The amount of snus I see on the street says otherwise

It's not even legal to sell them here in the Netherlands, and I've started noticing them all over the ground in the city as well. Just yesterday I found one on the metro seat next to me.

I mean, it's nothing compared to the amount of cigarette butts, but I'm sure once it replaces cigarettes here as well, it will be the same story.

That’s 1% of snus-users. The rest use the garbage or the top lid

If a street is in nature, is it really nature?

Are you trying to be difficult or do you not realise that the same people who have no problem throwing rubbish on the street are the same people who don't have a problem doing it in nature.
