12% of Norwegians use ‘snus’, a form of snuff particular to Nordic countries
In Norway they’ve brought in some tough
Rules on smoking, and so sure enough
It’s farewell cancer sticks
They’re now getting their fix
By filling their nostrils with snuff.

What’s that other stuff they have up those parts [a Swedish friend gave me some, this one time :) ]…
Comes in a tin, with these little square tea bag like pods, you put it between your lip and gums, and the nicotine absorbs through the gums… if memory serves correctly?
’twas muck IMO by the way :)
ah yeah burns a hole in your gum
good satisfying Brown spit tho

Forgive me but, snuff goes up the nose, no? You seem to be more clued in than I, could you elaborate, thanks.
No idea. But wiki says
SNUFF: “Snuff is a smokeless tobacco made from ground or pulverised tobacco leaves.[1] It is inhaled or “snuffed” into the nasal cavity”
SNUS: “Snus is a moist powder tobacco product originating from a variant of dry snuff in early 18th-century Sweden. It is placed under the upper lip for extended periods”
(my emphasis)
sure it’s not hanging from your lower lip or you’d feel the weight of it
standard response in this house to ” where’s my ?…
Cheers :)

Tried some before also, and can confirm it’s muck-ness!
Snus isn’t snuff
Snus is different thing to snuff is what I thought… I am confused… :)
