Snus-BLOCKED on Delta flight

[snupy]

This has got to be the most asinine policy I have ever heard of. It makes about as much sense as banning lifesavers or breath mints while on a plane.

When anti-smoking becomes anti-tobacco,
That's getting into ACLU territory.
Lawsuit time.

Re: Snus-BLOCKED on Delta flight

So I was on a Delta flight this morning from ORD to JFK, and one of the flight attendants was sitting behind me. I went to grab a Gborgs No. 2, and she tapped me on the shoulder and told me I couldn't do it.

What a stupid policy! How can snusing harm/annoy anyone else? I would have thought if anything it showed you had respect for the people around you by not smoking and is not far from chewing nicotine gum? I bet the pilots had a nice fat pris of Skruf Stark on the go in the privacy of the cockpit!

Here's your solution:

1. Get a can of Tobacco free snus
2. Empty the can
3. Insert your favorite snus in "tobacco free snus" can

They can bitch all they want, it says right on the can "tobacco free"



P.S. If you really want to piss them off, get the Los version. :twisted:

Excellent idea

Hahahaha. For some reason I found that really funny.

[sgreger1]

Yah its because of all those terrible second-hand snus effects duh.

This is wierd thought because when I was real into american dip I always had a fatty ass chaw of copenhagen in my lip throughout most of the flight, odd. Perhaps the force is just with me.

It is probably just certain employe's that just like to enforce certain rules as it applies to their own morals.

[deebocools]

there are signs at the hospitals here in winston-salem NC that say "tobacco free campus" and have a cross out of both a cigarette and a dip can. I really can't imagine the scenario where dip or snus would endanger a person who's not using it

[Xobeloot]

Last time I flew I was on delta and I was packin loads in my icetool on my tray table. This must be a new rule.

[Sacrilicious]

I've snussed on plenty of planes and never had a problem. I usually put a portion in before I board and bring 4 or 5 cans in my carry-on. To me it's about as innocous as a tic-tac. Just don't throw your spent portions in the aisle! (It's about the only time I use the container lids)..

[Eidekker]

I flew with local Finnair airline a few times recently, on the other time the FA offered me her own portions when I asked if they happened to have any nic gum on plane, other time I got nic gums.

:lol:

Haha what was she snusin?

LMAO, great idea. Then you can flaunt it just to piss them off. Set the tray down and put it on the tray for the whole flight. Everytime they walk by they will have to look at it and get pissed. And you can offer them some too!!

Well US Air sure isn't Delta. Just got off a 2.5 hr flight sitting in the row with 2 other guys (smokers). One whipped out the Skoal Wintergreen right away and his buddy joined him later on. The light attendant even gave #2 a styro cup. (That Skoal WIntergreen smell still is mouthwatering -- my former brand). I popped in a Thunder Frosted and told them about snus. Intrigued but no takers. I got cred points for no spitting, though. And it sure was nice to just easily stroll to my connecting flight instead of running for a smoke outside security with a sloshing "not so empty" soda bottle in my gear... :lol:
