Tobacco-rette Pvt Ltd is the sole distributor of Swedish Snus in Zimbabwe. Currently we are importing three flavours. These are Rapé, Menthol and Original.
Snus is an alternate form of nicotine intake and is healthier than cigarettes to the body and to the environment. It is served in little sachets - “snubs” - inserted in the mouth between the gum and top lip, remaining there for as long as it is comfortable or required while the tobacco flavour is slowly absorbed.
Snus has a slower nicotine absorption rate than cigarettes therefore one snub will last for up to an hour. Long time users find 20 minutes in the mouth gives adequate nicotine stimulation. One snub lasts twice as long as a cigarette and a can of 20 snubs costs about half the price of a packet of cigarettes in Zimbabwe. These can be used in conjunction with smoking, as a tool to quit smoking or as an alternative to smoking where smoking is not permitted.
From a health aspect, some published advantages are:
- Swedish snus does not deposit tar into lungs or any of the poisonous gases, which occur when lighting tobacco.
- Swedish snus is user friendly and can be taken anywhere, which benefits passive smokers
- Swedish snus reduces the dependency on smoking.
- Swedish snus acts as a relaxing stimulant, as do tea and coffee.
- Swedish snus has been scrutinized by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, which came to the following conclusion: “the health risks associated with snuff are lower that those associated with smoking…
Overall, therefore, there is scarcely any proof of a cancer risk. With regard to a possible link between snuff dipping and cardio-vascular disease, there are few studies and these have produced contradictory results.
- Swedish snus acts as an appetite suppressant, which, if you want to quit smoking, is good because you won’t put on weight.
- Swedish snus does not cause discolouration to teeth or hands the way smoking does.
- Swedish snus is actually good for gums in that the salt content of the snub has a positive influence for healthy gums.
- Swedish snus will reduce tooth decay in that the manufacturing process creates an alkaline product, which counter-acts the acids that cause tooth decay.
It should be noted that nicotine is an addictive stimulant and should not be introduced to persons under the age of 18.
