Since we expanded our tobacco-substitute section, one question keeps coming up: is CBD snus just a marketing gimmick, or does it really change anything compared with classic snus?
Nicotine is still the same story
CBD snus generally still contains nicotine, unless the packaging explicitly says otherwise. The CBD is added to the formula – it doesn't replace the nicotine. If your goal is to stop nicotine completely, CBD snus isn't the answer, and I always point this out to customers who think otherwise.
What CBD changes in the feel
Customers who use both often describe a calmer feel with CBD snus, with less of the jittery rush from nicotine alone. It's hard to measure scientifically for this specific format, but the feedback from the field is fairly consistent from one person to the next.
Taste and texture differ too
CBD snus tends to have more crafted flavours, sometimes closer to a product you savour than a simple tobacco substitute. Some customers clearly prefer this approach; others find it complicates a habit they wanted to keep simple.
"I switched to CBD snus mainly for the taste. The nicotine is the same, so it changed nothing on the addiction side. But I find it clearly nicer to use day to day."
How to choose between the two
If you're just looking for an alternative to smoked tobacco with nicotine, both options are very similar – the choice comes down to personal taste. If you're hoping to get CBD's effects as well, check the dose on the can carefully: some products contain very little, almost symbolic amounts.
Drop by the shop in Yverdon-les-Bains if you'd like to try several products before deciding – it's easier than guessing from a label. Browse our snus and nicotine pouches.
