Ok i'll preface this by saying I've been using snus for 2 years mostly General White portion and Oden's occasionally. So I'm not a newbie per say. I just can't bring myself to swallow my saliva from snus. Maybe it's because I switched from dip to snus that I was used to spitting and just continued to. Can someone explain exactly how it is safe? I know that snus is much safer than american dip but it still doesn't seem safe to swallow this solid brown spit. Even white portions still make your saliva solid brown. And yes I put it in my upper lip like you're supposed to. I'm not talking about short term stomach and throat irritation because that's not really an issue, I mean stomach cancer or something from putting tobacco juice in your body.

I will say that it was quite brave of you to start a thread in this forum with that title. -
I didn't think much about it honestly. It was a serious inquiry.Comment

Worry not. Snus is less carcinogenic than dip and dip is far less carcinogenic than smoking. If snus juice does not irritate your stomach then gulp away in safety.Comment

Some scientific literatures have reported that tobacco contains a remarkable amount of antioxidants which is even higher than many fruits and vegetables, therefore I believe use of tobacco is safe as long as it is not burned, even benefits your body. I'M SERIOUS!Comment

Aside from some possible heartburn, it's probably fine. Also, inb4 PP.Originally posted by FrostedComment

How has PP not responded yet? Someone better check on him to make sure he's OK!Comment

My thinking is along this line. In the end, tobacco is just a vegetable. People swallow lettuce, spinach, and broccoli without problem. It's the preparation that matters. Adding smoke, or fire to preparation increases carcinogen count. That includes processed meats, and scotch. Take away the fire, and things safen up nicely.Originally posted by choligeetu View PostComment

Snus.Comment

Bro having come from 25+ years of dipping to snus..........the difference between the two is worlds apart
The way the two products are processed (cured, the additives included, and etc) are worlds apart. Snus is regulated as a food product ........Dip is not
I lower lip and spit when I want to........I upper lip (los) when I don't want to spit......actually I both spit and don't spit when lower decking it........it just depends......sometimes a man has just gotta spit
So my advice is....begin with a pris/portion in the upper lip.....keep a bottle of water, cola, beer.... whatever at hand.......instead of spitting just take a swig........(I take it that as a dipper you know how to drink with tobacco in....if not......just let us know and we can help there as well)
Pretty soon you will forget to take a swig and you will be on your way
Treat the snus like hard candy
Let me know if this makes no sense.....or if you have any further questions....and I will try to clarify
Oh and if Karen shows up..........
............ignore everything she says.....unless you want a career in low budget films shot in seedy hotels

Thanks for all the replies guys. You made me feel a lot better. Snusdog how many times when you dipped did you swallow your saliva? I never did it on a regular basis but I did numerous times in high school when I was young and dumb. I wonder how bad that was.Comment

I never swallowed dip spit.......ever........if I did it was not intentional and the results were undesirable (I chain dipped Copenhagen, Red Seal, Timber Wolf)Originally posted by AltarsofMadness View Post
I swallow snus all the time (probably 80% of the time).......it is like tea....seriously....steeped leaves
No problem
