Smokeless Tobacco in Japan

There is no strong tradition of consumption of smokeless tobacco in Japan, either in chewing, snuff or pouch (SNU) format. Smokeless tobacco, although not illegal, has never really caught on in Japan, largely for cultural reasons. Most Japanese consumers consider chewing or sniffing tobacco to be uncouth and socially unacceptable. This is supported by the popularity of NRT patches, which have been well accepted in comparison with NRT gum.
