Do you swallow your snus juice?

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Do bears sh...nevermind!

[Snusophile]

Chemical and Ingredient wise, American dip is very similar to Swedish snus. They both carry an optimal pH to absorb nicotine, American dip contains an artificial sweetener 9 times out of 10, and Swedish Snus uses salt primarily as a flavor enhancer. I think the reason you get ill from swallowing dip is because it is fermented, and thats..yucky.

Do you guys get heart burn from swallowing the juice?

I don't at all, but I'm not prone to heartburn in the first place. I've read posts from other people that said they got heartburn from cigarettes and dip, but stopped having it when they switched to snus.

It's true...not 1 bit of the acid reflux that actually sent me to the ER after 3 days of constant pain once I stopped smoking. They told me that would happen, and of course I didn't believe them :wink: Haven't even gotten slight heartburn from snus.

I swallow cause it says it's ok to do, but I've had rotten gut, but I'm just getting used to it. I know guys that chew, and they swallow that stuff, I'm sure they didn't when they started though, just got used to it.
Only reason I can think of why it's ok for snus and not dip, is it's pasteurized, and chew is fermented, other than that, it's still just tobacco so I imagine swallowing buckets of it will still make ya sick. I'm new just guessing.

[daruckis]

absolutely. when i first started on tourney after only having american camel i spit quite a bit, because my nicotine tolerance was really low. i remember once going to the movies and being indoors with it the first time i couldnt spit anywhere, and by the time the title screen had come up i was ****ED UP. i still spit occasionally like roo said depending on my current mouth hydration situation. like post bowl sparking cotton mouth. but for the most part. i gotta have my juice.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN'

I never had a problem with juice from snus. And being new to lös not only do I swallow the juice but also the tobacco. No ill effects. 8)

You people that are having to spit, are you sure you have your portion in the right spot to prevent excess juice? I swear I don't get juice placing it in the front grill area. But before I realized this, I was needing to spit alot, and didn't feel all that good if I didn't. Now, it's great, no spit, just flavor.

i actually spit quite a bit today with a goteborgs rape, it was just feeling really salty, i was moving shit and real thirsty.

[harpdog]

I never ever spat any snus juice right from the get go. Even with Lös. It is totally safe to ingest.

If you ever try American Moist Snuff such as Copenhagen or Grizzly then you will find it hard to stomach the juice. Snus in comparison is quite tame.

[RobsanX]

Nope, never spit with Swedish snus. As far as heartburn, it was worse when I smoked...

Signed! I swallow the juice, but some types tastes a lot better than others. Lös always tend to taste better than portions too. Don't know why. Same brand and strength of course like skruf sterk lös and portion.

You mean some people spit out the Snus Juice?!?!?

No way. Don't spit...Swallow!

[snusjus]

Of course. The wonderful aspect of snus is that spitting is not required.

Why do you think Swedish snus is ok to swallow, but not something like American dip? I mean, I understand that Swedish snus is made completely different; and I have read fully into it, but I'm wondering what the chemical or ingredient differences are that make swallowing something like dip a really bad idea.. And for that matter, why does American loose tobacco take the skin off your lip the first time you use it? Anyone?

Snus doesn't irritate the esophagus or stomach because its not fermented. When "dip" tobacco is fermented, the tobacco is hug over a flame; this process is what makes American smokeless tobacco dangerous. The smoke that gets absorbed by the tobacco is very irritating to oral mucosa, gastric mucosa, and esophagus.

I always swallow the juice.

I had trouble one time that I can think of and it was with Gote Rape #2. I was on my way home from work and had just popped one in and for some reason it was juicy as hell. I swallowed a couple times, but it kept running more and more. I had to roll down my window and spit a few times and after that, it was ok. I haven't had it happen since.
