Tobacco can be smoked, sucked, chewed, or sniffed. Cigarette smoking is the predominant way that people use tobacco in the European Union; about 28% of people older than 18 years currently smoke and less than 1% use smokeless tobacco except in Sweden. Tobacco is also sold as cigars, loose tobacco for hand-rolled cigarettes or for pipes, water-pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, and tobacco that can be sucked or sniffed (snuff, moist or dry).
