Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for handling chunky or granular tobacco articles, in particular chewing tobacco or chewing tobacco set (snus), according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Snus is a common form of Oraltabak in Scandinavia and the USA. Snus is a salted tobacco, which is stuck behind the upper lip. Here, about the same amount of nicotine is absorbed, as is the case with a cigarette. The salt serves to maintain the pH in the mouth, which promotes nicotine absorption. Often, the tobacco is enriched with flavors to achieve special flavors. Snus is packed on the one hand as a moist powder in 50 g cans and must first be portioned before use. This is done either with your fingers or with mechanical aids. In the context of this application, however, snus is understood to mean only the variant in which a portion of snus is packed in small cellulose sachets. A portioning by the consumer is not required.
