Ha! the first time I mentioned to my family members that I use snus I got some flak. But after I put everyone back in their barrels all has been well here.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......
I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

I went from Grizzly Mint to snus. My friends think my snus taste funny and my wife still bugs me to quit. She says its still tobacco and cant be that safe. I can show her research or talk til im out of breath but it doesnt matter. You know how women can be.
A lot of disapproving wives here lol. I have a disapproving husband. He used to smoke himself, then snus, then he quit and would like me to do as well. But it affects his health in a bad way (heart) so I am glad he quit. My family (Norwegians, so it's not only Americans who are misinformed!) hate it and thinks it's just as bad as smoking, only not as bad smelling. Except my dad and one sister who use it themselves.
My wife has become more quiet about it. She was annoying at first telling me how harmful snus is, but I had her read a few things and that seemed to take care of it. I am sure that she appreciates the lack of smoker odor more than she will ever admit! I've spoken to a couplee of people about the change, but they think snus is dip, I'm done trying to explain.
My wife loves that I quit smoking and went to snus...although I get shit whenever I get an order(even though it's cheaper than my cig habit was). She likes the fact that it doesn't affect my son like my second/third hand smoking would. Plus, 90% of the time she doesn't know I have one in...My mom has the typical mom response, "that smells like shit and your teeth and gums are gonna fall out." She won't read the info I show her...so my response is would you rather I smell like an ashtray?
Friends and fam see snus as a discusting habit. My friends and I sit there with an ear to ear smile with a fat lip packed, laughing at the smokers who cough up phlegm and kill themselves. I gave up defending snus, everyone has a smartphone and wikipedia at their fingertips if they want to know the real truth. PEACE!
I've been so busy with grad school and teaching that I've neglected my health these past few months. Chinese food, beer, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and lots...
