Snuffing in public

I'm not sure how smokeless tobacco would affect someone that's sitting besides you anyways.

Don't you know about the minuscule amounts of smoke that come out of it when it's under your lip? Those are highly cancerous, toxic and dangerous! Must not expose other people to secondhand snus!

Isn't that when you spit it in someone's eyes? Secondhand snus should only be used as a defensive measure.

I know right? I have often asked myself that same question. The whole original no-smoking push was because we were protecting others from 2nd hand smoke. Now that 90% of the places are smoke free everyone is switching to the no-tobacco policy (like colleges, hospitals, some airlines, etc.)

It's none of their f**king business if I want to have a portion in my mouth. As long as tobacco is legal and not a controlled substance and doesn't affect anyone else they should not have the right to dictate my behavior. It's the anti-tobacco nazis pushing their agenda as I have been saying all along.

I live in the U.K and have no problem with snuffing in public, I think there still is a memory of snuff use here so most people pay it no mind. My sense is that in the U.S it is much easier to attract social disapproval.

I think snuff was as popular in the U.S just like it was in the U.K.

The problem is that the youth generation and teens don't have the smallest idea of what it is..

I've turned a few heads here in Europe by snuffing in public ... everyone was saying that I snort cocaine.

Offer them some and see how many takers you get!!!

That can be said for just about anything around here.

Everyone's out to ban anything that doesn't suit their prejudices.

I used to be one of those people who would look down on people who used snuff, and to me they looked like drug addicts (I just recently started, finished my first tin today). This was back in school, and now I have found out that almost all of the girls in my class snuffed collectively in the bathroom, so it was pretty common place/popular I guess. The weird thing is that snuff is banned in Lithuania (where I'm from), and it is quite popular among teens, my cousin always asks me to bring him some when I come home from London.

story time eh?

First time i observed a coworker doing it i was highly surprised because where i worked had random drug testing, and yes i thought he was doing coke, i was like damn man how you havent got caught ... he says its "snuff" ... asked him what that was and he let me try some ... that shit BURNED!! later every now and then when doing some he would offer me a little, and eventually i bought my own can, much to his amusement.

couple of times i was asked if i was doing coke, and as others have said in this thread, people seemed more disgusted when they found out it was tobacco

the best however, was i came home after a sunday of heavy drinking, and took a snuff in the street, (folks didnt know about it) ... next day got asked if i was doing drugs, no, dad then asked am i doing snuff ... figured the jig was up and fessed up ... he then told me to cut it out and cut back on the drinking too.

as for nose dripping, i tried to limit use in public and stuck to doing it in the car, mtn biking in the woods, or around friends who knew what was happening

They don't want to try it ...

Most people aren't that open minded... they prefer to smoke the filthy cigarettes thinking that they're much safer because everyone smokes

[Veganpunk]

I use it whenever. Screw what others think!

I work in a low-cubicle office environment and I snuff and snus all day. I held up my snuff box today and asked if anyone wanted one. Nobody says crap to me about it. I do catch them looking at my mouth when I have a fat pris in though, but it doesn't bother me. My buddy on second shift comes in and asks for a snuff most days. He sneezes and everyone just laughs. I guess I work with good tolerant people and only one tobacco user among the bunch.

I just ordered some snuff bullets since most people assume I am snorthing Heroin when I use the end of a Slurpee straw as a snuff spoon to sniff a brown powder. The last thing i need is a cop to see me taking a "bump" going down the road and hitting me with a paraphenlia charge.

exactly

screw what others think
