A COMPARISON OF CONSUMPTION BEHAVIOUR IN
SWEDISH USERS OF LOOSE AND PORTION SNUS

We have previously reported initial findings of a study of snus consumption
behaviour in Sweden, in which a telephone survey of around 3,000 snus users was conducted between March and April of 2007. Snus in Sweden is principally available in two forms—one where the tobacco is loose and the consumer takes a pinch of tobacco from the tin, and one where the tobacco has been sealed in pouches and the consumer typically takes one pouch from the tin at a time.
The objective of this paper is to analyse and compare data on consumption behaviours of male users of loose snus to male users of pouched snus.
The male population was relatively evenly distributed between use of loose snus (41.9%) and pouched snus (54.0%). In this study the average daily consumption was considerably higher in loose snus users (mean around 30 g per day) than pouched snus users (around 12 grams per day). In our study sample there were very few loose snus users taking less than 10 grams per day, and a significant portion using 50 grams per day, as compared with pouched snus where 50% were consuming less than 10 g per day and very few subjects consumed over 25 grams per day. Frequency of use and duration for each use was similar for both loose and pouched use, and the key factor governing the increased amount of tobacco used seemed to be the fact that loose snus users take a much larger amount of tobacco for each use than is found in a pouch.
