Camel SNUS love it! But does it contain sugar?

The heart is a muscle, so your heart will weaken in the absence of carbohydrates. Just some info I picked up last night.

Not to veer too terribly off topic, but a modified version of the Atkins diet is what keeps this diabetic's blood sugar level, weight, cholesterol and blood pressure down. My doc asked me on my visit a month ago what I had been doing over the past 4 months because he was "astounded" at how my numbers had dropped. He was surprised to hear about the diet but approved as long as it's doing what it's doing. Cholesterol and triglycerides plummeted, blood pressure down to normal, 50 pounds lighter. Just because some people use the excuse of the Atkins diet to continue their bad eating habits (eating nothing but fried, fatty animal foods and such) is not an indictment of the principles behind it.

Man, trying to get info on the Camel snus is a challenge. I even called what passes for product support. Asked what the intended nic per portion was and after the guy put me on hold for awhile he finally replied "I don't know.". Asked if there was any place I could purchase larger cans then the 12 portion, and his reply was "I don't know"...

Well folks, I e-mailed them and they gave me this site. It lists ingredients by brand and style. If you want to get really upset, check out the analog additives.

R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company | Brand Compounds

Hope this helps.

Now really, why would anyone get upset over that list? Most every thing in it is found in other food products...

That's more info than I got firechick. still didn't see anything relating to the snus products though. I did check into the company that manf the snus for RJR, British American Tobacco. They had even less info than RJR regarding ingredients and additives.

It's there. Choose Camel for "brand family" drop down menu and Camel Signature Mellow, Camel Signature Frost, Camel Signature Infused, or Camel Signature Robust for the brand style drop down menu.

Yeah, I looked at 'em again. The wording makes it seem as though these are cigarette compounds rather than snus. But given that this is RJR, who can tell.

I do like the flavor of the Camel snus, but it just doesn't deliver the nic.
