1. A snus container, comprising:
a body defining a first compartment;
a first lid adapted to be releasably attached to the body so that it closes the first compartment, the first lid defining a second compartment separated from the first compartment, wherein one of said first and second compartment is adapted for storing unused snus portions while the other of said first and second compartment is adapted for storing used snus portions, and
a second lid pivotably coupled to the first lid to be able to, upon pressing an actuation region of the second lid, to pivot about a pivot axis (P) from a closed position, in which the second lid closes the second compartment, to a semi-open position at which position access to the second compartment is still prevented,
wherein the second lid is pivotably coupled to the first lid by means of a snap-in coupling enabling the second lid to reversibly detach from the first lid when the second lid is in the semi-open position,
wherein the second lid comprises:
a first portion adapted to move away from the bottom of the second compartment when the second lid pivots to the semi-open position, thereby exposing a gripping region of the second lid, and
a second portion connected to the first portion and providing the actuation region so that when pushed toward the bottom of the second compartment, the second lid is actuated to pivot from the closed position to the semi-open position, and
wherein access to the second compartment is enabled by removing the second lid from the first lid.
