixed with a cold mint freshness, the fact that it comes in different sizes. However, for the most part, consumers get attracted to Siberia Snus for its intense nicotine content.

Siberia Red is so famous that GN Tobacco offers it in multiple portions format. You can find the Siberia Red Snus in regular portions format but also in Slim and Mini. For big consumers Siberia create the boxes with 500 g of Siberia Red. The last one creation by GN Tobacco is the Siberia Red Tobacco Free Nicotine Pouches same taste but without Tobacco.

The Siberia come with a huge Nicotine content

When talking about nicotine content there are a few things to consider;

• What does nicotine content really mean?
• How does it affect a snus experience ?

In snus nicotine content represents the measure of nicotine substance in a single pouch of snus tobacco. It is calculated through multiple density results. Nicotine is the main attraction in tobacco. It was well studied along the years and it was proven to be a stimulating compound. When nicotine is introduced to the body blood pressure as well as heart rate increase and a rush of adrenaline is released. These physiological effects are stimulating to the body therefore making nicotine an enjoyable substance.

How the Nicotine is absorbed?

So whether tobacco is consumed through snus or any other means the luring aspect is nicotine and it can be quantified by its absorption in the body. The nicotine content in a snus will definitely affect a snus experience, for example, taking a portion snus that is too strong or not strong enough.

Is  the nicotine absorption level in the snus user a starting point for the nicotine level he would ideally want to take?

They are two and the same. Nicotine absorption level represents the presence of it in the body and the starting point of nicotine level is the quantity a snus user would appreciate and be satisfied with.

A study was made determining that nicotine stays in the blood stream for 48 hours and its effects last for 2 hours. Therefore if it concerns a quotidian cigarette smoker, with an already there level of nicotine absorbed, he would appreciate a snus that will match the nicotine level he is used to. He can be comfortable trying and exploring with the many types, sizes and flavors of snus out there. For the snus user it is to be assumed that if taking a portion within the two hours or even within the 48 hours from an intake the body will expect and/or demand the same nicotine level that was given prior.

This explains the lack of satisfaction when taking a lower nicotine level snus then the usual consumed dose. The body, it seems, has a standard based on precedent and will look to maintain it. It is important to mention to a first time user to be wildly concerned with the nicotine content of a snus before using it. The side effects of excess nicotine in the body are the furthest from enjoyable.

Do people want to increase nicotine content level?

Can we assume that a snus user will, with time, want to up the level since his body will get used to the given amount ? There is no real way of answering this question due to the fact that snus use is very particular to the individual using it. If we were to try to answer this question from a scientific/statistic point of view,  quite a few articles elaborate that a body of a person taking snus will absorb snus in its own individual way.  Nicotine intake varies from one person to the other. As well as habits, one user will not necessarily be that for another.

The pace the user will take snus, his daily use of it and the scenery in which it is taken are all factors when it comes to this question. And most of all, the desired experiences of one user is definitely not the same for all snus user. All of this leads us to understand that it is not written is stone that a snus consumer will necessarily want to up the nicotine content in his snus with time. It is a decision, not a circumstance, made on an individual level.

The Siberia White Dry Extremely Strong – a powerful snus

The Siberia Red is considered “the most powerful type of snus”, we can come to the conclusion that its popularity is due to that exactly.

Aside from the fact that it is characterized by its long lasting tobacco and cold flavor, a snus consumer will most likely want Siberia for its nicotine content. It may be for a user that has an elevated tolerance to nicotine, a user that wants an adrenaline rush for better performance in sport with snus consuming, a user that is partying and wants to pair it with a nice drink or a user looking for an extreme experience. All these types of users are prone to pick Siberia Red out of the abundant selection of snus in the market. Siberia snus can be appreciated by the “heavy” snus user with a body that is highly expectant of nicotine as well as the snus user looking for an extreme hit.

The Impact of Snus on Physical Performance

A prevalent inquiry surrounding snus pertains to its influence on a person’s physical performance in sports. It is essential to examine the relationship between snus and athletic performance to fully understand its role in this context.

Snus, a smokeless tobacco product primarily used in Scandinavia, has no definitive effect on sports results. Its impact cannot be classified as either positive or negative. However, snus has a main component: nicotine. Nicotine has been shown to affect athletes’ mental state. It can also impact their focus.

Nicotine, a stimulant found in snus, is known for enhancing concentration and alleviating anxiety. When athletes use snus, they may experience a mental uplift. This helps them focus on the task at hand. As a result, they can perform at their best. They can overcome challenges effectively. Ultimately, they enjoy a sense of accomplishment and pleasure in their chosen sports.

The mental benefits of nicotine in snus should not be mistaken for a direct enhancement of physical performance. Instead, improved concentration and reduced anxiety contribute to an athlete’s overall mindset. This enables them to approach their sport with more confidence, determination, and motivation. Mental factors play a crucial role in an athlete’s success. The connection between snus use and athletic performance is complex and nuanced.

While snus may not provide a direct boost to an athlete’s physical abilities, its impact on mental focus and anxiety reduction can still be significant. In high-pressure situations or during intense competition, an athlete’s mental state can make all the difference. The use of snus, in this context, may provide the necessary edge to excel, ultimately contributing to a heightened sense of victory and satisfaction in sports.

Snus and Sports Competitions

Snus use does not contribute to an increase in strength, stamina, or speed, it can still play a significant role in athletes’ mental well-being and ability to concentrate on their objectives, such as winning.

In the competitive world of sports, an athlete’s mental state is just as crucial as their physical abilities. Snus, containing nicotine, has been shown to help athletes relax and improve their focus, which can be particularly beneficial in high-pressure situations. This mental edge can be the determining factor between victory and defeat, making snus a valuable tool for athletes seeking to achieve their goals.

Given these mental benefits, there is no need to ban nicotine from sports competitions. While some might argue that nicotine provides an unfair advantage, its effects are primarily psychological, and its use does not result in the same level of physical enhancement associated with doping or performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, snus use remains an acceptable and legal practice in the world of sports.

However, it is essential to note that snus should not be used during a game, as its use presents a choking hazard. The small pouches, placed under the upper lip, could accidentally be swallowed or obstruct the airway during intense physical activity. To mitigate this risk, athletes are advised to use snus before or after their games to ensure their safety while still benefiting from the mental advantages it provides.

Nicotine and the Olympics

If you’ve ever wondered whether nicotine (including nicotine pouches, tobacco-free snus portions) is banned at the Olympic Games, you might be surprised to learn that it is not prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). In fact, a significant number of Olympic athletes use nicotine products.

Snus Use Among Soccer Players

Snus has gained popularity among soccer players in the Premier League. This trend can be attributed to the increasing number of Scandinavian soccer players joining the league, bringing with them their cultural practices and habits, including snus use. As these athletes integrate into their respective teams, their teammates and peers become exposed to snus, leading to its adoption by an even broader range of players.

The use of snus among soccer players has become a topic of interest. Many fans and sports enthusiasts are curious about the reasons behind its popularity. They also wonder about potential advantages it may offer. As mentioned earlier, snus can provide mental benefits. These include improved focus and relaxation. Such benefits can be valuable in the high-pressure world of professional soccer. Intense competition and fans’ expectations add pressure. Snus may help players maintain a calm and focused demeanor. This allows them to perform at their best on the field.

For those interested in learning more about snus use among soccer players, our article on the impact of snus on football players offers valuable insights. This piece provides a comprehensive list of soccer players known to use snus and delves into their reasons for doing so. The article also explores the cultural aspects of snus use, shedding light on its history and significance in Scandinavian culture.

Additionally, the article examines the ongoing debate surrounding snus use in professional sports. It includes potential benefits and drawbacks of consumption. The article discusses various perspectives on snus use. Perspectives come from sports clubs, governing bodies, medical professionals, and fans. The article provides a balanced and informative overview of this intriguing topic.

Snus and Its Popularity in Various Sports

Snus is widespread across various sports such as soccer, tennis, rugby, baseball, swimming, basketball, hockey, and more. Initially popular among Scandinavian athletes, its use has since spread to others. While sports clubs may initially express skepticism regarding snus consumption, they soon understand that it poses no harm and does not lead to doping issues.

Athletes, Sports Clubs, and Snus

Athletes often relax after a game with a snus portion under their upper lip, enjoying the nicotine rush. Sports clubs are content that their athletes are not getting drunk or using drugs, allowing them to compete at a high level in the next match.

Snus and Scandinavian Culture

Snus has been a part of Scandinavian culture for centuries, first as a loose powder and later as portions. It is an integral aspect of many Scandinavian adults’ lives, whether they are athletes or businesspeople. Snus is deeply ingrained in Scandinavian heritage and culture.

Conclusion

In conclusion, many athletes use snus, and their clubs permit its use because they recognize it as a better alternative to smoking or drinking. The long history of snus use in Scandinavia suggests its efficacy, and many successful Scandinavian athletes are affiliated with snus. Even WADA has not banned snus for use at the Olympic Games, so athletes can use it before or after competition without any concerns.

An Introduction to the Nicotine Pouch  

What is a Nicotine Pouch?

If we had to reduce it to its simplest description, the nicotine pouch is essentially a tobacco-free snus portion.  

As a general rule, the popularity of snus portions created the stepping stone for tobacco free nicotine pouches.

Are Nicotine Pouches Snus?

In recent years, something new has been taking place in the snus world and that is tobacco free snus commonly referred to as nicopods or nicotine pouches. But can we really call nicotine pouches snus?  Well, it depends who you ask.

Snus portions contain tobacco and the arising changes brought on by modern processes allowed the possibility to create them as a convenient, hassle-free solution to experiencing snus.  Before then, snus was only found in loose form and was not as widespread.  Readily packed snus portions expanded the snus horizon and quickly spread across the globe as the most popular way to consume snus. 

As times progressed, so did the transformation of the snus portion: A variety of flavours, types and formats became available as the modern snus market emerged. 

Until the creation of the nicotine pouch in 2015, snus was synonymous with oral smokeless tobacco.  Although they may look and feel like snus portions, the absence of tobacco in nicotine pouches make it that they are not really snus, since what really makes snus “snus” is the tobacco.  

Nicotine Pouches and Their Gain in Popularity

The creation of the nicotine pouch made the dream a reality for many nicotine users and only became a possibility through advanced technology and the development, and availability, of synthetic flavourings and food-grade fillers as well as nicotine salts, liquid nicotine and other ingredients.

Until then, anyone who wanted the effects of nicotine without using tobacco had to get pharmaceutical grade nicotine in the form of gum or patches, with the intended usage of quitting smoking cigarettes.

From the creation of vape in 2003 until nicotine pouches exploded into the market in 2015, the only other recreational form of tobacco-free smokeless nicotine was vape.

Since 2015, nicotine pouches have been making a steady rise amongst nicotine users.  Actually, according to CSP Daily News, an American convenience-store-trade article publication, sales for nicotine pouches rose by 470 percent in 2020. 

Nicotine pouches are also being called nicopods and are quickly gaining popularity even amongst vapers.  When they were first introduced, nicotine pouches were limited in flavours, but since then many brands have expanded their product lines to include an array of delicious flavours, making nicotine pouches the perfect alternative to vaping when discretion is required. 

Although some were skeptical, with its boom to stardom and its steady rise, the nicotine pouch is surely here to stay as one of the most popular and sought after forms of consuming oral smokeless tobacco-free nicotine in the world today.

Stay tuned for more articles on interesting facts about nicotine pouches.

Snus has become increasingly popular in recent years, just have a look at the different social media channels and you’ll see there are tons of forums, fanpages, information websites etc.

Here is a short history background of snus

It all started in the 1400’s in the Caribbean, spread to France and then to the rest of Europe.

Snus was something used by the upper-class, very trendy at the time. In Europe it spread through Scandinavia and in 1700 the tobacco industry was already established and successful in Sweden. Many famous Swedish snus brands find their origin in the years 1800-1900.

In the 20th century snus started spreading in America, nowadays snus is popular in Asia and Africa as well. A reason for that is probably the urge to stop smoking and snus can be helpful with that. 

Snus In Europe

There are strict rules and restrictions regarding the import and sales of tobacco. Did you know that Sweden is the only country in Europe where selling snus is legal? Or that in Denmark only the sale of Loose snus is allowed? In Iceland and Singapore Snus is not allowed at all. And in Norway, the snus needs to look neutral, with no snus labeling.

Since the sales of snus is so problematic in the E.U., snus manufacturers are looking into other markets like the U.S., Africa and Asia.

Norway is not part of the E.U. so snus is not prohibited there but as written previously, the snus needs to look neutral (no logo, pictures etc).

According to some data, the use of snus in Norway has increased and the use of smoking cigarettes has declined.

This trend is similar in Sweden.

Snus lovers in the E.U. (besides Sweden) or Canada have a hard time purchasing their beloved snus.

Countries continue to impose stricter rules and it is not clear why they keep on doing so since snus is a healthier alternative to classic cigarettes.

Snus in the UK

Snus is very popular in UK, It’s why Snus UK is a very hot subject espcially since the Brexit.

Snus is not legalized in the U.K. but anyways many U.K. citizens are able to purchase them.

It became immensely popular mainly due to the influx of Scandinavian soccer stars, who continued using their beloved snus while playing in the premier league.

Nowadays nicotine pouches are trendy in the U.K., this precisely because of the non-legal status of tobacco snus. Nicotine pouches are tobacco free portions. Unlike tobacco snus, Nicotine pouches are white in color and therefore leave less stains or dirt behind on clothes/teeth.

They are chemical snus, created as an alternative to tobacco snus and are more accessible in the U.K. They still contain nicotine so you will still receive your nicotine shot.

More info about nicotine pouches can be found on our website, check out amazing brands like ZYN, White Fox, Velo and many others!

Snus markets worldwide

The biggest snus market is Europe, thanks to Scandinavia consumers of course.

A fast growing snus market is the Middle East and also Africa. Snus consumption is about to increase in the region in the coming years.

People look for smoking alternatives and find them with snus/nicotine pouches.

Lyft and Now Velo are very popular Nicotines Pouches Brands especially with the Lyft Freeze X- Strong that become the Velo Freeze X-Strong

It’s safe to say that these products are considered as “reduced-risk” products. Products that keep you from harms way in the sense that you get your nicotine hit but you don’t inhale the cigarette smoke which is most detrimental.  These products are considered alternative tobacco and nicotine products, they permit the consumer to enjoy the intake of nicotine all while reducing the risk of damage to his health. There has been a strong surge of development and commercialization concerning these types of products; unlike the traditional snus which was streamed in the 18th century, all white pouches as well as nicotine pouches are more of the recent decades. 

All of this to say that, in this area of “reduced-risk” products … alternative tobacco and/or nicotine products we want to give you some content about some products in particular, these being EPOK, LYFT and VELO.

First and foremost it is important to know a little about the who concerning these products, their manufacturer is British American Tobacco (BAT). This company has been around since 1902 initially manufacturing and selling cigarettes and later other tobacco and nicotine products. BAT’s headquarters are in London, UK and is considered one of the largest manufacturers of tobacco products in the world.

The Snus a more healthy product

They started dabbing into the snus market in 2005 and quickly understood that getting into this market would be quite beneficial. “Creating a better tomorrow” they called it, addressing this slogan to the tobacco/nicotine consumer who is looking to use a “healthier”, “reduced-risk”, product.

After many ventures in the snus market, in 2017 when BAT bought Winnington AB they added EPOK to their repertoire. EPOK was reputed as a “healthier” snus, it was called a ALL-WHITE snus.

And Snus become Nicotine Pouches

This type of snus is a particular blend of natural fibers and tobacco making the pouch completely white and resulting in a low drip product. The technology behind the manufacturing of this ALL-WHITE pouch was very precise and researched so that they could provide a “high-quality healthy snus “ to snus consumers. That being said EPOK was very well received by snusers and was one of the favorite of its kind for as long as it lasted. Later on, EPOK was no longer being manufactured and was replaced by LYFT. This product is considered as nicotine pouches by definition, it contains no tobacco made out of natural fibers and of derived or synthetic nicotine. LYFT is a very successful nicotine product, it is the go-to product when looking for nicotine pouches. The consumer is provided with an array of flavors and strengths. It is the perfect replacement for EPOK and maybe an even better version. You may ask yourself by now, have they changed the product now that LYFT has been replaced by VELO ? What the deal with that ? Well it is quite simple actually, LYFT and VELO were simultaneously introduced to the market, however, LYFT to the European market and VELO to the US market. Seeing that both brands had an ample effect in both markets, BAT was brought to the decision of making a global brand and picking one of the brand names to represent both.

So much for keeping things simple ! There are constant changes in this industry, things are always shifting and products are always being introduced. This article about theses products in a small testimony of this but one thing is for sure all these changes and shifts are done for the utmost satisfaction of the consumer.

Nicotine pouches are a relatively new player in the smokeless tobacco world.  The beginnings of smokeless tobacco differs depending on the continent and culture.  For Swedes, smokeless tobacco took the form of Snus, cured and dried tobacco leaves to which flavourings such as salt, floral elements and salts were added. The mixture was then ground to create a thick mud like mixture.  In its infancy, snus only existed in loose form; ready-to-use portions are a thing of the modern area that developed with industrialization and machine processes.  Loose snus was therefore formed by hand into a “prilla” and placed between the upper lip and gums to release its flavours and tobacco.

Much has changed since those times although, for those who prefer the traditional taste of snus and the traditional loose format, there are many products on the market that are readily available such as Odens Original Loose Snus, General Classic Loose Snus, Ettan Loose Strong Swedish Snus, Kronan Original Loose Snus, Granit Original Loose Snus and more …

Snus in Modern Times

The industrial revolution brought with it the possibility to create ready-to-use snus portions. Original portions were and still are filled with snus that would normally be found in loose form.  So “why the portion?” you ask.  Well, for starters, modern times also brought with them the possibility to look and feel cleaner and polished.  

Back in the 17th century, when snus was invented,  bathing was done in public bathhouses and water was not readily available as it is today in personal homes through faucets. Perfume was also invented to cover up unsightly body odour since bathing was so rare. You can imagine that oral hygiene was also inexistant and therefore, loose snus was not seen as something unsightly and disgusting.  

Today, however, someone walking around with loose snus under their upper lip might look like a 17th century sailor, especially that snus is moist and can drip between teeth. 

Benefits of the Snus Portion

Discretion:  Snus portions give modern snus users the opportunity for discretion since the snus is nicely packed into a soft comfortable material-like paper pouch that holds the snus in its place.  With smoking being banned in practically all public places, smokeless tobacco has become increasingly popular partially due to its discretion, amongst other reasons that we describe and develop in other articles.   Since snus portions are a smokeless form of tobacco consumption, they can be used anywhere from class to work, on aeroplanes and even in restaurants, without anyone being any the wiser.

Convenience: Discarding a portion when you’re done with it is also a cleaner and more effective manner to get rid of all the snus in your mouth without any leftover particles. In addition, ready-made portions that are already weighed out and available to pop under the lip offer ease and practicality, not to mention keeping your fingers and nails clean.  

Loose vs Portion

If you had to compare between a portion snus and a loose snus that has identical strength and flavour, you would probably describe the portion snus flavour as more subdued and less bold. Both the flavour and nicotine would probably also not come through as fast as they would with loose snus. 

Still, some people may prefer loose snus to portion snus since it just feels more authentic and there is definitely a psychological component to using loose snus.  Loose snus also feels more up close and personal and for tobacco lovers, that’s often a must.   The taste is much bolder and deeper as compared to portion snus, since the tobacco is literally felt. 

In recent years, Swedish Match introduced a revolutionary product called ONE inspired by General Snus, a portion snus sporting a visibly thinner portion material that gets you as close to the tobacco as ever before. The result is a powerful taste experience snus users can only get until then with loose snus. The One line from Swedish Match essentially gives you more of everything: more tobacco, more taste, more nicotine.  

Nicotine Pouches: Why?

Now that you’ve got a pretty good idea about some of the similarities and differences between snus portions and loose snus, you’re ready to take it up a notch and discover the world of nicotine pouches.

Remember the benefits of the snus portion over loose snus?  Well, the same applies to nicotine pouches.  They are also conveniently packed into soft and comfortable material-like pouches that hold the contents in its place, and are weighed out and available to pop under the lip thereby offering ease and practicality.  In addition, they are also a form of smokeless nicotine consumption, although they are 100% tobacco free and can also be consumed anywhere and anytime with 100% discretion.  

Nicotine pouches do however offer added advantages to traditional snus portions.  For one, they won’t stain your teeth!  Seeing as they are completely free of any tobacco and contain only all white ingredients, including pharmaceutical grade nicotine salt, like ZYN nicotine pouches or plant derived nicotine that is taken directly from the tobacco plant.

A Wide Variety of Delicious Flavours 

Tobacco lovers may disagree but on top of staining teeth, tobacco contributes to bad breath and can leave a bad taste in your mouth.  Nicotine pouches, on the other hand, are delicious and come in a ton of juicy fruity flavours, minty fresh flavours, ice cream flavours and so much more…  

An Extra Measure of Discretion

Nicotine pouches, also referred to as nicopods, offer an extra measure of discretion since they are practically all slim portions and fit quite comfortably under the lip without creating a bulge.  

Wider Strength Variety

Nicotine pouches can also harbour quite large concentrations of nicotine without it affecting portion size since the ingredients they are stuffed with don’t take up as much volume as tobacco would.  

Although you may think some nicotine pouches contain sugar because they really taste sweet enough to be candy, they are actually completely sugar free and are sweetened with artificial sweeteners. 

Freshness

Since they contain no tobacco, a perishable plant product, nicotine pouches have a longer shelf life and will stay fresh longer than tobacco snus.  

They also won’t drip and grant you a longer lasting experience since their ingredients hold a lot less moisture and are packed into white portions that contribute to a gradual and effective release of flavours and nicotine. 

Finally, similarly to snus portions, nicotine pouches are ready-to-use and can easily be popped under the lip and discarded in an easy and clean manner.

Now you know why many snus users are switching to nicotine pouches. At Snusline we love reviews and comments so feel free to leave yours.

What is CBD, and why consume it in oil form? 

All this mystery around the CBD, let us reveal all to you …

CBD or cannabidiol is one of the many cannabinoids contained in hemp. It is simply a molecule extracted from hemp. CBD comes in crystals in its pure form but is often extracted as oil, making it more convenient to consume.

Mind you, CBD is not to be confused with THC. THC is one of the main molecules of cannabis. Its rate differs according to the plant’s varieties and the final product manufacturing. When we think of cannabis, we sometimes think of the “euphoric” effects that its consumption can bring. In reality, the consumption of THC (a psychoactive substance) produces this effect. Cannabidiol has no psychoactive effect. This is the reason it is legal in many countries and available in many products, including oils, which we will discuss.  

How to choose your CBD oil?

The most important factor when choosing CBD oil must always be quality. There are now many different brands of CBD oils, with significant differences in quality from one supplier to another.

Poor quality CBD oils may have a CBD content far lower than advertised on the label, may contain undesirable traces of THC, or contain heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria, or pathogenic fungi.

You should carefully select your brand of CBD oil to avoid any risk of inconvenience.

To guarantee impeccable quality and absolute safety, we chose to distribute exclusively products containing CBD manufactured by Happy Garden. This manufacturer produces one of the best quality CBD oils.

The cannabinoids in our CBD oils come from organic hemp plants which are legal to cultivate in Europe. CBD extraction is done in a laboratory and guarantees a final product of optimal quality. 

Our CBD oils are considered “full-spectrum” because they also contain small amounts of other cannabinoids as well as various aromatic terpenes from the hemp plant that enhance the effectiveness of CBD due to its surrounding effect. Our CBD oils contain only traces of THC and thus do not cause any psychotropic effect. 

A detailed technical sheet is available on each of our products and allows you to check the rates of cannabinoids and THC quickly.

What dosage of CBD oil to choose?

We propose CBD oils with six different concentrations to allow you to choose the one that suits you best: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 24%, or 30% of CBD (Cannabidiol); the most concentrated version is on MCT oil for maximum efficiency.

The correct dosage of CBD oil depends on the degree of necessity of the oils and on the consumer’s body weight. The dosage of your oil will be directly related to your weight and the severity of the symptoms you wish to treat. 

If your degree of necessity for these oils is low, you will need a daily dosage of 0.5mg of CBD per kilo. On the other hand, if it is a medium degree, it will be 1mg, and if you have a high degree, you can go up to 1.5mg of CBD per kilo.

In a bottle of CBD (10ml), you will find about 200 drops. So depending on your oil’s concentration, CBD content will differ. A drop of an oil at 10% will contain 5mg of CBD, while a drop of an oil at 30% will contain 15mg. It’s up to you to choose the right oil according to your needs. 

For example, a man weighing 75kg with an average degree of necessity of CBD will be able to use an oil at 15% and will be able to take a total of ten drops of oil a day, spread to 3 intakes a day. (1mg * 75kg = 75 mg/day – each drop contains 7.5mg of CBD hence 10 drops to obtain 75mg)  

The CBD oil acts as long as 6 to 8 hours. To get the most out of it, we advise you to consume it three times, for example, in the morning, midday, and the evening. However, you can adapt this rhythm according to your preferences and the results you obtain.  

In case you do not know your degree of necessity in CBD, here is a piece of advice : start by following the dosage corresponding to the low degree of CBD and your body weight.

Then increase this dosage gradually by one drop per day all while keeping the maximum limit dosage corresponding to your body weight

We take this opportunity to remind you that we do not have the competence nor the authorization to councel any medical or therapeutic use of CBD oils.

Thus it is necessary to consult your doctor on this subject, check with him about the possible contraindications with your state of health and the possible interactions of CBD with certain drugs.

How to use CBD oil?

Choosing a CBD oil means opting for a practical and compact format, which can be taken anywhere and consumed whenever you feel like it! You can consume CBD oil (Cannabidiol) by holding it under the tongue for about 60 seconds before swallowing. 

You can assimilate the cannabidiol primarily through the sublingual route, which is faster and more effective than the traditional oral route. Once you let it work, you can rinse your mouth and drink. The advantage of hemp oil is that there are many ways to consume it! For example, it is possible to add drops of CBD oil on a sugar cube, in yogurt, or any other type of food or drink. The effects will then be slower but also more durable. 

We supply Our CBD oils with a convenient integrated dropper and a cap on each bottle. We advise you to shake the bottle of CBD oil well before each use and keep it in a cool and dry place away from the light up until six months after opening it.

 

Headaches are a common symptom of many medical ailments.  

Sometimes headaches may just be annoying and sometimes they may be seriously painful. Whenever headaches last too long or are too strong, it is believed that they are caused by migraine.

As a matter of fact, most people who suffer from migraine headaches will refer to their headache as a “migraine”, simply put.

Migraine is a chronic condition.  The most common treatment for migraine is often prescription drugs which must be prescribed by doctors since they are stronger than OTC medications. Typically called painkillers, they hardly live up to their name.  Patients often find themselves needing to increase the dosage due to the eventual ineffectiveness of these drugs.

In addition, prescription drugs can cause terrible side effects. Side effects such as drowsiness, sleepiness, reduced appetite and more.  Often they also end up being impossible to acquire or costing a fortune because medical insurers often fail to recognize these pains as real or legitimate. 

This is where CBD comes in. CBD, cannabidiol, is a derivative of the cannabis plant.  It is one of two key elements in the cannabis plant, along with THC.  However, unlike THC, it will not make you “high” since it is not psychoactive.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid systems in the body.  It is not well known how these systems work but by interacting with the body’s cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), CBD can affect the body’s immune system.  

An example of such an interaction is the way the body metabolizes anandamide, a compound connected to pain regulation. CBD may inhibit this interaction thus reducing feelings of pain.

CBD is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties.  Inflammation in the body can also cause pain and its reduction, by the use of CBD, can help alleviate inflammatory pain and other symptoms triggered by the immune system.  With all the research that has been done until today, more research is needed to begin to fully understand how CBD works and how it interacts with different processes in the body thus affecting a person’s overall health; and more specifically, how it affects the body’s pain regulation systems. 

What are the best CBD products for migraine sufferers?

The best CBD for migraine sufferers are broad spectrum and full spectrum CBD because of the entourage effect.  The entourage effect is the beneficial effect that is felt from the interaction between CBD and the other cannabis plant extracts it is “surrounded” by.  These components interact with each other to deliver the best results you can expect from your CBD.  Full spectrum CBD is the least refined form of CBD so you get the maximum benefit of all the compounds working together. Full spectrum CBD can contain up to 0.2% THC, which is very little, and will not have any psychotropic effect.  Broad spectrum CBD is pretty much the same as the full spectrum but is refined to contain only trace amounts of THC and can be more suitable for children as a result, although the effect may be slightly reduced.

At Snusline we carry Happy Garden CBD, boasting the highest quality CBD products suitable to treat migraine pain and help you improve your quality of life.

CBD Gummies and CBD oil can both be used to treat migraine pain. CBD gummies are flavorful and fun to eat and can safely be taken many times a day.  This, along with the fact that they need to first be digested before reaching your bloodstream, will result in a longer lasting CBD experience compared to CBD oil.  The extended effect of CBD candy over time can be an advantage to treating migraines since they can often last many hours and even days.

CBD oil is administered using a dropper under the tongue.  This area is rich in blood vessels and is ready to absorb the CBD into your bloodstream fairly quickly, a clear advantage when you need to treat an escalating migraine.  You can chose to alternate between these two CBD products depending on your need and preference.  The choice is yours.

 

 

Who wouldn’t want to get rid of those unsightly acne pimples and have clear, beautiful skin?

What is Acne?

Acne is the medical term used to describe the skin condition that is characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and more.  

Acne often comes about as a result of excessively oily skin; the oil glands in the skin produce oil that ends up blocking the skin’s pores where the hair follicles grow. Sometimes bacteria on the surface of the skin also causes acne by entering the skin’s pores causing inflammation which is presented as a pimple on the skin’s surface.

Acne is not only a teenage problem, although many teenagers do have acne as a result of hormonal changes that affect the production of sebum in the skin.

How is acne treated?

Acne treatments include facial cleansers, masks and topical creams meant to dry out the excess oil and as a result clear the problem.  Other treatments include facials to unblock and clean out pores so as to remove the presence of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads as well as the use of antibiotics to reduce the bacteria on the skin, in the case of moderate to severe acne.  People are always looking for other natural, easy and effective ways to treat their acne.  

This is where CBD comes in. CBD, cannabidiol, is a derivative of the cannabis plant.  It is one of two key elements in the cannabis plant, along with THC.  However, unlike THC, it will not make you “high” since it is not psychoactive.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid systems in the body.  It is not well known how these systems work but by interacting with the body’s cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), CBD can affect the body’s immune system. 

How can CBD help treat acne?

CBD can help you treat your acne topically thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. CBD also acts as an antioxidant and helps your skin regulate its sebum-producing glands so as to reduce the amount of oil present in your skin and reducing the potential for acne to develop.

For people with sensitive skin or allergic reactions to retinol or benzoyl peroxide, the ingredients in many acne skincare products, CBD can make a huge difference in the treatment and resolution of their acne problem:  CBD oil will not dry out the skin and will protect it from harmful bacteria with its antimicrobial properties.  It soothes irritated and inflamed skin, and reduces the pain associated with such inflammation and is a gentler and safer treatment for many different skin types.  CBD oil used topically acts as a  hydrating agent that will rebalance your skin’s sebum production while calming any acne symptoms that are present and preventing any future symptoms. 

In short, CBD has revolutionised skincare and has given hope to acne sufferers across the board. 

 

 

Depression is a mood disorder characterised by low mood, lethargy and sometimes even anger and physical pain.  Depression can even affect a person’s sleep, their ability to concentrate and their appetite/weight.  

Oftentimes, depression can present itself with anxiety and the person can feel overwhelmed, extremely stressed and at times, paranoid.

None of these symptoms make it easy to live a normal life with all of its physical and emotional challenges. 

Managing anxiety and depression requires learning strategies, typically through a  therapist.  The application of these techniques requires effort and discipline. It must be really insisted upon by the person suffering from depression to be effective and help in achieving some normalcy in daily life.

Treatments may include:

Therapy: CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), mindfulness and problem-solving therapy amongst others.

Medication: for example, antidepressants and mood stabilisers. 

Alternative therapies: hypnotherapy, acupuncture and natural supplements.

In recent years, advanced technology has allowed scientists to isolate the benefits of cannabis, without any of its shortcomings. 

The result is CBD, an innovative and natural substance that is increasingly being recognised for all of its wonderful properties, including managing symptoms of depression, smoke-free and without the need for a prescription, contrary to antidepressants and mood stabilisers, and without the risk of addiction and side-effects of prescription medications; without mentioning the difficulties of acquiring them through medical insurance.

CBD, cannabidiol, is a derivative of the cannabis plant.  It is one of two key elements in the cannabis plant, along with THC.  However, unlike THC, it will not make you “high” since it is not psychoactive.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid systems in the body.  It is not well known how these systems work but by interacting with the body’s cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), CBD can affect the body’s immune system and contribute positively to overall health and increased well-being.

In 2019, one third of worldwide deaths were caused by heart disease and stroke, and over the last 30 years, statistics have shown a climb in deaths attributable to both. 

There are many risk factors to heart disease such as unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity and stress.  

Stress plays a crucial role on our overall well being and can be a leading cause in developing health problems like diabetes, heart problems and high blood pressure.  

There is good news!

CBD can help you keep your heart in good shape and prevent heart disease.  CBD, Cannabidiol, is a derivative and one of two key elements in the cannabis plant, along with THC.  However, unlike THC, it will not make you “high” since it is not psychoactive.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid systems in the body.  It is not well known how these systems work but by interacting with the body’s cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), CBD can affect the body’s immune system and contribute positively to overall health and increased well-being.

CBD has already shown to help alleviate anxiety and to reduce cortisol levels that contribute to the feeling of stress that can lead to heart problems and stroke. 

CBD can help in the prevention of stroke due to its antioxidant properties and its capability to dilate vascular arteries that provide blood flow to the brain.  

A 2010 review has found that CBD, when given to patients of stroke, helped in the prevention of brain damage by increasing blood flow to the brain and also served as an aid to boosting brain function on the road to recovery. 

Other virtues of CBD are its anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the risk of developing heart disease as a result of high blood pressure. Some research has shown that CBD has the ability to lower blood pressure and heart rate in stressful situations.  

In addition, CBD has been shown to have a positive effect on many experimental models of various heart diseases where it decreased organ damage and dysfunction and reduced inflammatory processes among many more.

Research on the benefits of CBD on the heart and the vascular system as well as on the brain is still in its infancy, although it shows promise from what we’ve already observed.

Pain Relief

Many people around the world suffer from chronic pain every single day of their lives.  Unfortunately, living with pain becomes their new reality.  Sometimes the pain is so constant that they unfortunately no longer believe it will ever change and they will ever feel pain free and normal again.  

Chronic pain disconnects people from themselves because they cannot perform many of the tasks or any of the activities they once were able to accomplish and once enjoyed.  Essentially, people who live with chronic pain feel disconnected from life and from their family and friends since their days often revolve around treating their pain or suffering in silence.  

Sadly the person they once were and the life they once enjoyed becomes a thing of the past.  They become a new person and feel no connection to the life they once lived.

Until recently, pain management has only been possible through prescription drugs, medical cannabis and alternative therapies with each of these alternative solutions presenting a variety of challenges:

Prescription Drugs:  The most common treatment for chronic pain.  Must be prescribed by doctors for medications that contain stronger drugs  than OTC medications. Typically called painkillers, they hardly live up to their name.  Patients often find themselves needing to increase the dosage due to the eventual ineffectiveness of these drugs.

In addition, prescription drugs can cause terrible side effects. Side effects such as drowsiness, sleepiness, reduced appetite and more.  Often they also end up being impossible to acquire or costing a fortune because medical insurers often fail to recognize these pains as real or legitimate. 

Medical cannabis:  This treatment is not easily accessible and usually approved only after years of suffering and unsuccessful treatments, though some patients feel it helps.  In addition, there are side effects to its usage and it’s not always suitable for all medical ailments. Also, medical cannabis is smoked and releases THC into the bloodstream, a psychoactive ingredient that can create states of altered consciousness and make it very difficult to function normally at home and at work.  

Alternative Therapies:  Some patients prefer alternatives to traditional medical treatment. They use therapies such as mindfulness and acupuncture but often get only partial relief and continue suffering.

Finally, prescription medications and medical cannabis can both lead to addiction.

Although this all rings as hopeless and is barely considered pain management in the real sense of the term, there does exist a way to help people who suffer from chronic pain and enable them to live a better quality of life and a happier life, with less pain.

A balanced life, in which the problems and pains may not disappear completely, but may be lived in a much better manner. 

For a few hours each day,  life can go back to normal and to  what it once was. 

Anyone who has done their research, consulted with doctors and other knowledgeable people on the matter, may discover that there is an innovative and natural option to overcome pain.

A new technology that allows to isolate the benefits of cannabis, without any of its shortcomings. 

A possibility to take the best ingredient in cannabis and use it for all of its wonderful properties, including pain management, smoke-free and without the need for a prescription.

Why is sleep an important part of our overall daily routine? 

The lack of sleep or good quality sleep can affect not only our sleepless nights but our daily activities as well.  This is why a good night’s sleep is an important part of a healthy and balanced life.  As adults, we need energy throughout the day to accomplish our daily tasks and to live our lives happily and efficiently.  Sleep is an important part of the equation that will help us live optimally balanced lives.   Lack of sleep can affect our mood by making us irritable and impatient.  We can have trouble focusing and lack the energy needed to perform our daily activities. 

In the long run, sleep deprivation can cause other health issues, especially in children. Children who lack sleep can show reduced brain development and develop learning difficulties. Studies show that children who lack proper sleep can also suffer from emotional issues and weight problems.  Lack of sleep can cause children to feel tired and weak and can make them more susceptible to disease as a result of their weakened immune system and give them a longer and harder recovery time if they do get sick.  All these problems can also occur in adults as a result of sleep deprivation. The importance of a good night’s sleep has never been more recognized than in our day and age.  

 

What has been done to help people suffering with sleep problems?

With so many people suffering from insomnia and other sleep disorders such as REM sleep behaviour disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness disorder,  it is no wonder scientists have been working tirelessly to find a solution to the problem. 

As a result, sleep solutions have taken many different forms throughout the years such as sleeping pills, acupuncture, and lately, mindfulness.  

Sleeping pills do actually work to put people to sleep and help them sleep through the night.  However, they also cause grogginess after awakening the next day and can hardly be considered a solution to the problem since they indirectly affect daily functioning negatively.  Mindfulness on the other hand can positively affect a person’s overall well being and help them have an effective and restful sleep through the night.  However, mindfulness requires learning certain techniques and not all people can invest time and effort into making it work.

This is where CBD comes in. 

Anyone who has done their research, consulted with doctors and other knowledgeable people on the matter, may discover a better night’s sleep with the help of cannabidiol, also known as CBD.  CBD is the second most common substance among the active ingredients in cannabis, and is unique in that it has a beneficial effect on the brain. CBD helps the various systems in the brain to communicate with each other, generally improving bodily functions.

As opposed to the first most common substance known as THC, which has a psychotropic effect on the brain, CBD is non-psychotropic.  

The World Health Organisation ruled as early as 2019 that CBD is safe to use, has no side effects and is not addictive at all.  

CBD is a powerful substance that has calming properties:

• • Reduces anxiety and stress by binding with serotonin receptors responsible for regulating mood, emotions and stress levels.  
  • Reduces cortisol levels and helps regulate dopamine levels thus increasing the amount of time the body spends in REM sleep.
  • Relieves muscle aches and other aches and pains thus promoting quality sleep.

For some years now Cannabidiol has been popular in the world of well-being.  CBD is known as a natural herbal supplement, with low side effects, it can be used with very few contraindications and at any age.

CBD and students

Being a student is not easy. In fact, it can be quite stressful. Finding a healthy balance between studies, friends, and the financial aspect of a students life are the main challenges. That’s where CBD can be useful, it gives the student a boost and helps to deal with the pressures and stress of daily life.

CBD and concentration

CBD is useful in relaxing and reducing stress, it also helps a person to concentrate and focus on what he needs to do. Thus, when the mind is calmer, the learning capacity increases and the student has better learning results. It surely has a positive effect on students and the ones which use CBD see great results with their studies!

CBD and Sleep

For students, maintaining a healthy sleeping routine is very important. Still, insomnia and sleeping problems are very common among students. This is often caused by the daily pressures and unhealthy lifestyles of students. Using CBD on the short or long term will help balancing their nights, and also improve the quality of the sleep. That way the student will be more productive during the next day.

CBD and Mental Health

The daily pressure that students experience can be harmful to their mental health, students often suffer from anxiety or depression which can get worse and have long term effects. CBD is known to have a very positive effect on the mind and by using it regularly, the student will be able to cope with the daily challenges and stabilize the mind.

Choose the CBD product that is best suited to your situation, as far as oils are concerned we recommend starting with low dosages (500mg oil) and testing over about 2 weeks with 2 doses of 3 to 6 drops per dose.

If this does not work well enough for you, you must gradually increase the concentration of CBD (1000mg then 1500mg, etc..) until you find the right dose and start seeing the positive effects on your daily life. Using CBD varies from person to person so it is important to find the correct dose that has the right effects for you!

A discovery about CBD by chance

COVID-19 has caused a real tidal wave on a planetary scale. Practically no country has escaped it and besides the economic disaster it has caused, it is also a health disaster.

More and more studies are being done on COVID-19 and the impact that all sorts of substances could have and among them are more and more studies on the effects of the consumption of Cannabis, and more specifically CBD, on the virus.

Researchers have found that CBD increases the antiviral response of our system.

Cells in the lungs and digestive tract have the ability to activate innate immune responses when they detect the presence of a virus, this reaction is triggered long before the immune system intervenes, it is our first line of defense and is essential in the fight against the disease.

In the case of COVID-19, this first line of defense does not play its role and the virus crosses the enemy lines unhindered, resulting in a high infection rate.

If these cells in the lungs and in our digestive system have not yet come into contact with the virus, the consumption of CBD improves the action of these cells which regain their immune capacity on COVD-19 as well. Researchers realized this in a study conducted on people with a rare form of epilepsy who were treated with a CBD-containing medication.

These people were seen to decrease their chance of contracting the COVID virus.

Study of the effect of CBD on COVID-19

The study was then extended to healthy patients who regularly consume CBD and the same conclusions were made, again the rate of infections was lower than in people who do not consume CBD.

Make your choice from our wide selection of CBD products.

Thanks to its calming and anti-inflammatory benefits, cannabidiol, better known as CBD, comes in different forms.

It can be found in body lotions. According to numerous studies, the compound derived from cannabis (which is not THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis) could help relieve pain and promote relaxation.

More and more American hotels are taking advantage of this windfall and using CBD-based cosmetic products on behalf of their customers.

Balms and oils.

Spas use CBD products such as oils and lotions in their list of treatments. Applying these products to the skin has a warming effect that relieves stiff joints and muscle tension.

You can also book a CBD Regeneration massage, often done using a mixture of CBD oil and exfoliating scrubs.

For those who prefer hydrotherapy, we offer baths in which CBD oils are infused.

CBD Edible

Some hotel establishments offer a variety of products to enjoy such as apple-flavored CBD gummies, passion fruit, and many other flavors. A way to combine relaxation and well-being with the pleasure of the mouth.

You can also find other uses of CBD such as serving you a coffee with a few drops of CBD oil or an infusion enhanced by CBD flowers, and a relaxing cup before sleeping.

As people struggle with their weight, diets are one of the most popular ways to attempt shedding those extra pounds.  Here are some examples of diets, just to name a few:  the Keto diet, the military diet, the Atkins diet, intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, juice cleansing and the list goes on.  

Other ways to lose weight include B12 injections, natural supplements, exercise and meal replacement plans.

The diet and weight loss industry is about a 70 billion dollar industry in the US.  In the UK,  60% of women and  68% of men struggle with weight problems ranging from overweight to obesity, and the numbers just keep increasing for all age groups, from children to adults.

If the weight loss industry is so big, then why do these numbers keep rising? Shouldn’t there be a reverse effect as people start losing weight and no longer require weight loss programs? 

The answer is quite simple: As big an industry as it is, the success rate rests at barely 5%, meaning that people rarely reach their goals.  What this means is that the supposed solutions offered by the weight loss industry don’t really work.  

This is where CBD comes in as a support to weight loss.  

CBD acts as an appetite reducer and by how it affects the body’s endocannabinoid system. There are 2 types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2.  CB1 affects the brain and central nervous system, while CB2 mainly affects the immune system.

The CB1 receptors in people with obesity are more widespread.  Researchers believe that this may be the reason why there may be a link between CB1 receptors and obesity. Examples of metabolic disorders that are linked to obesity include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol.  

As a result, the overactivation of CB receptors in the body may be at least partially responsible for these disorders.  When CBD binds with these CB receptors, it triggers a metabolic response that is likely to provoke weight loss.

At Snusline we carry Happy Garden CBD, boasting the highest quality CBD products suitable to help you lose the weight you want without any of the side effects of weight loss drugs and without complicated meal plans and workout routines.

Concentration is our mind’s ability to get us to focus and exert mental effort.  It’s what allows us to think clearly and accomplish the tasks we need throughout our day in every aspect of our lives.  

As students and in the workplace, concentration can make the difference between performing poorly or effectively, and producing the results we need to be successful.

Today’s faced-paced world has increased the requirements to think effectively and efficiently.  High-stress jobs put a lot of pressure and deadline requirements on people across different industries. Poor concentration can affect performance at school and at work and can be explained by a lack of sleep, stress, ADHD and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.  All these can disrupt a person’s ability to focus and can cause a person to feel confused and forgetful which can seriously disrupt daily activities.

CBD can help in achieving the alertness needed to focus and concentrate. A National Institutes of Health study from 2018 showed that CBD may promote the growth of new neurons in the brain and aid in the treatment of these mental health issues thus calming the mind and having a stabilising effect on mood.

The best products to help you focus are CBD oils.

If you are new to this product, we advise you to start with CBD Oil 1000mg with 2 doses of 4 drops (during meals) in the morning and evening.

Observe the changes in your body and their effects on your concentration.

If you do not feel any change you can increase the dose to 6 drops per dose.

If you still don’t feel any effect choose a product like CBD oil 2000mg stronger.

Do not worry, there is no risk of overdose.

Nowadays, it is merely impossible to find anyone who doesn’t know someone who has had cancer or who’s family member or friend has battled cancer. 

Cancer is a reality many people live with and represents over a hundred diseases. 

Cancer can develop anywhere in the body and is what happens when a group of abnormal cells start reproducing at a fast rate.  Cancer cells eventually spread into healthy tissue and hijack the blood vessels that supply vitality to these tissues.  

Cancer patients undergo many painful treatments in an attempt to kill cancer cells, halt tumour growth and prevent the spread of cancer in the body.

A 2019 study showed that the effect of different medications administered in the fight against cancer can be enhanced by using CBD in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments, giving cancer patients renewed hope.

Some research has shown that CBD can help with the symptoms of chemotherapy and can even slow cancer cell growth and the development of blood cells needed for tumour cells to grow. 

CBD oil can help relieve the pain associated with cancer and cancer treatments and calm the body’s reaction to chemotherapy.  Certain drugs that are available for calming nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy don’t work for some cancer patients.  CBD oil is a good alternative for these patients and can help alleviate some of the symptoms of the cancer treatment.

If you are undergoing cancer treatments, you should speak to your oncologist before taking CBD oil or any other form of treatment.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by seizures.  People who suffer from epilepsy have increased electrical brain activity that causes these seizures and are treated with drugs in an attempt to control them.

Some people with epilepsy live with uncontrolled seizures due to their body’s drug resistance or to the type of seizures they suffer from.  For such individuals, CBD is a long awaited alternative to the treatment of epileptic seizures. 

CBD is the second most common substance among the active ingredients in cannabis, and is unique in that it has a beneficial effect on the brain. CBD helps the various systems in the brain to communicate with each other, generally improving bodily functions.

CBD binds with neuroreceptors, GPR55 and TRPV1, in the brain’s endocannabinoid system thereby reducing neuron excitability, animal research shows, and contributing to an anti-seizure effect.  

If you are already using medical cannabis to control your seizures, CBD can enhance the effects.

As one study suggested in 2018, “CBD-rich cannabis extracts were actually more effective at reducing seizures than pure CBD.”(…) “However, as the authors pointed out, this will have to be explored by more study before any conclusions can be drawn.”

With conditions such as epilepsy, it is important to first consult your doctor before making any decision regarding adding CBD to your existing treatment plan.  A qualified neurologist can best advise and guide you as he/she is the specialist on drug interactions and can also track the frequency of your seizures to see whether there has been progress since adding CBD to your regimen. 

Joint pain is a symptom that is associated with a variety of diseases and medical ailments, arthritis being one of the most common causes.  The two main forms of arthritis, according to the American College of Rheumatology, are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  Rheumatoid arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disorder while osteoarthritis is attributable to wearing down of the tissues surrounding the joint and is usually a natural occurrence in middle age for a large number of people.

When joint pain comes about as a result of injury and the like, it is likely to go away on its own.  However, with arthritis, the pain doesn’t usually go away; it becomes chronic, lasting weeks, months and sometimes years….

In any case, the pain can be debilitating and very difficult to live with.

People suffering from joint pain often take over the counter medications very frequently to manage their pain. These types of medications can lead to an irritation of the stomach lining and even bleeding in the stomach and digestive tract which can become very serious and life threatening.  Other options for treating the pain include prescription medications, mind-body techniques, physical therapy, acupuncture and in extreme cases, surgery.

All of these different treatments for joint pain may help alleviate the pain and allow for increased mobility with alternative therapies often being less effective in helping with stronger pain.  Surgery carries its risks and prescription medications have a bunch of unwanted side-effects such as drowsiness, sleepiness, reduced appetite and more.  

So what can be done instead to aid in the management of joint pain and alleviate the symptoms? 

Whether chronic or not, there is an innovative and natural option to overcoming joint pain; a new technology that isolates the benefits of cannabis, without any of its shortcomings but, rather, for all of its wonderful properties, including pain management in general and joint pain management in particular: CBD. 

This amazing natural substance is smoke-free and can be acquired without the need for a prescription.  CBD can help mild to intense pain, depending on the need and has been suggested to help in the treatment of inflammatory pain associated with arthritis.

 

Anyone who’s ever been exposed to anyone suffering from Alzheimer’s knows what a terrible and devastating disease it is.  

Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease that shrinks the brain and kills off healthy brain cells.  The symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease are amnesia, characterised by memory loss and dementia ranging from mild to severe.  In the beginning stages of the disease, individuals with Alzheimer’s may have a hard time retaining newly acquired information.  They may have a hard time completing complex tasks that require proper thinking abilities such as making financial decisions or planning an event.   

Family and friends will often feel that their loved one is no longer the same person they’ve known all these years and that they have been replaced with someone else…

As the disease progresses, individuals with Alzheimer’s will grow to be even more forgetful and confused, often misplacing belongings and getting lost in search of familiar surroundings.  With time, they may experience even greater memory loss and try to fill the gaps with made-up stories.   

In the later stages of Alzheimer’s, individuals may even require assistance with personal care, as dressing, bathing and using the bathroom may no longer be tasks they can accomplish alone. They may also become unable to walk without assistance.  In the final stage of the disease, individuals may lose control over their muscles and voluntary movement, making walking, sitting, swallowing and performing any bodily task on their own practically impossible.

In short, Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease and any treatment that can stop the disease’s progression is a revolution in the medical field since there hasn’t really been much hope up until today.  

Though research has been limited, a 2019 study has shown that CBD 

can return lost hope to Alzheimer’s patients by showing an improvement in behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, such as sleep problems and depression.

 

The White Fox Snus New Clothes

Nicotine pouches burst onto the snus scene in 2018 as a powerful alternative to both snus and traditional smoking. Since then, many tobacco-free White Fox Snus brands have appeared. They offer an alternative for snus fans and gain popularity in areas with tobacco sale restrictions.

Nicotine Pouches vs. Snus

Nicotine pouches, like White Fox pouches, closely resemble snus in every aspect except for the absence of tobacco.

White Fox pouches, as tobacco-free options, provide clean and untainted flavors without any tobacco taste that can be present in traditional snus. However, for those who enjoy the distinct aroma and flavor of tobacco-centric snus, nicotine pouches cannot entirely substitute snus.

Not All Snus Is Created Equal

Let’s first explore the origins of Swedish Oral Tobacco before delving into what makes the “General One” series so exceptional.

The story of oral tobacco began solely with loose products.

Initially, Swedish Tobacco emerged as a damp, ground tobacco powder that required hand-shaping, a process known as handbaking in snus circles. The original snus, which dates back to 16th-century Sweden, has undergone significant transformations. Modern snus is now available in pre-prepared portions, featuring various portion types and sizes.

From Loose to Portion

The invention of the snus portion has taken the snus world by storm and has become the more popular means of consuming snus, although some will say nothing beats the feeling of getting up close and personal with your favorite loose snus.  

For those who have used portion snus, it’s clear that the portion material acts as a barrier between the user and the snus, which can be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on personal preferences. Original portion materials enable a quick release of snus flavor and nicotine, providing near-instant gratification. However, when compared to loose snus, the experience with snus portions can be somewhat restricted by the presence of the portion material.

Too Close for Comfort?

General ONE series, by Swedish Match, launched in 2017 under the General and Göteborgs Rapé brands and included three new snus products: ONE Vit (White), ONE Svart (Black) and ONE Gul (Yellow).  The creation of these original ONE snus products came about from a year-long collaboration between Swedish Match and Alexander Gustafsson, a Swedish professional mixed martial artist, with a great taste in snus.  Alexander Gustafsson wanted to create the perfect snus that would satisfy his tastes; a strong and flavorful tobacco-centric snus packed in a full-sized pouch.

General One Series is a Team Effort Results

The fusion of Alexander’s preferences and Swedish Match’s cutting-edge web-like material led to the ideal snus portion experience. This innovation fulfilled the desires of loose-snus-lovers, who had been seeking such an experience since the inception of portion snus.Along with new pouch material, a total of 14 different types of tobacco were used to create the ONE products contributing to a powerful taste experience with an immediate flavor and nicotine release that can only be dreamt of by portion users until the creation of ONE. 

The ONE line presents snus users with an unmatched connection to their snus, distinct from any other portion found in the market. In fact, it supplies an extraordinary and innovative snus experience, similar to that of loose snus. Nevertheless, the convenience and ease associated with the ONE line are achievable exclusively through the employment of a portion pouch.

ONE is the perfect compromise between loose snus and portion snus.  It is an innovation in mouthfeel and in the speed of delivery of flavor and nicotine. 

The General ONE Brand 

In 2020, Swedish Match re-introduced the ONE line. Prior to this, the products were part of the General and Göteborgs Rapé family of offerings.

ONE has since become an independent brand, offering a diverse range of flavors :

• General ONE Vit (White)
• General ONE Svart (Black)
• General ONE Gul (Yellow)

They are influenced by the classic, full-bodied tobacco flavors characteristic of General snus.

Conversely :

• General ONE Blå (Blue)
• General ONE Grön (Green)
• General ONE Röd (Red)

derive their inspiration from the complex taste profiles of Göteborgs Rapé. These latter flavors evoke the essence of Sweden’s lush forests, brimming with delectable berries and fragrant flora.

The ONE Revolution

In terms of price, the ONE series falls into the ‘modern premium’ category, which is somewhere between Swedish Match’s premium products and value snus products. Essentially, ONE provides users of snus with superior quality products at affordable prices.  

ONE revolutionized the snus industry by fostering a unique connection between users and their snus. They achieved this through their innovative web-like material. This material allowed them to offer portion snus without sacrificing affordability, potency, or flavor and nicotine release. Essentially, ONE strikes a balance by delivering a premium portion snus experience at a cost-effective, value snus price. Simultaneously, it upholds the advantages characteristic of a superior loose snus product.

What is Snus?

The market for oral tobacco is rapidly growing and it’s important to understand what is snus, its origins and why it’s gaining popularity.

Snus originated in 16th century Sweden.  It is a smokeless tobacco product and had only been available before then to European aristocrats.  Kings, queens and people of higher society were already enjoying the Swedish snuff when no one had even heard of it!

The rise in popularity of snus and its accessibility to the working class came later on, in the 19th century.  It also became accessible to the market at large at that point in time.  Original Swedish snus is as a loose grind of tobacco leaves dried and cured through a fermentation process. The next step in the snus production process requires adding flavor to the fermented tobacco leaves. Original smokeless tobacco flavorings such as salt, pepper, bergamot and floral elements are still part of the manufacturing process today.  Modern snus has, however, undergone many changes.  Some of these changes include the introduction of new flavors and the development of the modern snus portion.

Today’s Snus

Lots has changed since the first days of moist snuff in the ports of Sweden.  Different portion formats and innovative materials are still making their way into the snus market today.  However, before the emergence of modern manufacturing processes, moist snuff was only available in a single format: loose.  “Lös”, in Swedish, means loose and that word can be found on many a snus can.

In any case, the original users of oral tobacco would form the loose by hand (handbake) into a “prilla”. A “prilla” is a snus portion in Swedish and was the only way to consume oral tobacco before industrial processes came into existence.

In the 1970s ready-made portions made their way onto the oral tobacco market expanding the scope of users. Oral tobacco in portion is packed into material-like bags which can simply be placed under the upper lip, exactly like loose snus.  Portion snus quickly became the cleaner, more aesthetic manner and more popular way of using snus. Loose snus, however, is still available these days for people who want to control the amount of tobacco they use in a single dose and who prefer using snus in its original, traditional loose format.

Today’s smokeless tobacco is massively manufactured. Hundreds of snus products are readily available in a variety of formats, flavors and strengths.

As a result, Swedish manufacturers, such as Swedish Match, have implemented environmentally safe processes without compromising their high standards of quality.

Uncompromising Quality

Manufacturing processes have undoubtedly changed the way we consume snus. However, the essence of the product has remained the same: a high-quality smokeless form of tobacco blended from the finest tobacco leaves spread across the four corners of the world. The result is a tobacco product of uncompromising quality that provides an experience of wonderful aromas and rich tastes.

Health Concerns

In today’s world, health risks, such as respiratory diseases associated with cigarettes, have transformed snus into a smokeless alternative to smoking.  Those who want to quit smoking can still enjoy the taste of tobacco with snus.  They can also get their nicotine fix without the harmful effects of smoking on their health. A research from Harm Reduction Journal discovered that snus presents a much lower risk in regards to causing respiratory diseases compared to other tobacco-based products such as cigarettes, cigars and pipes, among other means of smoking. Sweden, one of the first countries to make the switch from smoking to the Swedish snuff, is considered as the European country with the least tobacco-related mortality rate.  It can surely serve as an example to the rest of the world.
