Can I bum snus off you?

[Polluted]

I'm sure everyone here knows in America it's not completely over stepping ones bounds when bumming a ciggarete. But what about snus?

Hell even dip? Do people in sweden actually spare a portion or even los! In the us do people ask for some chew in states where it's popular.

I'm pretty sure I could snus for the next 20 years here in California and I would have to literally shove a portion in someone's mouth to get them to try it or even use some to hold them over until they found a ciggarete. I would be delighted to actually find someone who wanted to enjoy some snus with me.....but noooo. All I get is some smart ass comments from friends and family about cancer and how shocking it is I "chew tobbacco". Kind of silly when they would probably shrug it off or not say a word if it was a pack of cowboy killers in my pocket

In Sweden, snus users stick together. We know the pain of being out of snus, and will gladly spare one to a person in need. The exception would be the people that "don't snus", but "like the taste" and end up bumming on every hour or so. You know the type... if you've ever smoked you probably had your fair share of those. "Oh I can't buy my own pack because I quit"... then god damn it don't steal mine! Haha.

Fixed it for you:"Oh I can't buy my own pack because I quit buying my own" The old rebuff was, "Sorry I only have one left."

Here's one for you polluted, I had a buddy I worked with who dipped and he would bum snus off me and I'd steal a pinch of skoal off him.

That's beautiful....like when a nazi and an Russian soldier shake hands in the end of a ww2 movie

I have offered tons of smokers snus but alas only nonesmokers decided to try and now im left guilt ridden, am i a snus pusher? hmm...

[taffyjock]

If I liked the person I'd happily share my Snus, if I didn't if still share but use ones from the catch lid

Saw this thread and had to share...I found it almost impossible to explain snus to my inbred dip loving friends so I gave up a long time ago and I don't know any other snus users near me so I've never really shared with anyone like in my smoking days.

So this past weekend I was playing a gig and a friend that has come to see us play for years ran out of dip. He came up to the stage between sets and asked if I had any of that "foreign stuff" I love so much. Just to be a smartass, I tossed him a can of Siberia that I had just gotten last week. A bit later he was sitting with his head down on a table sweating profusely. He popped two pouches in his lower lip and was sick in 5 minutes. I was under the impression he had learned his lesson talking junk about me using snus instead of dip. He's been asking me all about it since.

That is epic! Dude must have had visions at that dose...

I think I may have converted a smoker last night. Gave him a can of Islay and he tried to and really liked it even once the whiskey flavour left he said the tobacco flavour of it was really nice. I guess some people so have both taste and sense

That's great news bro. I've been trying that for a year but it hasn't gone so well. The first guy was a dj that worked for me. He ran out of dip and found some of my Kronan in the office fridge. (I haven't even seen kronan los for sale in a while) I think when he packed his lip it freaked him out pretty bad. Then the little episode above happened not long ago. Maybe if I introduced people to really good snus like Islay it would go better. I'm just too selfish to share my good stuff much. I've given away phantom blue and roda lacket los to people and I think it got tossed but I didn't put the best foot forward with those. The sad thing is that in this area the only easy to find snus is General in original, mint and wintergreen and none of those flavors are really going to get a smoker or dipper into snus in my opinion. I needed strong stuff like Odens Extreme or Thunder Extra to squash the nic bug. And bergamot isn't really a traditional flavor associated with tobacco to Americans so most old fashioned snus recipes aren't going to be palatable until you are into snus.

I haven't gotten my order in yet, but my roommate is a smoker and he wants to quit so I told him he can bum some snus off me when it comes in. I'm all for sharing, if I'm on the plane on my way home in December and see someone freaking out needing some nicotine, I'll definitely share. It's a easy conversation starter.
