Here’s the best blurb from one I found that just makes me lmao— sounds like something out of Reefer Madness or something… Check this out… “Behavioral Symptoms When a person begins to abuse smokeless tobacco, she also displays several behavioral symptoms indicating the substance abuse. She may display an unexplained change in personality and attitude, a general lack of energy, self-esteem and motivation, forgetfulness, chronic dishonesty and an unexplained need for money. Other behavioral symptoms include a change in habits, hobbies and activities, an unexplained excessive need for privacy, moodiness, suspicious behavior, nervousness, a change in grooming habits, a change in performance at work or school and a sudden avoidance of family, friends and acquaintances.” EDIT: here’s the url, you lazy, thieving, nervous, dirty, etc… smokeless tobacco users (me too, LOL) : http://www.ehow.com/info\\_8463766\\_smokeless-tobacco-abuse-symptoms.html

Oh and please keep your mittens out of your Mum’s purse! Addicts!! One and all!! :))

Those “behavioral symptoms” are for cocaine addicts not tobacco users, the bitch just took a cocaine article and replaced the word cocaine with smokeless tobacco

@lunecat um yes… agreed on all fronts… but I’m speechless from laughing, frankly :)) *drains wife’s bank account, smashes son’s piggy bank…

@lunecat @n9inchnails * “a change in grooming habits”: ah, no wonder I’ve been licking my armpit hair!!! * “general lack of energy”: mrs. desaix can you please pick up a tube of superior for me? I’m too tired… * “unexplained excessive need for privacy”: please keep your mits out of my snuffbox! * “nervousness”: oh #$#%#! I’m out of SG Black Coffee!!! * “unexplained change in personality and attitude”: I hate anti-tobacco types * “a change in performance at work or school”: oh my I can think so much more clearly when I use WE 41 * “sudden avoidance of family, friends and acquaintances”: rest assured if you agree with this article, I’m avoiding you like plague Yup, I exhibit all of the aforementioned symptoms… :))

Snuff primary leads to nasal drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine. Then one injects opium and morphin to his veins. I think it can be somehow explained, because of method of taking snuff by young people - most of them take it with tube, so it can look like taking drugs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2xhoYHasmY Nevertheless, that is quite popular view on snuff in Poland - especially in 40-50 age range. Those older remember snuff from its childhood, younger ones just like snuff. But still, many of them thinks it is “awful, horrible, disgusting” etc. Imho the most awesome are newspapers, those internet ones too. For example, wadowice24.pl - 16.06.2009 “High school student had inhaled snuff and took painkillers. Now he’s fighting for life in the hospital. (…) He will be judged because of threat of demoralisation” During Polish Snufftakers Cup in Chmielno, someone called a police because of “possibility of advertising tobacco products”. And Gazeta Wyborcza: article called “Childrens takes snuff like a drug” “That is horrifying game - comments our interlocutor, mother of high school student - After all, this is is nothing but an introduction to drugs! Besides, how can I be sure that in a few days someone will not appear at the school, maybe a nice gentleman with a few boxes of snuff for students seeking experience? Except that he added to the milled tobacco something much more dangerous?!” And so on…

@Viertel sadly that’s the way my brother does it. But he and his friends use it as forfeits for loosing bets …

Never mind

All ehow articles are useless drivel. Thousands of clueless writers crank out those articles in order to make a few dollars. They mostly just seem to make shit up, and no part of the content is reviewed before publishing. I first bumped into these lies when someone linked into some pipe cleaning advice on a pipe smokers forum. It may have been this one: http://www.ehow.com/how\\_6705643\\_clean-smoking-pipes.html

@jari_t Of course they are – but nonetheless amusing

@CousinStuffy I can confirm that so far snuff has only done me good, my sinus issues have cleared right up. And of course this was a legitimate scientific experiment, you can trust me

that pipe cleaning article isnt for tobacco smoking pipes like the one pictured… what tobacco pipes do you know with a carb?

Right you are, I linked to a wrong article. My bad. Can’t find now the really shit one I meant, but here’s a couple of bad ones: http://www.ehow.com/how\\_6002985\\_repair-briar-pipe.html http://www.ehow.com/how\\_6679281\\_restore-dunhill-tobacco-pipes.html http://www.ehow.com/how\\_6948221\\_smoke-meerschaum-pipe.html

Calia Roberts’ article appears to be full of contradictions. “increase or loss of appetite” ??? Make up your mind. “an unexplained change in weight”, well if she blame smokeless tobacco then it isn’t unexplained! “unusual laziness, … inability to sleep” Which is it then? No links or references to any studies or the like. No it is just an article written out of anti-tobacco prejudice & ignorance.

I don’t see any contradictions… “Increase or loss of appetite” merely indicates that something can change your appetite without specifying whether it increases or decreases. “Unexplained change in weight”… smokeless tobacco might be the why but not the how. There is a big difference between listlessness and insomnia. I leave it to others to decide whether or not she plagerized an article, cutting and pasting “smokeless tobbacco” in.

She says “she”. It only effects female snuff users that way.

Reminds me of when I was in high school study hall in 9th grade. Someone left a pamphlet about marijuana at the table I was sitting at. I read it because there was nothing else to do. The signs of marijuana use sounded like the behavioral aspects of puberty. Writing they would “start acting like teenagers” would have saved some ink. I couldn’t help but loudly say what bull shit.
