Went to Tinder Box today for some minty snus... A Skull and Crossbones would've at least looked better....


crazy

I can deal with the lid warning. That's less offensive to me than the body warning for some reason, What's on the bottom?

[EricHill78]

Those warnings are way overkill. I am going to invest in an icetool snus tin one day. I could reuse my current ones that I have now but they'll eventually get old. Plus they look really sharp!

Methinks the Scandinavians are playing it extra safe ...
too safe 'cause they're very paranoiac dealing with US regulations.

Camel's warnings are well-positioned on the front and back only ...
and actually not visible when in their displays.

Marlboro's snus box and inner sleeve have a warning only on the front of each.

Hopefully the exaggerated warning labels will soon acquire some
common sense and dignity.

Call me crazy, but the new cans don't really bother me that much.

They look hideous, but it's the same great snus inside, and that's all I really want anyway.

At least it saves me the temptation of saving all my used cans. These are a lot easier to throw away when I empty them.

Too true - new look same great taste in a tin that easy to discard once all the inside goodness is gone

Tsk tsk!!

Shouldn't you be recycling these?

They make great containers for all kinds of screws and nails
and doodads in the garage and the workshop!!

I'll bet someone will eventually publish
The Dummies Guide to Hundreds of Uses for Old Snus Containers.


Just sayin'.

[EricHill78]

Lxskllr recycled an old Ettan tin by putting some snuff samples in it for me. So there's one for the book!

[bipolarbear1968]

Well, At least I know it isn't safe for me. Who whudda thunk?

[chadizzy1]

I constantly reuse. I have one that I have no warnings on. When I open a new can I dump into warning free can.

As a Snus advocate I cannot, in good conscience, walk around with these cans and try and convert people. These BS warning labels make me look like a liar and a hypocrite when I talk "harm reduction".

[c.nash]

Damn. Those labels blow. :/

True, but when one of your converts goes and purchases Swedish snus and it has the warning labels all over it, well....then you'll look like you misrepresented snus that way too. I think it's better to explain that FDA forces us to put these labels on until we're granted modified risk status. Have them do their own homework and read the clinical studies, it usually stays with them that way. Just my opinion.

[tom502]

Same thing with the American dip cans.

[Bigblue1]

I'm so use to being lied to by the gubment anymore, it really doesn't matter. Just throw the real info at em as rick said. If they are so diluted that they can't seek out the real info with a lil direction there's no hope for them anyway. Have I told you guys the story about my deceased uncle. Well my uncle who died of many things had mouth cancer at the end of his life. Well a couple of years ago I was at a family get together and threw a snus in. My Mom who thought I had quit dip, which i have said "you know your uncle died of mouth cancer from that stuff" Well I said "really Ma" She said "yes" I said "How long did you know uncle Keith" She said "since I knew Your dad" So I said "Like 45 years" she said "Yeah" I said "did you ever see him put a dip in his mouth" She said "no" I said "But he always smoked, correct" she said "yeah" So I said "what in the world would lead you to conclude that he got oral cancer from smokeless tobacco then" "well the doctor said he musta used it because he got mouth cancer" I was like WTF. Mom you are not a stupid person, What kinda logic is that. She didn't have an answer. I then showed her the statistics of mouth cancer being more prevalent in smokers than oral users. She couldn't believe it, but to this day she never makes a peep about my oral usage. Just saying

The new cans really suck. I love whipping out one of those cans with the large "Your Going To Die" warning labels on it when your showing it to a smoker you are trying to convince to switch to snus. I almost feel like I am asking them to give up caffeine for heroin.
