If Snus are legal in France at all, why Nicotine Pouches are so popular as a tobacco-free variant and which brands have conquered the French market can be read here. You can also find out what you should pay particular attention to when buying online.
Is Snus legal in France?
"Tobacco for oral use", in particular tobacco-containing Snus, is subject of a general ban on sale in all EU member states, with the exception of Sweden. The background to this is the currently valid EU Tobacco Directive which has been implemented into national law in the individual member states.
Accordingly, tobacco-containing Snus is banned in France, this does not affect so-called nicotine pouches, an innovative tobacco-free alternative that is also known as "white" Snus.

French Snus-Products without tobacco
The French Snus-products do not contain tobacco - the nicotine they contain is extracted from the tobacco plant or produced synthetically. This means that tobacco-specific harmful substances can be avoided - in particular so-called tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TNSAs), which are carcinogenic.
Because of the use of novel, synthetically produced forms of nicotine there is another advantage: It is possible to systematically tweak the individual effect profile of the products - in recent years, for example, products have come onto the market that can be used specifically in the sense of nicotine replacement therapy, as they ensure a consistent, long-lasting nicotine release.

This modern and innovative form of consumption makes it possible to enjoy nicotine without having to put up with the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. In addition, unlike conventional snus-pouches, the tobacco-free ones have the advantage of not staining the teeth. Anyone who is familiar with classic tobacco-snus will know that they often start to trickle as soon as they are inserted under the upper lip, which can cause brownish discoloration of the teeth. This unpleasant side effect is completely eliminated in the case of nicotine pouches.

Why is Snus so popular in France?
In France tobacco-free Snus-products are becoming increasingly popular. With the growing awareness of the health risks of smoking, many are looking for ways to enjoy nicotine without the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. This is at least one of the reasons why the white pouches are enjoying such popularity.
However, discretion in consumption and the ability to consume anywhere where smoking is prohibited are also likely to play a major role. A list of places where cigarette consumption is strictly forbidden in France and punishable by horrendous fines could be drawn up. However, those who remain smoke-free in France and use nicotine pouches are not affected by this.
