Chewing tobacco is traditionally sold loose and in metal cans. It wasn't until the rising popularity in the 1970s that the now widely known pouches were introduced. These pouches simplify the transport and use of chewing tobacco, as there is no need to portion it with fingers. This type of chewing tobacco is known as portion tobacco, and in its homeland Sweden, they are called 'prilla' or simply 'portion.'
The chewing tobacco market continues to evolve, and in 2003, the White Portion was introduced for the first time. In this type, the tobacco-based content is packed in dry pouches. Note, there is a risk of confusing White Portion with “All White” Portion. While All White products contain nicotine, they do not contain any tobacco.
What is the difference between White Portion, loose chewing tobacco, and Original Portion?
Loose chewing tobacco uses ground tobacco leaves, which are mixed with water, salt, and flavorings and packed moist into cans. The Original Portion differs in that it is packaged in pouches that are lightly moistened after production.
In the White Portion, the production process is different, as the tobacco is packed in dry pouches with a slightly moist content. This ensures that the tobacco contained in it does not run as much when consumed. In the White Dry Portion, both the pouches and the content are drier.
Among the new chewing tobacco varieties is also the All White portion, in which the nicotine is added to the pouches either in salt or liquid form. They are completely tobacco-free, and there is less risk of teeth staining after years of use. These products are perfect for smoking cessation, especially for people who haven't succeeded with nicotine patches and other methods.
What is the difference between White Portion and chewing tobacco?
It is often assumed that White Portion tobacco and chewing tobacco are the same product, but this is not true. Both are sold in small pouches, and the flavorings and additional substances are similar. The difference lies in the size of the tobacco leaves and the method of use.
Chewing tobacco consists of larger tobacco leaves that are cut and packed in pouches made of a harder material, allowing them to be chewed better and longer. White Portion tobacco pouches are very thin and are not chewed during consumption but placed under the upper lip.
