FIELD NOTES / KROSSA

FIELD NOTE / 01

A shared physical idea

Oral portions have a long Scandinavian history. Modern tobacco-free nicotine pouches share an under-lip format with snus while differing in whether they contain tobacco leaf.

Similar format; different contents.

FIELD NOTE / 02

Use the accurate category name.

FIELD NOTE / 03

A modern category

Nicotine pouches have developed into a range of formats, flavours and labelled strengths. Those attributes vary by manufacturer; a historical narrative does not verify a present-day product specification.

History is not a certificate.
