(Tabbaco) Snuff in Dublin

the_syco

Yo,
Anyone here know where I could get snuff in Dublin? Its the tabbaco stuff that you put between your gum and your cheek (and spit it out after a bit). You get a nicotine high from it, but you don't have to smoke it. You mainly get it in a small box.

Also, as cigerattes give you cancer, does anyone know can you get any cancer or diseases off snuff? Thinking of switching, as I like my nicotine high, but I'd prefer it without the shortness of breath that you get if you smoke, and then try cycling, etc.

Don't know weather or not you can get it over here but afaik snuff and chewing tabacco are just as likely to cause cancer as cigarettes, just more likely to be around the mouth/throat as opposed to lung cancer

Its actually Illegal to sell in ireland. Most of friends did snuff in the states. Not a good idea. Can cause mouth cancer and is really really bad for your teeth and breath. First signs are little white marks on the gums, then can devlop into whats known as Cauliflower tongue (Mouth Cancer) not a pretty site I assure you. Stay away!!!

It's a huge business in Sweden... (Snus), comes in different flavours and varieties. But it is illegal in most countries. Can't see any one making much fuss if you had some though, it's no worse than cigarettes (which means it's pretty bad, of course)

Man Snus is so bad on peoples breath, a bit like a cat took a shit in their mouths, truly vile stuff.

Snuff, as I understand it, is finely powered tobacco that is taken by taking a small pinch of it, putting it on the back of your hand and snorting nasally.

Are you sure you don't mean 'chewing tobacco'? I've never heard of snuff being taken orally.

There's a small company in the UK who specialise in making snuff. I heard an interview with one of their MD's on RTE Radio around the time of the smoking ban.

If you like nicotine so much, why not just wear a patch? When I was off the cigs, I found Nicoteenelle to be the best, the other make I found useless.

McCrystals is the name to look for in snuff.
If it's brown snots your'e after it's your only man.

Aye, its most likely "chwing tabacco". Its the stuff you'd se rednecks spitting into a bucket.

If however, it gives you mouth diseases, f3ck it.

Dam nicotene subs..fook them all, just keep the cravings going.
Good on you for intending to quit, imho..eat..more (unless your a fat cúnt already) ..its a nice reward, you might put a little on but as the physical cravings go, so will your dietry cravings and any extra weight put on will fade away back to your "when smoking" weight.

A few pounds extra on the scales for a short period of time isnt as bad as a few xrtra months of massively increased cancer risk from continued smoking/nicotene substitutes (which are an abomination..anyone that has actually quit, like me, will tell you that the ads for these bloody things are a terrible reminder of yer craving..having the packet of them to hand must be a 1000000 times worse)...ppl that recommend gums etc..are either non smokers or misguided health "professionals" .. feck gums etc..

McDonalds/beer/sex with a minger etc is as good as any way to give up the fags..treat yerself maybe once a week.or get pissed on that extra day..whatever rocks your boat..

These treats are nowhere near addictive as the damn cigs and will help you quit from your addiction.

It's not chewing tobacco, snuff either gets snorted or made into a little ball and put down by the gum, you even get it in little pillow like bags in sweden and it is called snus.
Mingin stuff really.
