Moist snuff is used by placing a pinch, dip, lipper, or quid, between the lower lip or cheek and gum. The nicotine in the snuff is absorbed through the tissues of the mouth. Moist snuff is also available in small, teabag-like pouches or sachets that can be placed between the cheek and gum.These are designed to be both âsmoke-freeâ and âspit-freeâ and are marketed as a discreet way to use tobacco.ome people believe that snus is a safe tobacco to use. Because itâs steam-heated rather than fermented (like American snuff and other forms of spitless tobacco), Swedish snus has fewer tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) that are known to cause cancer. But there are other carcinogens in snus besides TSNAs.
