What’s the difference between white snuff, white portion snuff and nicotine bags?

White snuff/All White Portion

White snuff, also known as All white portion, is a kind of snuff which entirely white. The white color is due to the fact that the tobacco has been washed in a patented process multiple times. Consequently, the traditional brown color and the tobacco smell have been dissolved. The tobacco is mixed with e.g. plant fiber, and compressed into cellulose fiber tubes. These tubes are split into small portions, which is the white snuff.

White snuff is at times referred to as All white portion. Since the portions are completely dry, it may take a while until the taste and effect of the nicotine can be experienced. These pinches of snuff are less runny than the traditional product and do not cause tooth discoloration.

White portion snuff/White Portion

White portion snuff, also known as White portion, is a type of snuff that has not been re-moistened. As opposed to All white portion, the tobacco has not been washed, however, the bag is white and has a dry surface as the product has not been moistened. This creates a kind of snuff that is less runny than the traditional one, where the pinches are moist.

Tobacco-free snus (also known as Nicotine bags or Nicotine pouches

Swedish snus has been around for over 200 years. This last decade a new tobacco-free variant was introduced to the market as an alternative to traditional snus: tobacco-free snus or snuff as it was first known, and now more common names are nicotine bags or nicotine pouches. The product that essentially is snus without tobacco are small white pouches that contain plant fiber, flavourings and nicotine, and just like the white snuff, the bags are completely white and dry, making them less runny and safe in terms of tooth discoloration. You put the pouch under your top lip – just like you do with traditional snus. Since tobacco-free snus contains nicotine it is considered an addictive product. The nicotine from the pouch is absorbed by the gums which may cause a nicotine hit. Nicotine bags was first released in 2016, and since then the demand has steadily increased leading to a lot of existing flavours with different amounts of nicotine on the market.

The difference between snus and IQOS

Just like snus, IQOS is a smoke-free product. IQOS heats the tobacco which creates a vapour with tobacco flavour. You get a cigarette-like experience with the taste of tobacco, but without any fire, ash and smoke.

IQOS is a step towards a smoke-free world

We have developed IQOS to take another step towards a smoke-free world. IQOS is based on many years of research and modern technology.
