Snus is a tobacco product (pouch) which the user places in the mouth between the gum and cheek. No combustion is involved. Once in place, the saliva and general moistness of the mouth work to release the nicotine into the system. This process does not require any form of combustion. For other smokeless tobacco products try the [[SLT]] page. | Snus is a tobacco product (pouch) which the user places in the mouth between the gum and cheek. No combustion is involved.

Using data on tobacco-related mortality across the EU, and applying the Swedish mortality data to other EU countries, it has been calculated that among men over the age of 30, 355,000 lives per year could have been saved if the other EU countries had matched Sweden’s tobacco-related mortality rate. | Using data on tobacco-related mortality across the EU, and applying the Swedish mortality data to other EU countries, it has been calculated that among men over the age of 30, 355,000 lives per year could have been saved if the other EU countries had matched Sweden’s tobacco-related mortality rate. | ||

* Among men who reported life-time experience with both products, a large majority had initiated their tobacco use with cigarettes. | |||
* The average number of cigarettes smoked weekly was lower among dual users compared with current smokers who were former snus users or had never used snus. | |||
* During the period 2003–15 in Norway, which has a mature snus market, even though smoking has declined and the relative size of the category of never-smokers among male users of snus has increased, the majority of snus users are still former or current smokers. | |||

* While most snus users among older women were former or current smokers, this was not the case among younger women. | |||
* The correlates of female snus use and smoking were not identical, and were similar to those previously documented for men. | |||
* Female snus use was positively associated with intermediate education, alcohol consumption, number of sexual partners, and hard physical activity. | |||
* Smoking was also positively associated with alcohol consumption and number of sexual partners, but negatively associated with physical activity and education. | |||

* In the mature snus market of Norway, the magnitude of dual use of cigarettes and snus is relatively small. | |||
* Dual users consume fewer cigarettes, and a higher proportion portray themselves as smoke-free in the future than do exclusive cigarette smokers. | |||
