your snuff community

I’ve had a few people try it, but most people just say, “Ew, weird,” and walk away…

Just my younger brother in Texas but the snuff he has are samples that I gave him, although he is a regular snuser.

I have three including my brother, all casual users of medicated snuffs, mainly McChrystal’s O&G.

Nope… Only my Neighbour, cause I offerd it to him. But never ever saw it before in my life… And I like to keep it my little secret too :slight_smile:

I have about 6 or 7 friends who might take a pinch with me in the pub, but two members of my band are now pretty dedicated snuffers now, as well as another couple of friends who I introduced the Sacred Powder to. So 4 then.

I have one friend that snuffs a little, But he is the only one (he introduced me to snuff) that i know and he doesnt use it as often as me. Most of the times he does not look as interested as i in doing it or knowing better the different snuffs around. I would love to have more snuffing friends.:slight_smile:

I don’t know anyone who uses snuff, and my students don’t like the fact that I use it at all. There used to be a place outside one of the campus buildings where I would go to smoke, and it became a socializing spot for many students. Now that I don’t smoke at work anymore, the campus police chase students away when they try to congregate there to smoke. They are constantly egging me on to start smoking again to recreate that social space that used to exist around smoking and bitching about current events. It’s very tempting.

@LHB :Don’t be tempted :wink:

You could still go there and snuff.

LHB, time to get the students snuffing?

I’ve tried to get them interested, to the point of actually stopping in the middle of a lecture to do a huge pinch, and sarcastically imitate the effects of an intense burn. But they think it’s crazy. My school has one of the very highest smoking rates among students in the country, however. It’s a conservative Catholic thing that I don’t fully understand.

0 here. In South Florida it’s mostly cigs and cigars, some dip and chew. I mostly use snus and haven’t seen/met anyone else that does. Tried to offer some to people I know that were trying to quit smoking or that used dip and they just gave me funny looks.

@LHB: Catholics do like smoking, don’t they? I once had a (low paying) job teaching medieval philosophy at an elite (expensive) Catholic girls’ prep school. It seemed to me than 9 out of 10 students were chain smokers, as were 99% of the nuns. The Mother Superior/principal kept a carton of Pall Malls on her desk alongside a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black. I estimated that she went through a few bottles per week. Oh, the stories I could tell about these nuns. They were just out of it. Oh, and the students were lousy. Half of them failed, but I soon discovered that it didn’t matter what grade I gave them. The “office” would override it and give them an “A” no matter what. Their parents were certainly shelling out a hell of a lot of money for these grades, I tell you that. Where did all that money go, I wonder? All the while, we “secular” instructors were barely earning a living wage. What a joke it all was.

I’ve actualy ran into several snuser. All of whom where suprised I knew what it was. All of them found it by not wanting to go nicotine less at bars. Snus is kind of a private hobby no one needs to know you do it.

That’s the one dim glow of hope I have post-PACT; with so many states going smokefree (my beloved Michigan coming this May, uurrrrrggghhh), actual Swedish snus just might take off!

Well, I have 1 friend who lives 8 hours away that snuff. Noone local. Although, in the last week, I’ve introduced two people to snuff and they both seemed to really like it so there is hope.

One guy I go to school with, I had let him try some WoS Xtra CoC a few weeks ago, well he showed up with his own tap out box of Ozona Spearmint

All online acquaintances. Those I know in the analog world see my use of snuff as some sort of anachronistic affectation! But they’re still smoking and I’m not…

@OTD I’ve been told that I have an ‘old soul’ due to my love of pipe tobacco, snuff, and while most people my age are sipping Jack and Coke I’m drinking Scotch on the rocks.

hehe Forget the ice; Bourbon, Scotch or Rum, straight shots all the way. Sadly I’ve the old body to go with my old soul… What I find interesting is that the folks I know that enjoy cigars and pipes for the taste and socializing aspects, flat refuse to even try snuff. All the more for those if us who do enjoy a pinch.
