Snus
Snus (pronounced snoos) is a type of moist snuff that originated in Sweden. It's sold loose or in pouches. Snus is pasteurized to kill bacteria that can produce cancer-causing chemicals. Some evidence suggests that snus users aren't at as great a risk as cigarette users are for mouth cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and other lung problems.
