Snuffing in public

[khalid]

I live in the U.K and have no problem with snuffing in public, I think there still is a memory of snuff use here so most people pay it no mind. My sense is that in the U.S it is much easier to attract social disapproval.

I'm not sure how smokeless tobacco would affect someone that's sitting besides you anyways.

I know right? I have often asked myself that same question. The whole original no-smoking push was because we were protecting others from 2nd hand smoke. Now that 90% of the places are smoke free everyone is switching to the no-tobacco policy (like colleges, hospitals, some airlines, etc.)

It's none of their f**king business if I want to have a portion in my mouth. As long as tobacco is legal and not a controlled substance and doesn't affect anyone else they should not have the right to dictate my behavior. It's the anti-tobacco nazis pushing their agenda as I have been saying all along.

Don't you know about the minuscule amounts of smoke that come out of it when it's under your lip? Those are highly cancerous, toxic and dangerous! Must not expose other people to secondhand snus!

Isn't that when you spit it in someone's eyes? Secondhand snus should only be used as a defensive measure.

We got them all over here. Big signs on the doors saying, "This is a tobacco free facility". I agree though, probably won't snuff in public, just snus.

The thing is though, that, to many peeps, smoking = tobacco ....
Therefore, NO TOBACCO.

Tobacco sounds classier than smoking -- and we must be classy!!

I've never heard of "tobacco free" places to be honest.

Snuff is quite nasty to be consumed in public. I remember when I was snuffing in public I always used to have snuff around my nostrils and especially in the cold season the brown mucus was dripping out of my nose.

You need to look in a mirror pretty often just to avoid getting weird looks.

I know! Hilarious how it's one of the oldest forms of taking tobacco and completely legal (although places that used to be "Non Smoking" are now "Tobacco Free" so it wouldn't be allowed there) and we have to hide like common criminals lol

The mini Ziplocks are in the pharmacy department on the same rack as the pill reminders, Just ask where the pill reminders are...

Cool I'll get some next week when the wife and
I go shopping so I can send you the WE Garrett both
kinds. The grind is fine not as fine as the elephant I don't think. Wish I could send more but all I actually bought is toque and the Garrett lol. Everything else I got are in the little zip locks I got
from some fine folks on here from trades etc.

Lmao actually no, forgot about it we were talkin alot and had a portion in the whole time, oh I forgot I was at walmart and forgot the damn mini zip locks whatever. What section would sell those I don't want to ask because I'll look like the neighborhood mr bojangles dr feelgood.

Eric... So did ya hit the restroom for a sniff of snuff while you were out for that Texas Steak/shrimp/lobster dinner or what..

[EricHill78]

Those English tins do look classy.. The past week I've been on an American scotch kick and I can't stand the we garrett tin. I mean it's cool and all with the history factor but it has the hillbilly vibe. I was browsing eBay the other day looking at antique snuff boxes and all which are pretty cool but it may look like I'm a higher class druggy lol. I'm not going to worry so much and just enjoy the experience.

I've had some luck explaining that the tin I'm fiddling with is traditional Engiish nasal snuff and that it's fantastic stuff and is safe as houses. Helps if I'm using F&T with it's "Est. 1720 in Haymarket, London" on it. That angle usually deflects the "ew" factor and plays into the trace of anglophilia that the many of us former colonials are prone to. Works most every time. Even had a couple of folks, smokers of course, express interest and at least one is now on the snuff wagon.

Whenever a non-smoker gives me grief about snuff or snus, I just
tell them it's only about the nicotine .... and anyway, "There is no
smoke, secondhand or otherwise, so get off your high horse or I'll
just find a cigarette and light up just to give you an excuse to really
bitch!" And yes, I have said just that to one obnoxious a*hole ---
it worked! Of course I tone it down for anyone who's just clueless.
They have their addictions; nicotine is one of mine.

Ha ha... I gotta remember that about going finding a cigarette if a non smoker gives me grief about snuff or snus, and very true that they have their addictions; nicotine is one of mine
