Snus is often considered a less harmful alternative to smoking because it doesn't involve inhaling smoke. This characteristic has led to its popularity as a harm-reduction product. Stringent government rules and regulations regarding smoking and environmental contamination are propelling the demand for snus among consumers across the globe. In major developed countries like the United States, the efforts of governments to reduce smoking by granting permission for the usage of tobacco and nicotine alternatives are further increasing the adoption of snus globally. The snus market is still niche but growing slowly due to the variety offered by the market players. Snus is available in different fruit flavors and is consumed by the majority of young millennials as an alternative to smoking.

The rising popularity of snus due to the ease of the application it provides to its users is a significant factor driving the market. The ease with which the product can be used anywhere, as compared to cigarettes, which cannot be smoked in public or no-smoking zones due to the negative impacts of combustion, has played an essential role in promoting snus use. The product's low risk of gastrointestinal, lung, and pancreatic cancers and respiratory disorders is a significant reason for its popularity among nicotine addicts. The snus market is expected to continue growing, especially in regions where smoking rates are high, and there is a push for harm reduction. However, its expansion is closely tied to changing tobacco regulations in different countries. Education and awareness about the relative risks and benefits of snus compared to smoking play a significant role in driving the market growth.
