    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.

          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

    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…

    Oh damn high school flashbacks. Snus was by far the best way to take a good restful half nap during a boring class.
