If an election were held today, 29.6 percent of snus users would vote for the Sweden Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, the four Tid\u00f6 parties (SD, the Moderates, the Christian Democrats, and the Liberals) receive about 57 percent of the snus users\u2019 votes. The red-green parties together receive 42 percent. Snus users constitute a group of approximately 1.5 million voters and can thus influence the election results in several congressional districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u2013 The differences may partly reflect the fact that the parties have taken different stances on the snus issue during this legislative term. The Sweden Democrats took a clear stance when the tax on brown snus was lowered, and the Moderates have taken a strong stance on white snus, both in connection with France\u2019s ban and by blocking tax increases from the EU.<\/em>, says <strong>Samuel Lundell<\/strong>, president of the National Snus Users' Association, in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snusarnasriksforbund.org\/snusbarometern2026\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.snusarnasriksforbund.org\/snusbarometern2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2.jpg\" alt=\"Samuel Lundell Photo: National Snus Users&#039; Association\" class=\"wp-image-174135 lazyload\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3945120302784537;width:355px;height:auto\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"806\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2.jpg\" alt=\"Samuel Lundell Photo: National Snus Users&#039; Association\" class=\"wp-image-174135\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3945120302784537;width:355px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2.jpg 806w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-696x499.jpg 696w, https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8b4600_5d158cc020794456b6745fd0b0af059bmv2-600x430.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Samuel Lundell Photo: National Snus Users' Association<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Differences Between Different Types of Snus<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey also shows differences depending on the type of snus used.
