How do chewing tobaccos differ?
Chewing tobacco is traditionally made from salt, water, tobacco, and flavors. To categorize chewing bags, the following points are mainly examined:
- Nicotine content (ranging from 0 mg/g up to over 40 mg/g)
- Chewing Tobacco Strength (nicotine-free, normal, strong, very strong, extremely strong)
- Size of nicotine pouches (Large, Normal, Slim, Super Slim, Mini)
- Format (Loose Chewing Bag, Original Portion, White Portion, White Dry Portion)
- Flavors (including mint, berries, menthol)
The Chewing Tobacco Strength does not only depend on the nicotine content, but also the moisture and pH value determine how the effect of nicotine is perceived. The moisture content indicates how quickly the nicotine kick sets in. A moist chewing tobacco is stronger because the nicotine directly about the saliva reaches the brain.
The pH value indicates how much nicotine can be absorbed. The higher the pH value, the more nicotine can be taken in. Finally, the flavors can also contribute to how intense we experience the taste.
