At CSD Uppsala – Research Center, we conduct interdisciplinary research to shed light on the snus and nicotine pouch industry from ethical, sustainable, and public health perspectives. Our mission is to help create a transparent market that respects people and the planet.
Research That Drives Change
We study the snus market’s structure, consumer behavior, and global trade patterns. Through both quantitative and qualitative research, we deliver insights that inform better decisions for policymakers and industry leaders. Our work also includes monitoring the rise of nicotine pouches and assessing their impact on public health and regulation.
Quality Checks for Consumer Safety
Ensuring product safety is a core part of our mission. We conduct laboratory analyses to assess the chemical composition of snus products—such as Loop snus—and verify compliance with health and safety regulations. We advocate for clear labeling, responsible ingredients, and the elimination of harmful additives.
Advocating for Fair Trade
We work to promote fairness and ethics throughout the snus supply chain. From tobacco farming to retail, we investigate labor conditions, wages, and sourcing practices. Our goal is to build traceable and ethical supply chains that uphold human rights and environmental standards.
Sustainability in Every Step
Environmental responsibility is essential to a sustainable snus industry. We examine waste management practices, packaging materials, and production emissions. By encouraging eco-friendly innovations, we support a shift toward a more circular and climate-conscious nicotine market.
Looking Toward the Future
We monitor emerging trends—from digital marketing to new product formats—and study how consumer behavior is evolving. This forward-looking research helps stakeholders anticipate challenges and seize opportunities in a rapidly changing industry.
Educating the Public
Public awareness is vital. We collaborate with schools, universities, media, and NGOs to share reliable information and foster critical thinking. Through accessible reports, workshops, and webinars, we make our research available to everyone.
