Why snus?

[ShaulWolf]

texasmade nailed it for me. And no need to spit. Big plus if you're sitting in class or a meeting.

Lower TSNA levels than dip, no spitting required, and it's tasty!

What he said.

Many reasons...

1. Carrying around a cylinder of oxygen just isn't sexy.

2. American Snuff was like taking a sand blaster to the inside of my lip and gums.

3. NO SPITTING.

4. I can keep working without committing too many homocides on anti smoker / tobacco types. (The local lake is almost full of bodies.)

5. I like spinning a can in my hand and having people wonder what in the heck it is. (Is it Snuff? No. What is that? What language is on that thing you have? Where did you get that stuff? My answer, Roswell, of course.)

6. Not having to wonder if that white sore in my mouth is cancer.

7. Not having that white sore or cuts in my mouth (see US Snuff).

8. The nicotine level is almost in illegal quantities in most countries.

9. Not having to carry a spit cup.

10. Having a secret that only a few can appreciate.

Being in the military, folks are real anal about using any kind of tobacco in "smoking areas" only, even if it's not tobacco you smoke... Plus, after being on the flight line in a freezing rain and crazy winds, last thing I want to do is go outside to have a smoke/dip. Decided to quit smoking again (first time lasted 8 months) and love the low cost and convenience of it. I'm snussing all day while on duty, have nicer, steadier supply of nictone, and it's cheaper. And for the first time in my life i have absolutely no craving for cigs, even when really drunk. That's a first :lol:

It's steam pasteurized, not heat or fire cured (did anyone mention that?). Which is what makes it safer w/ lower TSNA's and the ability to consume it w/out spitting. Why snus? If nicotine's on the menu... Why not?

[Soft Morning, City!]

Because the warning label sounds like one of the thunder words from Finnegans Wake.

[deebocools]

since I bottom-lip dead center, snus makes my jaw appear more square and masculine.

It also freshens my breath to smell like green tea and some kind of poison.

sucking on dip causes an avalance of unswallowable spit, wheras with snus it's just fun.

and good snus is cheaper than good amercian dip.
