snuff

Wait a second... Gotenborg's RAPE? How did I miss that?!

[∀ Narayan]

Yay for carcinogens!?

No, absolutely not.

[Grave]

Never been interested in snuff or chew. Cigarettes are just fine.

Never known anybody who used snuff, either, and only one guy who used to dip. Not a common thing to do for college age people, I guess. Is this somehow different in Europe?

[YellerDog]

Europeans love Rape.

I'll tell you what's worse than the actual chew: The spit bottle. A day old spit bottle is probably the sickest thing ever, and probably the closest I've ever come to heaving in public.

I have a 3 week old spit bottle sitting on the floor in my car, I don't dip that often but it's pretty fucking sick.

ha ha you got me +1. I just wanted to put in my vote for the "I thought it was going to be about death films or something"

It's mainly a scandinvian thing. As smoking was banned from public places like café and discos, more young people turn to smoke-free tobacco.
This variant I use are pouches which are put under your upper lip:

- the nicotine is then absorbed through the capillaries, also you don't 'spit' - or anything like that. You are not sucking on the pouch but rather keeping the area dry.

There is also the 'loose' snuff (snus) - which you press into a pellet yourself and push under your upper lip.



Then there are the 3 containers to the very left on the top picture. Those are german snuffs. You snort them like you would snort cocaine.




According to the swedish snuff industry, the stuff doesn't cause cancer, and they haven't been disproved yet:

Does Swedish Snus cause cancer?
None of the scientific studies from Sweden which has been published in the last years has found any association between Swedish Snus and cancer in the mouth and stomach.

Wait a second... Gotenborg's RAPE? How did I miss that?!

I'm so glad someone noticed!
'Göteborg rapé' - I always pronounce it in english when I buy.

the one is called mocca anis......

Believe it or not, snuff is bigger with women in Scandinavia than with men, many brands, like the 'Mocca' cater towards the females. If a guy is seen in public using 'Mocca' he might be ridiculed a homosexual, which incidentally happened to me. It taste like licorice though, which is cool with me.

Your supposed to inhale it through your nose. I do snuff sometimes but I've never seen it in those white packets like that.

The snorting snuff is the german variant which is mainly used down south near the alps. The packets make the snuffing more hygenic. It's basically tobacco mixed with saltwater.

isn't this the shit that you tuck somewhere in your cancer-infested cheek?

someone please explain the difference between this and chewing tobacco.

chewing tobacco is a whole other scene. There is hardly a market for that anymore. I tried it and it's awful.

I used dip to quit smoking cigarettes. It worked.

I had a problem with dip for a short, short time, haven't fucked with it in a bit.

I imagine if I take a road trip I'll be dipping whilst driving. It makes it impossible to fall asleep. Smell a tin of berry blend, or sour apple skoal. It smells like candy.

Never snorted tobacco up my nose. Whats that all about?

[Satsuki]

Snuff is one of the few things I won't do. And that's a pretty short list.

[Calliander]

All of the supposedly good-smelling snuff smells like ass. You're all wrong.
