Swedish snus can trace its roots as far back as the 1600’s when Swedish men would use Nasal snuff orally due to the ease of using it that way when they would work on their farms. It was in 1822 when a Swedish man named Jakob Frederik Ljunglöf began to produce a wet variety of snuff to be specifically used in the lip called Ettan. Ettan, and snus use in general, became pretty popular in the next 90 years with quite a few different brands coming to the market. Brands such as Generalsnus made by WM Hellgren and Röda Lacket by Petter Swarz that were first made during that time are still just a popular today. In 1915, Snus would take a pretty big step forward into Swedish history with the formation of the Swedish Tobacco Monopoly.
