I was curious if anyone has seen or had any info on the status of Blue Whale? I read some articles on it a couple years back. Basically from what I read it was a dip made from tea leaves (no tobacco at all), but the tea leaves were infused with nicotine, so you could dip and enjoy nicotine without the dangers of tobacco. Has anyone seen this sold or have info on it? I can't find their official site anymore and its hard to find info on it online. It seemed like it had a lot of potential. I hope they didn't scrap the idea.

I was trying to do a bit of research on it a few weeks ago. Every link I came across was either dead, or dated for several years ago. I believe the latest one was in 2008, and after that it appears to vanish.
I think it's another product that went belly up. The closest you'd probably get now is purified snus.
On the other hand, if anyone has any information on non-tobacco snuff/snus that contains nicotine, I'd be interested in it just out of curiosity! -
Oops I thought this was a thread about my ex girlfriend.. Carry onComment

I remember i saw something on the news about 10 years ago that was about a new snus from a small company that made non tobacco snus, made from some herbs and stuff.. have no idea if it still exists and if, where to buy it.. gonna take a look.Originally posted by Anthony85Comment

From what I have read, Blue Whale contains very low levels of nicotine compared to traditional moist snuff. It was marketed as a way to reduce both the harm and nicotine inherent in tobacco.Comment

They should put nicotine in that Smokey Mountain stuff. I think I'd buy it again if that were the case as I found it to be the only one I could keep in my lip for more than ten minutes. That one is made primarily of corn silk but there is a mother load of sugars in there if I'm not mistaken.Comment

Corn silk is an issue in it's own right. The old formulation of Onico used corn silk, and Swedish Match found it caused tooth rot. They paid some dental bills, and changed the formulation. I'd be VERY leery of using any non-tobacco snus. Snus has had centuries of testing, and is safe enough. Anything new has had minimal testing, and there may be unforeseen consequences.Originally posted by WickedKitchen View PostComment

I think there was a issue with FDA approval, similar to any product (non pharma) that would be allowed to be infused with nicotine.Comment

I'll buy a can of the blue ocean in my order when I get my tax refund prob next week or week after and report back here.. I'm scared though it'll taste like a mix of tuna and if someone squeezed out their swimming trunks.. Or maybe if skruf girl squeeze out her bikini that would be cool.Comment

I prefer my tobacco products to actually contain tobacco, thank you very much.
And nice one on the ex slam, eric. I myself thought this might be an update on the status of the protected ocean dwelling creature, but alas, it is just the name of some tea snuff. If anyone wishes to dip tea I am fully available to read through your subsequent reviews about what a terrible experience that was.Comment
