If I don't get my snus soon, I'm going to get hideously fat.

The stinging in the gums will go away. I found that using listerine a few times a day for the first several days helped toughen up my gums and eliminate the sting. Also, alternating the side you use it on frequently will help.

[yummi4tunekookie]

I've definitely switched sides each time I've used a portion. They both feel all tender now :lol:

Anyway, I want my freaking delivery TODAY. In fact, I'm staying home 2 hours longer to wait and see if it arrives TODAY. If it does not, when I go out tonight, I am totally going to break a hobo's legs with my gigantic purse, while screaming and crying about the unfairness of the world.

In other news, I put a portion in around a few of my friends, and they immediately started BASHING my "disgusting" new habit. :cry:

[Xobeloot]

Yep, because getting your nicotine in a smokeless/spitless fashion is truly DISGUSTING! I mean... who in their right mind would want to have anything to do with someone who is using that stuff! Myself, personally, would rather be around someone who smokes like a chimney, wears cheap perfume, and drinks gallons of crappy booze. Nothing says HOTTNESS like going home smelling like brothel

Don't let them get to you. Smokeless tobacco may be new to women over here, but so was smoking at one time ;^) There's a significant number of women in Sweden and Norway that use snus, and it's perfectly accepted over there. Honestly, the best thing you could do for yourself is not use tobacco at all, but if you must use tobacco, snus is the only way to go. After a few years of smoking when your friends wake up in the morning hacking up a lung, you can say "I told you so" ;^)

Seems most people in the US are ignorant of snus - which isn't surprising. I've gotten that reaction plenty of times. For close friends I usually just explain what they are and try to give them an unbiased opinion on it. Mainly that, "well they probably do cause some forms of cancer yet to be proven, however they've been shown to be a significantly safer than smoking..." I also mention that I no longer smell like cigarettes which should be a good thing for them, and that they don't have to worry about any second-hand effects. If that doesn't work, well F 'em.

Also, after a bit of practice, it's really hard to tell if I'm snusing, especially if it's a mini-portion. Those mini-portions just stick up there, I usually have to dig them out with a bit of force now (go digging in my gums ). I haven't tried los snus yet, so I bet there's a bit of practice involved in that as well.

I assume I'm not abnormal in my ability to hide my snusing - I'd bet most people here can hide it if they want.

I met up with one of my classmates to do a project, and I told her about the snus when we went out for a smoke. She's a true southern girl who's grown up around tons of people who dip. As she's been curious about other, smokeless forms of tobacco herself, she actually thought my snus was pretty cool! She did say it was noticeable when I had one in, though :cry: I want a bigger mouth! :x

[Soft Morning, City!]

Ah, the joys of being a male with a mustache thick enough to hide the fact that I've got snus in my mouth.

[Xobeloot]

Man, I shaved off the mega-beard and suddenly people started asking me why I "dip" in my upper lip. When i had the huge beard kickin you couldnt even see the bulge through the stash.

[yummi4tunekookie]

I hate both of you with your mustaches. I hope a group of babies attacks you two and rips your 'staches off painfully. :x

Your snus order hasn't come in yet...Give it time dear, give it time :^P

[Shrewd]

I'm suprised you haven't seen your order yet. Typically I seem to think about ordering on Thursday or Friday (Sweden time) and my orders come to me on Tuesday or Wednesday (MN time). I'm guessing that it must take longer to get the mail to GA, but that seems surprising. Oh well, I'm sure it'll get there.

[Xobeloot]

Did it come today?

[yummi4tunekookie]

Did it come today?

I don't know; I won't be home until around 8 or 9 tonight. I'm abso-****in-lutely certain that it'll be delivered, though.

[Jason]

If you didn't get it today, I will be very surprised...we're pullin' for you!

[Smarvy]

I'm actually hoping you eat a cigarette. Or throw bloody pelts at passing kids.
