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.

FDA materials state the product was previously marketed (without modified-risk information) as Copenhagen Snuff Fine Cut.
