Snus

moist tobacco product placed under the upper lip, used in the Nordic countries

Snus is smokeless tobacco. It has been used in Sweden for almost a century.[1] The name is a bit like the English snuff, but it is a different product. Snus is placed under the upper lip; snuff is inhaled into the nostrils.
