is it normal to do this...?

[allenp]

hello everyone. I was wondering if any of you pop in a snus for about 20 minutes before bed, take it out, put it in the ashtray (2nd lid of snus can) sealed, and then re-use for another 20 minutes in the morning or would that not be a good idea?

Not sure if it is 'normal,' meaning, I don't think most people do that..but whatever floats your boat. If I have to pay appx. $6 a can, I may start recycling portions also!

I will be honest with you. Most of the time I pop in a Northerner snus and fall asleep with it. You wouldn't believe how real your dreams will feel. As far as reusing snus, thats a bit gross IMO but whatever floats your boat.

I do that sometimes. i re-use them. That's why I keep them in my ashtray, then I have some spares incase I run out. i only pop them in for about 10-20 minutes anyways, so they don't get used up all the way. It won't hurt you.

Never done that, I find it very disguisting to re-use a portion.

Never done that, I find it very disgusting to re-use a portion.

+1 can't reuse it but I guess it is a personal preference

Your mouth houses a wonderful concoction of bacteria. Once used the antiseptic properties of the snus' high salt content dissipates. So, leaving a portion out overnight, wet with your saliva, will grow whatever bacteria lands on it. Definitely not something I would recommend.

The one time I fell asleep with a portion in, I woke up to find a tobacco stain on my pillow where I'd been dribbling in my sleep. It looked like I'd wiped my arse on the pillow case. Wife not happy.

I have never done it. I think once its used its used. It wouldn,t be very pleasant, but each to his own.

I just throw them back in the can, it keeps them moist and it never empties.

I've only reused a portion if I've had it in for a minute or two and have to take it out for some reason. I think by the 3 minute mark or so it's cashed if I take it out. If it's fully wetted with my saliva and I tried to put it back in it wouldn't sit right and it would be cold and icky.

Tom, that's funny...

I have a couple times back in the day. No anymore. The coldness of it grosses me out.

@ muddy - one time I sneezed and the portion was gone. I looked for it for about 5 minutes. Finally found it laying on a white pillowcase. Had the brown smear on it as well. Wife was not happy indeed.

Exactly, you can turn a can of WP into OP

If you've had the snus in for 20 minutes, you'll have got all the nicotine out of it you're going to get anyway, so it's pretty pointless to keep it for later.

Thats funny I thought Snus was like a checkbook as long as you have checks you have money. And with snus as long as you have flavour you have nocotine.
I guess we learn something new everyday.
