I was perusing the web a little while ago; just did a google search for 'swedish snus thread' out of boredom and found a lot of pretty funny posts on different forums about it.
None of the forums were dedicated to snus or smokeless tobacco for that matter; a hookah site, truck site, etc. It seemed that on each there was one person who had tried the real stuff and everyone else was pretty very much in the dark, even some of the people that had used it really had no idea about health aspects about it and the like.
Personally, most anything i plan to ingest or use, i'll do my research to know what i'm getting into so i don't just go blindly wandering. Although that can be fun. Even though snus, especially the Swedish variety isn't all that well known here in the states, i really shouldn't have been as surprised as i was by some of the comments. When i first saw the advertisements for the camel pouches, and subsequently introduced to a new word, i was intrigued and investigated snus further.
On these threads there were the typical responses of 'dip's gross, why would you use snus?' 'doesn't it have fiberglass in it?' (referring to the US camel variety) 'its worse than dip/no better for you than dip' and the list goes on. I'm half tempted to join some of these sites just to drop some real snus info for these guys so they have some decent information to go on.
Speaking of which, during the browsing i came across a few posts on one forum (don't remember which one) by our very own chadizzy1 doing exactly what i was tempted to do, spreading the word! Way to go on that Chad.
I love all the great information available on this forum. I'm beyond happy it exists. Long story short, i love you guys lol.
