Can't seem to convert even Camel snus users...

I think the main problem is getting people to adjust to snus. The biggest problem is people associating snus with ''dip''. The other problem is, I think a lot of people get put off by the drip/saltiness of snus because they haven't acclimated to it. Even among people willing to try it; how many threads have we had around here with people asking/complaining about the drip/saltiness of snus? I'm not insulting those who are new to it; in fact quite the opposite. I like it when people come on here and ask about the drip/saltiness because it gives us a chance to explain to them that it's something they will get used to; or allow us the chance to point them in the right direction (white portions, etc).

I have had mostly the same reactions, but I have had a few who now use it, so i keep trying as even if I only convice one, I have helped someone. I have given away SO many cans to people to try to see if they like it. 90% don't try it, or say they don't like it, but its still worth it for the other 10%.

A couple of things I make sure to mention when i bring it up is that Sweden has been using the product for over 200 years, with no evidence of cancer, and that all ingredients are food grade because its a gov't regulated product. That at least raises some eyebrows.

I'm with you 110%... I have a family member who used smokeless tobacco for 25 years (along side of smoking), refuse to give snus a try even to help him quit a 2 pack a day habit. He said ''snus was to weird'' for him.

The more I go through life the more depressed I become at how retarded people are.

You cannot be more right!

I've had people that are desperately trying to give up smoking. I offer them snus, telling them they'll have given up as easily as falling off a log. They refuse. The more I go through life the more depressed I become at how retarded people are.

First of all earlier this week a guy in front of me at the gas station was buying camel snus and I suggested that he pick up the General instead. He not only had no idea about swedish snus at all but wasn't even willing to try it. Then today I was working, I'm a pizza delivery driver. In the instructions, a guy put for me to pick up a can of Camel frost. I don't normally do this but I saw it as a good opportunity to convert somebody, these 2 instances were the only times I've ever even tried because it seemed appropriate at the time. I picked up the Camel but I also happened to have an unopened can of Thunder Frosted on me. This guy gave me a $10 tip so I gave him the Thunder as well as the Camel. He also had no idea that real snus existed and seemed skeptical to try it. This just kind of blows my mind for some reason.
