snus and dip are completely different. Snus is upper-lipped and does not require spitting. It is much safer due to being pasteurized and not fire-cured like American dip.

Hi Pipes!

No worries about posting in the snus forums. It's one more thing we have to consider with making all the different forum labels a bit clearer. When we named the "Dip" forum, we kind of forgot about that most of the world knows American moist tobacco as either snuff or snus, not Dip.

We have the same problem with Nasal snuff. I think it may be time to take another look at how we named them and give them a bit of a tweak. ;-)

And welcome to SnusOn too!

I disagree. "Dip" was started being made in the US to provide the Scandinavian immigrants with the style of snuff they were accustomed to using. Hence, the brand names Copenhagen and Skoal.

Yes, it is made by different processes, but it is essentially the same thing for the same purpose. Yes, I also agree that Swedish snus is safer due to not being made with fermented tobacco.

Dip is called snus in the upper Midwest, and you can find cans of dip here that say snus on the label.

To me, they're very different. Yeah, there's the fermentation and all but there's more that goes along with dipping...mainly the expectorating. I don't really do that around people. I find it off-putting. I also use way more tobacco per dip than I do with snus. Plus the dip is spent usually after 30 min.

I have to agree that living in the land of the Swedes that I had heard the word "Snus" before I really knew what it was.
