Friend Puked First Time-Any Advice?

[Joe234]

I gave a friend a few portions to try out.
He smokes about 15 cigarettes daily.

Any advice?

Here is his account:

Friend wrote:
I did the 'General' this morning, upper lip. That lasted about 10
minutes. Then I puked.

Generally speaking, I DON'T puke. I truly cannot remember the last
time I puked, before Snus.

I dunno how this is going to work.

Yikes! Which one did he try?

Maybe a mini next time? IMO, General Mini White Mint is a great beginner snus. So are the Mocca's. Oomph would also be good. You can go down to 3mg nicotine with those.

And while opinions generally weigh against me, Marlboro Mild isn't too bad either, although the portion mouth-feel is on a par with getting a dental x-ray.

General Original is probably not the best choice for a first-timer. You may like it, but most newbies don't. I agree with danielan, start your friends out with a flavored mini. I started with Marlboro, and I still like their flavors, even if they are too sweet and lacking in nicotine.

When I 1st tried snus, it was an American Camel, Mellow, I think, and I came very close to puking, but I took it out and rested it out. Oral tobacco just acts different than smoking. I'd recommend some minis if he has a strong reaction.

Grow some balls.

Seriously, it takes a person a bit of time to get used to oral tobacco. I don't think puking your first time into it is really that extraordinary or worrisome. If your friend thinks snus might help him get off the sticks, it is going to take trying it more than one time to find out. It helps to make sure you have some food in your stomach also.

First snus ever for me, was thunder frosted. Puked after it was in for 1.5 hours, never puked again after it and I still use Thunder Berry.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Is your friend 14?

[visiON]

He could take a mini portion, cut it in half, and then use that. What 2mg/g nic?

[sgreger1]

I would suggest employing the 2 finger method:

Take two fingers, place them firmly above the vagina, and in one swooping motion swipe the sand out of said vagina.

Alternately, you may also take the 2 fingers and apply pressure to the vagina to stop the bleeding.

tell him to try a few tic tacs for a week or so, then move on to bubble gum for a while. If he can handle that then he should probably just buy candy cigatettes and stick with that. Snus isn't for everybody. However, most men can handle it.



@sgreger........no comment at this time. but.........I'lll think of something

Did he get sea-sick with all the salt? I started with General OP(besides Camel's) and it wasn't that bad. Tell him to man up.

[SnusGuy]

Thats really strange. When I switched from smoking to Snus, I never had a problem with the nicotine level on regular portions, only on stark ones. Maybe he was sick because of something else (like something he ate that day)?

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

The delivery is totally different. Sounds normal to me. Your friend just needs to get used to the new better way over time. Also, just cutting back on ciggs can make you sick. Tell your friend to keep smoking and keep trying snus and wait to judge.

[PipenSnus]

Just throwing out a possibility here, but the thought just crossed my mind that it might be an allergic reaction, maybe to the bergamot. Does your friend have any other allergies, especially food allergies?

[midnight]

Just use minis until they seem to be lacking in nicotine, then try moving into large portions. White portions are also good to start with; sometimes regular portions can make beginners nauseous with the strong drip. I'd start with general mini mint whites, move up to an 8mg mint white portion, and then start trying out some more traditionally flavored snuses of both white and regular portion varieties. You'll get used to the saltiness & bergamot very quickly, then it's time to get a can of lös!
