Dental health care professionals have the opportunity to play a key role in tobacco prevention and cessation among adolescents. Snus use has increased in Norway, especially in the age group 16–24, whereas there has been a decline in smoking. This study investigated attitudes and activities related to snus prevention among dental health care professionals working in the Public Dental Service (PDS) in south‐eastern Norway.

Snus is a smokeless, ground tobacco product, which is most commonly placed in the mouth between the gum and lip. Like other tobacco products, snus contains the biologically active and addictive substance, nicotine.
