unconscious Snusing

[vogi tobacco]

I work overnight at a hotel.

I am usually open about my snusing. I tent to keep three snus cans on me at all times. Since I am working the midnight shift, I keep my cans on the desk. I also work 2nd shift as well, and tend to use portions, for more easy access.

Since it is late night, and i do not need to talk as much, I tend to use loose snus, and use larger amounts. There is a guest still up at three in the morning, and just sitting there talking to me. (I have snus in my mouth) The guest sees my metal "Icetool" tin and we start talking about smokeless tobacco. Ten minutes into the conversation, I take my snus out and throw it in the waste basket. The guest asks if I would be offended if he were to dip infront of me. I give him an empty bottle and we continue talking. After a few minutes, he asks me how my snus tastes. I open my can to offer him some, and he starts to laugh at the empty can. I look puzzled as he then tells me that I just put the last of it in my mouth as he was asking the question.

I REACHED THAT POINT. I have now reached the point of snusing where I put a snus in my mouh with out realizing it.

(anyways. I am now sitting here with only one can left, because I gave the guest one of my portion cans, left a guest well informed on swedish snus, and a few websites on how he can order some.) I think I just converted someone.

I notice I also use nasal snuff in public a lot too. I also do with out thinking. I realize this as I get a few weird stares.

Ok, now that's kinda funny.
It's interesting that you would snus unconsciously. I've never met anyone who dips or smokes without realizing it, I guess because smoking is prohibited in so many places and because dip requires spitting.

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME! its really weird when I realised there is a snus in my lip and I have no idea when/where I popped the bugger in. @pouchface, I did once make a rollup (cigarette) put it in my mouth and only when I went to find my lighter did I wonder why I was looking for a lighter and as such realised I had rolled and gone to smoke. I think my brain is so steeped in tobacco juices that it has worked its way deep within my subconscious. It was a weird sensation though, your subconscious mind really does have a hell of a control over your body

Yeah I've done this recently actually. It make Thanksgiving with my parents fun (who didn't know I use tobacco). I finished eating, and popped in a portion without even thinking about it. And heard something along the lines of "what the hell did you just put in your mouth?"

I've gotten rid of snus unconsciously. Feel it missing up there with my tongue and think "when did I get rid of that?".

Myself, being an introvert, rarley go out. I developed the habbit of putting in a snus or sniff snuff because i don't find it weird. I do forget that when I am in public, it is not common, but always up for the conversation about tobacco.


And for disgarding the snus... I usually am the same way. Muscle reflex. HERE is when you know you are an expert snuser. When you know when exactly to take out a snus before it gets gross. I never really think about taking it out, I just take it out. The other day I was at a car dealerhip signing my life away and already had a portion in for about an hour. Since I carry around a metal box, with no catch lid, I just throw the portion in the trash. My girlfriend sees me fidgiting in my seat and looking more and more green.

TWO HOURS LATER, we finally get out of the office, and I spit the portion n the parking lot, and throw up. I forgot how nasty they can get, since it is just a reflex that you take it out with out thinking about it.

(living with a person who uses snus/snuff, she never notices when I slip one in, or take a sniff either. It is normal) When we have friends over, we both need to think when they give me a weird look if i use one.

I once moved a used portion from lip to catch lid while reading the menu in a restaurant, I might have not noticed at all except my wife's comment of "gross" from across the table..........

That was tongue in cheek by the way. Cant stand mindfulness.

Guys.......step one.....with the tongue move the portion from lip to mouth......step two....fake cough portion into hand......step three dispose of portion (in cuff of pants, flick it under the desk, down between the cushions of the chair.......whatever) but no more barfing in the parking lot.

Wait a minute or so......and reload......portion to hand....cough it in the mouth....set it with tongue

Now...when you can do all of that with los.......then you are a pro

Haha, with los, that must be an art form. Portions, I can lose and replace in a blur.

Can't stand mindfulness...so you prefer mindlessness?

I would add that it is much easier to extract your portion than to insert your portion...this applies to the bedroom as well...
