In this case, the elephants are trailing the mouse; both Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds have picked up on not just the concept of moist snuff or "snus," which is the original Swedish word for this, but adopted the name itself. RJ Reynolds launched "Camel Snus" and Philip Morris "Marlboro Snus" in 2006 and 2007. Snus is the Swedish term for moist snuff - a minor part of the global tobacco business "owned" by Swedish Match, which for good reason holds a market leader position in the segment. Who knows how the playing field will change, as more and more societies in the world make it harder and harder for nicotine users to light up.
