Copenhagen is a brand of dipping tobacco made by the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company. Although it is considered a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) it is still addictive and contains several chemicals that are known carcinogens.This is why a 2025 review article cautioned that the MRTP classification for Copenhagen Classic Snuff could contribute to public misperception and emphasized the need for post-market surveillance and discouraging initiation by non-users.[1]
FDA materials state the product was previously marketed (without modified-risk information) as Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut.[2]
Packaging and cuts
The product is available in pouches and different cuts of tobacco, including Fine Cut, Long Cut, and Extra Long Cut.[3] Copenhagen Original Snuff, Long Cut, and pouches come in a 1.2 ounce can now made with a fiberboard bottom and metal lid, however, a few flavors still use the plastic bottom. The brand also offers other flavors like Wintergreen, Mint, Straight, Original, Southern Blend, and, seasonally, Black; all are available in long-cut, fine-cut, and pouches except for Black and Southern Blend.
