snus
Scandinavian lip tobacco
Snus is moist tobacco held under the upper lip, originating in Sweden.
Unlike American dipping tobacco, it's pasteurized rather than fermented, and users don't need to spit.
Snus comes loose or in small pouches: He tucked a pouch of snus under his lip.
Nicotine pouches without tobacco are sometimes called snus by extension.
