Sale of snus is illegal in all the European Union countries except for Sweden, Estonia, Hungary and Denmark. It is also the most common form of tobacco in Norway and available in Switzerland as well. Canada makes it difficult to obtain snus through discouraging its users by implementing high taxes on products like snus. Some EU countries like Estonia allow the sale of snus-like products that contain nicotine but no tobacco. Local varieties of snus, growing in popularity in the United States, have been seen as an alternative to smoking, vaping, e-smoking, chewing, dipping, dissolvable and snuff tobacco. However, US-manufactured snus does not have the same production standards or ingredients as Swedish snus, and typically uses significant amounts of sweeteners.
