Are you allowed to use snus at work?
Whether you can use snus at work is a question that many snus users may ask themselves. This is a somewhat ambiguous topic, and the answers vary depending on the workplace. Here, we will go over the general rules and what you need to consider about using snus at work.
Tobacco ban during working hours
According to the Law on Tobacco and Similar Products, which primarily focuses on limiting smoking to protect people from exposure to tobacco smoke, there are no specific bans on using snus in the workplace. This is because snus, unlike smoking, does not involve smoke emissions and, therefore, does not expose others to secondhand smoke. However, employers, as part of their responsibility for the work environment, can decide to introduce their own rules or restrictions regarding the use of snus at work if deemed necessary to maintain a good working environment or out of consideration for other employees. Such decisions would be based on the employer’s policies rather than directly on the law regarding tobacco and similar products.
Thus, it is permissible for employers to introduce a ban on using snus at work, though they cannot impose sanctions such as fines or similar punishments.
Tobacco during breaks
Employers do not have the right to control your free time, and you are always entitled to at least one break during a five-hour workday. Breaks, which are unpaid, are considered free time, which means you are allowed to leave the workplace premises and use snus. There is no exact duration specified for breaks, but the Swedish Work Environment Authority recommends that breaks be at least 30 minutes long.
Avoid smoke smell with IQOS
When a cigarette is burned, it can reach up to 800 degrees Celsius, releasing smoke that smells unpleasant and can linger in the surroundings. IQOS is an alternative to smoking that uses HeatControl technology instead of combustion. The tobacco is heated in a controlled manner to a temperature below 350 degrees Celsius, producing vapor instead of tobacco smoke. This allows you to get the authentic tobacco flavor and nicotine, without fire, ash, or the problem of lingering smoke odor.
