I find it bizarre that snus is advertised. It's a fucking tobacco product!

You can't buy menthol over there but snus is "almost completely unregulated"?..
E: wow y'all have some crazy ass nic levels if 10-20mg pouches are in stores. 3-6 should be enough to convert a pack/day smoker ffs.
You'd think the spins would deter people...
I was on 8 and just dropped to 4 yesterday.
Awesome.. keep going down. The subscription isn't worth it.
the spins
?
From too much nicotine. Feels not to dissimilar from too much alcohol. Spinny sickness like being dizzy and needing to puke. Stopped me from ever using dip a second time.
ah. TIL
I'll take people doing snus over smoking cigarettes any day of the week. Both harm you, but snus at least only harms you, not everyone around you.
They harm animals though, people spit them out everywhere and animals ingest them.
People throw cigarettes as well. Can't imagine that's any better.
Cigarette buds are toxic too, but if ingested they’re far less harmful than Snus - which are literally pouches of nicotine, while cigarette buds are filters laced with nicotine and tar residue.
FYI it's "cigarette butts", cigarette buds are the pals who join you on your smoke break
Yeah, I think an animal is more inclined to eat a pouch that tastes sweet and fruit flavour over a butt that tastes smoke and tar
Oh damn high school flashbacks. Snus was by far the best way to take a good restful half nap during a boring class.
Just join the USA already. Got rid of free tuition, defund NHS, have NFL games in your own stadiums, love the snus snus.
