Snussing on holiday?

[Chewbacca]

I am going to Turkey for one week. On the health department website it says to wash your hands if visibly dirty and also if not visibly dirty if handling something someone else with germs on their hands have touched.

I went before to the same place but I switched to smoking until I came back. I don’t really want to get out of breath on walks and things but I don’t know if smoking would be safer than snussing out there. What does anyone think?

I don’t really want to wash my hands with alcohol gel and then touch a snus portion…

Congrats on your upcoming trip. Id probably not use gel and not wash my hands either, but you are talking to someone who got super sick in Africa years back. Hahah. And no, it wasn't from eating Monkey brains for sale or messing with any hookers. Think it was the plantains.

Never been there but it is on the list. Whenever I travel I don’t really take extra precautions. I watch what I touch, and wash my hands accordingly…but I’ll eat questionable street food after wandering around all day/public transit/subway with minimal sanitizing of the hands…sometimes that’s how it happens.

I do try to stick to portions when out of my general routine though. Seems cleaner/neater and if I gotta ditch it it’s easy.

Thanks. Would you guys just smoke for a week?

Maybe a Cigar each or every other night, but personally wouldn't do cigs. The taste of those things years back, a month after starting snusing but falling off the wagon for one night, was all I needed to never want another one again. Tasted like hot poison. You could always play "bobbing for apples" with your snus. The added benefit possibly being the locals might think youre nuts and leave you be.

I'm thinking that you are over thinking and making an issue for yourself. Wash your hands when needed, say if you touch a restroom door handle, stair or door handle, shake hands, etc. like when there was covid. Let your hands dry and grab a snus. Just my opinion...

Have a great time!

Thanks all of you :-)

I enjoyed panatellas for a year or two and had the odd larger cigar even a few Cubans but I don’t want to get into them again.

You could always go for a tin of snuff and a snuff spoon…if you were into that.

Thanks. I love the scents of nasal snuff but it doesn’t really give me the nicotine I need but now you’ve said that I may pack some Poschl I have in the cupboard to take aswell.

I will take sterk snus I’m sure all will be fine. Going to take some freebie nic pouches for the flight too just just in case my snus gets seized (I’m sure.it won’t).

Figured if it came down to choosing between inhaling cig smoke or doing some cigars, figured the latter was the safer option for your lungs. But I hear you, I bought a bunch of cheapies that'll probably last over a year- For me, the weather has to be just right and it is a no no in the house, so not very convenient either.

Maybe I didn’t smoke them right as my throat felt a bit bad after a while!

Oh no. They make my nose run, but never had the throat thing because of them. At least not yet anyhow.

Yeah I didn’t inhale into my lungs (unless passively) but the throat I guess.
