Los at work

[TWISTED VICTOR]

Generally I don't have much trouble with removal, but my gums have receded some from years of smoking. There's a space at the tops of several of my teeth where the enamel stops before the gum starts, which acts like a pocket for the "floaters" to get stuck in. That's the only down-side. Those little boogers get lodged in there and sometimes the only way to get 'em out is with a toothbrush. Still, there's occasions when I lose coordination and I might as well have dumped the can in my mouth and swished it around real good.

Well, I work in a hospital! All I do these days is loose. Nobody knows unless I tell them. I find a sink when I'm through with a prilla, and spit it out....and put another in. LOL

[Roo]

Bruscifer! Awesome name. Took you long enough to finally post something! Welcome.

[bipolarbear1968]

Today will be my first day of doing los at work.

[bruscifer]

Why THANK YOU Roo! LOL!
That's a nickname somebody gave me at work a few years ago. I liked it so.....
You guys are great! I have learned so much from reading the posts and reading everybodies experiances here. I perfer to lurk, and rarely have anything to add that someone else hasn't already said. I lurk on a lot of forums BTW.
I've converted at least one, and possibly up to three dippers to Snus. It's just that it's so much harder to get Snus around here they usually will default back to dip. No smokers yet, but I haven't given up. One of the dippers here told me a while back that he didn't "...like that stuff because it gave him a headache!" This guy will pinch huge dips in his lower lip too. Think he was trying to "dip" Snus, and was using too much.

On the OP.....I think it's funny because the dippers here will put a big ol' pinch in their mouth and dip all day at work and nobody says a thing. That's one reason why I don't worry about using Loose at work.
Of course this IS TEXAS...lots of dippers here ya know...LOL!

[deebocools]

yeah, dippers are usually pretty willing to try snus. It's bizarre how the "hit" is different(or percieved differently), hence the existence of dual-users. Oh well, their loss.

I am using Los at work right now in the upper deck. I manage a branch of a large national retail bank so I interact with customers and employees all day. I have never had anyone comment on my Los-bulge...

[wadetheblade]

I rarely do it at work, when last years Kardus came out, I found my self doing it everyday until I started noticing pieces stuck in my teeth after spitting it out.

[asidrave]

i do los at work and home at least 75% of the time. only time i really do portions is when im out and about or when los would be inconvenient

[APX]

My job has me traveling all over the place, in and out of airports, visiting people, etc...I find portions are easier during the day while I'm out and about, but I've been usuing los at night and on the days that I get to stay home.

[NJdrew]

I'm one of the lucky few... I work from home, so not only can I use los, I keep it in my fridge right in the kitchen and have no possibility of ever forgetting to bring it with me. If I run out, I just go into the basement and get some new snus from the freezer

[rickcharles606]

When I first began using los, it would have been nearly impossible for me to use it while working. That was over a year ago, and now...I can put a prilla in and keep it for hours without mudmouth being a problem. That being said, I NEVER have a prilla smaller than 2.5 clicks on my Icetool, and it is far more noticeable in my mouth than a portion. It even changes the way I speak a little...adds a little "ssssss" to most everything I say, lol.

I never want to explain to a client what's in my mouth because THEY noticed it. However, I have struck up a convo with aclient about snus and then said, "I've had a portion in my mouth the entire time, did you notice it?" Proves the level of discretion that snus affords me and others that are looking to make the switch.

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

I use loose at work all the time. Even with a big fat prilla, nobody can tell I have snus in because of my mustache. I put it up top just off center and switch sides.

Even if they could tell and said something, I'd be like hey I quit smoking isn't that great!

[shikitohno]

It depends on where I'm working whether I do it or not, as well as what the boss is like. Right now I don't use lös at work because I'm face to face with customers all day, so I can't really have it start to run down my teeth without getting in trouble.

[SnusGuy]

I work in sales, so using Los isn't an option for me unfortunately. The good thing though, is I constantly Snus at work with portions, and no one has ever seemed to notice if I have something in my mouth! My fear of using Los is that in my limited experience in using it, it tends to run down all over my teeth (like a mudslide) and I really can't have that while I'm working.
