Firstly, the components are different. The main component of traditional tobacco is tobacco. Snus(Nicotine pouches) is usually made by grinding tobacco and then adding spices, sweeteners and other ingredients. It doesn't undergo combustion, and its main components are nicotine, tobacco extracts, spices and other additives.

Secondly, the ways of consumption are different. For traditional tobacco, people light the tobacco and then inhale the smoke to absorb components like nicotine. Smokers draw the smoke into the mouth, then it passes through the throat and enters the lungs. In the lungs, gas exchange occurs, enabling substances such as nicotine to enter the bloodstream. As for Snus(Nicotine pouches), users place it between the lips and teeth in the mouth and absorb nicotine through the oral mucosa. There is no need to light it, thus avoiding the smoke generated by combustion.

Thirdly, the impacts on physical health are different. Long-term smoking can damage the cilia of the trachea and bronchi, reducing the defensive function of the respiratory tract and easily causing infections and inflammations. Eventually, it may lead to diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The risk of developing lung cancer also increases significantly with the increase in the amount of smoking and the number of smoking years. It also has adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, increasing the incidence of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. Besides, smoking is related to various cancers including oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer and bladder cancer, and it also affects the reproductive system health and reduces fertility. Snus(Nicotine pouches) avoids some harmful substances like tar and carbon monoxide produced by the combustion of traditional tobacco, but it still contains nicotine and is addictive. Long-term use of oral snus will increase the risks of developing oral diseases like oral cancer, gum diseases and oral leukoplakia. Long-term contact of the oral mucosa with nicotine and other additives may cause inflammatory reactions, ulcers and other lesions in the mucosa and may even lead to cell carcinogenesis.

Fourthly, the social impacts are different. Traditional tobacco requires ignition devices such as lighters or matches. And during the smoking process, smoke is generated, so smoking is prohibited in most factory settings and specific areas. Snus(Nicotine pouches) can be used in more occasions because it doesn't produce smoke.
