I hate today

Duuuuude. Your life DOES suck. You have my sympathies.

 

You don't chew snus. You'd throw up the second you tried. It's tobacco with some extra spices on it, which you put under your upper lip. Tastes delicious, and you get that wonderful kick from it.

 

It also chews itself up, making a hole, from your upper lip into your nose if you use it regularly.

I used it to some degree some time ago, but stopped since it made my worse at long distance running and made the veins in my arms become less visible.

 

What an unbelievably stupid drug...

 

Mathboy, only in some cases does your lip turn into a hole. My dad's been using snus since he was twelve, and he hasn't got any holes in his lips.

 

The one major advantage of being asthmatic - tobacco, no matter what form it may come in, is simply something I cannot have anything to do with. Ergo, no addiction.

 

Snus doesn't damage your lungs. Now what do you say about THAT!!!

 

i know you don't chew it. but in the US, snus is referred to as "chew."

 

*insert corny game-show fuck-up music here*

Bzzt! Wrong! Anything that can get into the system can maul an asthmatic. TRUST me on this one.

 

Ok, take it easy. I just said that it had nothing to do with your lungs, but the snus DOES effect your bloodcirculation. Which has a hell alot to do with your lungs.

 

And it´s also refferred as "dip" sometimes if I´m not mistaken. I´ve heard that in the US only rednecks use it.

 

I'm a cranky asthmatic. Comes from having a P.E. teacher at school who was convinced that my asthma was psycho-somatic and who kept sending me on kilometre-long runs in hope of 'breaking the habit'. I hated her. I still want her head on a pike.

 

Very true. The less-than-educated like to use it in our Country, where as the better ones of us simply smoke our tobacco. I personally'm quite fond of Virginia Slim's Ultra Ultra Lights, and Kamel Reds.

 

Weird, cause dip is like less hazardous to your health than smoking (of course, it isn´t dangerfree but still..).

 

You try sounding intelligent and educated when you've a cheek filled with chew. These guys doesn't do a <i>pinch</i> at a time, they stuff half their fuckin cheek with the stuff. They actually <i>chew</i> it.

 

Yea, snus and chew'ren't the same thing. You *can* put it under your lip, but I know a fair number of rednecks who tuck it in their cheek like oh so many squirrels. They ain't bright I tell ya. I had a friend who was trying to get my to try snuff... I turned him down... I felt like keeping my nose clean.

 

Haha, yeah, back in days (the 18th century) snuff was indeed ingested through snorting it.

 

I've had some snus a while ago, from a friend who got a masters degree in Sweden and just got back. It was ok, but I prefer smoking. Then again, I quit that as well (though I cheated a lot when Jinxed was in Holland, a week ago). I wonder when I'll be completely free of the nicotine cravings.
