Over a period of eight months, the duo responded to 31 consumer questions, started one thread themselves, and in total posted 56 messages. Some bloggers received regular free snus samples from Swedish Match and then reviewed the products online, including British blogger Tim Haigh. Haigh and Swedish Match later became involved in a controversy which saw researchers from the University of Bath receive verbal abuse over a peer-reviewed article which highlighted that snus was being sold illegally across the EU via the Internet, contravening three EU Directives and Swedish national legislation.
In December , the Norwegian Parliament approved plain packaging legislation on cigarettes and snus. Swedish Match sought an injunction from the Oslo County Court to delay the legislation, arguing that the Norwegian government was in breach of the free European Economic Area EEA trade rules and that the intervention plain packaging of snus boxes was not in proportion to the health risks associated with snus.
In , sales of snus were banned in Europe , following an aggressive attempt by the US Smokeless Tobacco Company to introduce smokeless tobacco to several European markets in the mids. The snus ban severely limits the growth potential of Swedish Match in Europe, and the company has been attempting to lift the snus ban in the last decade using multiple tactics. The scandal, besides raising questions about the transparency around EU policy making, also exposed the murky lobbying practices of Swedish Match in its attempts to have the snus ban lifted.
Evidence showed that the company had inappropriately sought access to Dalli in his private sphere in Malta via Gayle Kimberley, a Maltese lobbyist not registered at the EU Transparency Register. In the aftermath of the scandal, Swedish Match publicly lied at several occasions suggesting that Kimberley had met Dalli TWICE, the first time in January and the second time in February when the alleged bribery attempt had supposedly been made. After this meeting she lobbyist sounded very upset, saying the meeting was derailed and went in a very odd direction.

In order to maintain a specific pH, alkaline agents like ammonium and sodium carbonates are commonly used in snus tobacco [ 1 , 5 , 27 ]. Higher product pH increases the proportion of nicotine present as unprotonated nicotine, which is more readily absorbed across membranes [ 28 — 30 ] and may increase product addictiveness [ 31 — 32 ].
Overall, unprotonated nicotine levels were highest in European portion selections, followed by European loose tobaccos, and US tobacco portion products. The products used in this study were selected based on popularity, availability, and convenience and do not include all snus products available.
This is a major limitation of this work. Additionally, we only analyzed one point of sale per brand, thus excluding shelf life variations. The sample size per region and per manufacturer also varied considerably. We were only able to find 8 US snus products at the time the study was initiated, compared with 56 NE snus products.
Similarly, we only tested one brand family for a few manufacturers as opposed to 12 brand families for another. Further involving additional manufacturers and brands would help fill key information gaps.
Our results identify potential key differences in the physical and chemical characteristics of snus products from the US and Northern Europe. One manufacturer consistently had products with reduced TSNA levels, likely achieved by reducing or eliminating select microorganisms, to minimize TSNA formation.
The lower nitrosamine levels in select snus products clearly demonstrates that tobacco products can be manufactured with reduced carcinogens. The higher unprotonated nicotine levels associated with certain product descriptors may be achieved through inclusion of higher nicotine tobacco sources and buffering agents [ 1 ] that increase alkalinity. Higher unprotonated nicotine levels, in turn, enhance nicotine adsorption [ 28 ] and may increase product addictiveness and contribute to adverse health outcomes linked with sustained and repetitive tobacco exposure.
Future research is warranted to examine the impact of addictiveness found in reduced carcinogen exposure products, the relation of alkalinity to unprotonated nicotine, and any associated modulation.
