Re: Snus

Sounds like what I used to refer to as snuff, or is that something different?

it's a little pouch of tobacco that you keep in your mouth - popular in Scandinavian countries for a few years and now over here
ridiculous thing to start up if you ask me

Re: Snus

Just like Dipping tobacco I imagine, which is popular with baseball players.

My Mate was doing it when I was back home.

Re: Snus

It's odd in that it's illegal to sell but not use

Re: Snus

My mate in Norway used to use the stuff. It's very strong by all accounts, he had to start smoking to wean himself off the high nicotine content.

Re: Snus

I worked with a load of Swedes in the mid 90's and most of them used it yet very few smoked. Horrible stuff really burnt your gums

Re: Snus

Is that the same as twist which miners used to chew because they couldn't have a fag underground?

Re: Snus

Didn’t realise it was illegal, thought it was available just not at all popular (anymore). Thought that’s what that Nordic Spirit stuff was that I’d noticed advertisements about the place for, and it was some attempt at reviving a product, but looks like that’s nicotine pouches.
