Herbal snus is a tobacco-free and nicotine-free substitute of snus, a spitless (most orally-used tobacco products require one to spit) tobacco of either loose or pouched (portioned) form which is usually placed along the gum line beneath the upper lip. Unlike regular dipping tobacco or its pouched forms, snus is steam-cured rather than fire-cured. It is most widely used in the Scandinavian country of Sweden.

There are a variety of brands:

The product has become popular for citizens of mid-western and southern America who wish to cease the use of tobacco products, and is widely available in certain areas. Several notable companies dominate the market for this kind of product:
