Anyone here like snus?

I like snus, really good stuff, wondering if anybody on the forum likes this stuff.

Just ordered a couple cans from Sweden:

Would you use it if it didn't contain nicotine?

 

[tyman]

God no.

Yes, it taste good!

Oh, snuff. Not me.

Oh, snuff. Not me.

not exactly... it's further processed, some even fermented, and some, not all, sold in pouch form. designed to dissolve in your mouth. no need to spit.

I've never used it myself. Former smoker, no nicotine for years, but about a year ago I got into Zyn pouches.
I get the weak ones (3mg) in the Menthol flavor (when i did smoke it was more for the menthol than the nicotine)
Zyn, Onn, there's a few other brands.. contain no Tobacco. made from Labratory grade nicotine salts with sweeteners and flavorings.

should I quit using them? absolutely. I know better... I can go days without with no ill effects...
but... it's the only vice i really have....

English nasal snuff - yes

That stuff will kill you just as easily as smokes will.

I wasn't a smoker but I liked this stuff - both snus and nicotine pouches. I gave them up a couple of years ago. The Swedish way of processing tobacco is supposed to reduce tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNs) to a very low level compared to American smokeless products. So, there may be a much lower incidence of cancer, but the pH is still adjusted to result in maximum nicotine absorption. I ended up with red, angry, irritated gums. My periodontist asked me what the heck I was doing. When I told her she just said, "Stop using that stuff." I was using them continuously throughout the day, though. Perhaps using them with breaks might not result in such significant irritation.
