Women and Sinus

[martha1014]

Men have an advantage over women in the use of sinus. I can't imagine a woman using this. Don't you place it under you upper or lower lip. Isn't it a bag of snuff. My grandmother and grandfather used regular snuff. They were born around 1898 and there were a lot of people that used snuff. I remembered it took my breath everytime they used it. They both would have it dripping from their mouth. If one of us got wasp stung or any other bug bite they immediately put wet snuff on it. Back in their day this seemed to be a remedy for a lot of things.

I have heard snuff and tobacco used in the mouth causes oral cancer but my grandparents lived to be in their 90's.

Hi Martha
I s'pose you meant snus?

The snus we're speaking of here for the most part is Swedish snus. It can be used either in a loose form or in pouches. The pouches are called a portion.

As for women using snus, more than a few lady snusers have no fear! Snus portions come in a variety of sizes and flavoring. The smallest size, called a mini, is about the size of a dime in length, very flat.

Swedish snus produces little to no "drip", the extra saliva that users of chew and dip experience and subsequently spit.

FWIW:
Difference between dip, chew, snuff and snus

chewing tobacco, tobacco furnished as long strands which is placed between the cheek and gum or teeth.

snuff, a dry form of snuff which is inhaled or "snuffed" through the nose.

snus, a moist and Swedish form of snuff which is placed under the lip (usually the upper) and typically does not result in the need for spitting.

dipping tobacco (also known as dip, spit tobacco or confusingly even moist snuff), a moist and American form of Swedish snuff which is placed between the lower lip and the gums and often causes excess saliva while dipping.

My daughter in law chews lol. And now most of the males have a picture of some large mannish women in their heads.
My DIL is small and very very pretty. She turns heads everywhere we go.
We are going to order us a tin of snus and try it as she thinks that will work for her much better than chewing.

This is not your grandmothers snuff. About the only thing in common is that snus is an oral tobacco. After that they part ways, with all the advantages going to snus.

There is no spitting with Swedish snus, and the pouches, especially the minis, are very discreet. There is no connection with any oral cancer with snus, and this after over 200 years of use and extensive studies. Snus is the poster boy (or girl) for tobacco reduced harm.

Women do very well with snus, and in fact there are a number of snuses designed specifically for women. This is an old thread I'll bring up you'll want to read about female snus users

It's a bit old and there are some new products out there since this thread but it will give you a good idea of whats going on with women and snus.

Shoot, I hadn't even seen that thread Stubby. And I thought I had done my share of looking around!

So funny how we continue to re-invent the wheel around here

im a female and i tried that mess. it gets the big nasty award from me. i couldnt stand it. just imagine yourself chewing on cigarette tobacco. the only difference is the pices dont wander around your mouth but the taste is the same.....gross!

Well, at least you tried it! Good show!

Such an incredible array of flavors available, perhaps you had the misfortune of not getting around to a snus that was good for your individual preferences?

Example, there is one particular snus, Roda Lackett Claq Qui, that has a huge endorsement amongst snus users. Huge! I tried it and it was as you say, NASTY in capitol letters no doubt

Then again my favorite, General Wintergreen and then there's the General Mini Mints as well as Thunder Frosted Mini's, those are almost like candy!

 

[burney]

well thats possible. i tried it once and steared clear of that stuff afterwards. i dunno though.....i dont care if they stick a couple cherries or oranges in that mess...i think its still going to get the mcnasty award..lol.

I am also female and the only snus I have tried is the Camel one, I did not like it. The menthol minty one doesnt taste too bad but the bag is too big, the regular was awful, I did not like the tobacco taste at all.

But I do like the snuff!

Men have an advantage? Well, that would depend, you see. I happen to be pretty short for a guy and with that I guess comes a smaller mouth, so regular portions DO show on me, but minis I can have in all day and nobody notices. Actually, I have a feeling most people wouldn't notice a regular either, but the fact that I know it shows makes it uncomfortable for me to use at work.

As for the taste, there are so many different variants with such diverse tastes that you're bound to fine one you like. That said, it's also an acquired taste, just like cigarettes and coffee. Remember when you were a kid and you thought that cigarettes stink and coffee is nasty, bitter stuff? Then you tried it and got used to it.

But hey, if the e-cig, or snuff or whatnot works better for you than snus, good for you. To each his own.

Men have an advantage in that it's been historically acceptable for them to have "filthy" habits with tobacco, but that's about it. Cigarettes stopped being the sign of a harlot after about the 1920s, so I say the whole field is fair game.

I'm a smaller woman, and the General Mini Mints are tiny little packets - maybe 2cm by 1cm (I'm bad at eyeballing size) and a few mm thick. There's obviously something in my mouth, but it looks more like a little swelling than a bulge. No, not "sexy", but not utterly ridiculous. And the taste...well, the mint does cover some of it up, and I just focus on the relaxation rather than the flavor.

 

[dgriego]

I placed a order for some of the purified snus. I picked a tin of Citrus and Menthol and a tin of Northerner Energy Snus. I am looking forward to trying it out.
I did not like the Camel ones very much so we will see how it goes.

I received my Oomph snus a few days ago. Got the 3mg. and 6mg. The taste is good, but it does drop off at about 45 mins. compared to the General Mini mint which can last me a few hours. I also noticed getting a slight headache with the 3mg. After about 10mins. it went away. But with the 6mg. I could feel a big headache coming on so I took it out. Sort of scared me. Can any of the more experienced snus people comment on this ? I know that these were designed to give a quick nic. hit and that they do.

 

[crashtestjeep]

It goes in ur top lip, Ive tried it but I didnt enjoy that "tingle"...just not for me...I smoked for the smoke and now I vape for the vapor...

I enjoy nic but if I had to do away w it Id still vape just for the "magic" of the "smoke" I exhale...I know, strange reason to smoke/vape but thats truely why I enjjoy it

 

[notsoogood]

[crashtestjeep]

Nope, so glad I dont smoke anymore but to be honest if it werent for ecigs I prob would be ...that or VERY unhappy lol

Good Morning Kathy
I've never tried the Oomph, can't comment on that one.

Did you experience headaches from the General Mini Mints?
