TLDR: Sweden focuses on harm reduction, had “snus” as an alternative, among other things.

    Aren’t there better alternatives to both snus and cigarettes? Seems like a fine reason.

    Perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, but no need to let mediocre be the enemy of good either.

      I mean the best option is to simply not use nicotine, thats the harmful part. I use nicotine pouches (essentially snus but its just nicotine without any tobacco) IIRC thats the healthiest option thats still functionally the same as snus.

      If you do need your nicotine I would recommend nicotine pouches of regular strength (some contain stupidly high nicotine levels, like 50-100+ mg per pouch).
