Introducing Snus

[JBean]

Being that snus isn't as widely used as other tobacco products, I love it when I'm out and about using my snus and people ask about it.
A particular time comes to mind when I was out at a bar and this older guy asked me out about it. I, of course, told him how to use it and what not and his response is "oh i been smoking for X amount of years and this won't do anything for me" So, I offer him one to try (i believe it was just some General Wintergreen) and he takes it.
Well, lo and behold, about 10 minutes later, he comes up to me and is blown away by it! He was speechless on the buzz he had gotten from it. I had to laugh a little bit, being that I am only in my 20s and female. (you know how some guys have that "well if a GIRL can do it.." attitude.)

Anyone else have some fun stories introducing snus to people?

i can recall over the summer when my Gunny, SSGT and I went to six flags over the summer with some new recruits just for kicks...and one of the recruits asked if i had a dip..so i told him no(of course) and offered him some snus(triumph as it was the only one ive had at the time) and he tried it out...he liked it...until we got on the superman and he swalled the portion...lets just say he didnt have that great a day afterwards...i felt bad for him but the throwing up was kinda funny

A month ago I went back home for Christmas. While visiting with my family I also went to hang out with my old high school buddies. My friends were shocked that I had quit smoking (1 1/2 packs a day even in high school). I told them about snus and they discarded it as chew. After trying to explain how and why it was different they gave it a try, most of them being smokers. One of my friends, who is almost 300lbs tells me, "Man I'm big! It takes more of everything." I tried to explain that his tolerance for this type of nicotine uptake is not established. He would not listen and managed to convince me that he needed two. I had a can of Claq Qui with me. This is 23mg of nicotine. He puts both of them in. In about 4 minutes he goes, "Wow, this stuff is legal?" We were playing video games and I notice he starts to rub his eyes and his head is bobing back and fourth. After having them in for about 10 minutes he jumped up and fell forward. He stumbled to his feet and lost his balance and nearly put his hand into a two thousand dollar flatscreen. A little consciousness was regained and I've never seen a guy that big move so quick. He ran into the bathroom and barfed all over the wall and toilet. My friends and I laughed so hard. He went into his bedroom and didn't emerge for the remainder of the night. That incident actually made him quit smoking and drinking since the last time I spoke with him.

So what have we learned from this? If you want to quit smoking or your alcohol addiction just double barrel some strong snus!
