Some of you may remember my friend who puked on General OP.
He then got on to General Mini Mint and seemed to tolerate

involving his Type 1 Diabetes. Here is his account.

I had a horrible reaction to the snus last night. I mean, horrible. I
thought I was dying. I realize now that it has been building up to
that. I've just not made the connection before, between putting a snus
in my mouth, and feeling bad.
And looking back on it... and I had occasion to see my med records a
few days ago... my heart issues started just about precisely when I
started using snus.
I would, if I were you, take a serious look at your use of those
things. Perhaps there's a reason why they're outlawed so many places.
Just a heads up.

well, I have a pacemaker now.
I don't think it's coincidence. Looking back, there was always enough
gap between putting it in my mouth and any health effects, but
yesterday noon, and then again last night, there was no doubt. I got
seriously sick-- not nauseated, but 'heart' sick-- after putting one
in my mouth.
Today, I am fine, good energy, continuing my convalescence. I'm sure
that sooner rather than later the heart thing would have surfaced--
I've been type one diabetic for 50 years, after all. Heart problems
come with the territory.
Just be careful. At the first hint of ANYthing, quit the things. I'm
proud of you for being smoke free. I certainly haven't managed that.
And cigarettes seem to have no effect on my system. Of course, I don't
smoke very much either.
