Logically your right but imagine finding your teenage kid screwing while using a condom. You should be happy the kid was using a condom but they are still screwing.

I absolutely agree with you, Vegan. One of the best comparisons I can logically think of. Thankfully, I'm going back to my apartment today where I can snus in peace. Phew.

Let me ask you that question after you have a kid.

I almost guarantee my kids will start smoking at 13. 5th generation pre-teen smoker. So that'd be a great alternative i think i could respect.

I would agree wholeheartedly. Logically, better to not use tobacco at all. However, if one were to start using tobacco, snus would be the best choice from a health standpoint. I don't have kids of my own yet either, but I do have a little brother. If in his teenage years, he picked up snusing instead of smoking or dipping, I'd be proud.

Really? I wouldn't wish tobacco addiction on my worst enemies let alone my kid. When he turns 18, he is free to use tobacco. I hope he chooses not to use tobacco period. IMO snus would be better than smoking but it is not better than not using tobacco at all. Until he is 18, I will defend my right as a parent to punish him for going anywhere near the stuff.
