Description
Hong Ta Shan Snus (HTS)
What is Snus?
Smokeless tobacco is any type of tobacco that is not smoked or burned. It may be used as inserted between the gum and cheek as chewing tobacco, inhaled through the nose as dry snuff, or inserted between the lower lip and gum as moist snuff. Aromatic compounds like mint or clove are also sometimes added to enhance the flavor. Snus has a relatively high nicotine delivery and absorption.
The tobacco used in snus undergoes pasteurization in the same way as milk. The process reduces the amount of tobacco-specific chemicals, called nitrosamines, that are known to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
Snus contains only a handful of ingredients:
- Salt
- Sodium carbonate (“soda ash”)
- Water
- Moisture-preserving agents
