comparing nicotine level in dip to snus

[Rogue Demon]

A lot of people say snus has more nicotine than dip. From looking at the amount of nicotine in different dip brands compared to snus brands, brands like oden and thunder has more nicotine than dip brands like kodiak, grizzly, skoal, and copenhagen etc. But goteborg and roda has less nicotine than dip brands like kodiak, grizzly, skoal, and copenhagen etc. But, since snus is so finely grounded, does your gums absorb more nicotine from snus even if the snus has less nicotine than dip?

Some others can explain this better than I can, but it comes down to pH levels. The more alkaline the tobacco is, the more you can absorb. So gram-for-gram, snus typically has more "free" bio-available nicotine that you can actually absorb. And I also think that Oden's Extreme is one of the most powerful tobacco products in the world (22mg/g)
