Can Inhaling A Bag Of Snus Cause Serious Medical Problems?

I think that I inhaled a bag of snus... it is strange because it didn't cause any coughing... but after some time I noticed a strange feeling in my throat...I can breath normally... there is just a feeling that something is struck out there... what will happen?

Your body WILL clear it out. There may be an allergic/asthmatic reaction. It will be slightly different (ok... less severe and different) than most asthma in that the top of the respiratory tract not the bottom seems affected. This can make it seem like it is a (little bit) harder to drag in air. Treatable with anti-inflammatory steroids especially pill form. Unlikely to last a long time.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
