What the hell is this Camel SNUS supposed to do?

[Death Metal Moe]

I don't actually smoke, I enjoy cigarettes like cigars and will smoke one once or twice a month when I can't smoke a cigar. The rest of the time I'll smoke a cigar, a small cigar or a clove cigarette. I don't inhale smoke in my lungs. Just some background of how I enjoy tobacco products.

I made another stupid mistake at Quick Check. I saw an add for a "$1.99 trial size" of this SNUS Frost stuff. I thought it was another flavored cigarette Camel was putting out. I used to buy these $10 tins of specialty cigs they put out awhile ago and they were very good. I get the little tin which in my defense is big enough to hold cigarettes. I open it and shit, there's these little things inside:

So now I'm suck with this little packet I'm supposed to put under my upper lip and absorb, no spitting required.

I finally broke down and used one, and I felt nothing. No more hyper, no calmer, not buzzed, not relaxed. I felt exactly the same.

What is this stuff supposed to make you feel like? I've never chewed, dipped or smoked a cig down into my lungs. What effect was I waiting for?

Ive never had it but im guessing its just supposed to help you're cravings. I don't know but they look sick.

Cravings for what?

[TheGameHHH]

Snus blows. When I was on vacation a few weeks ago one of my buddies got the Camel Snus (the dude behind the register actually refused payment and made him take it for free) and we all tried it. Most of us are dippers/have dipped in the past and it literally does nothing. I'm not sure why its even manufactured.

NICOTINE

Because it is packaged in such a bright and flashy way dumb kids and teenagers will be buying this shit up like tic-tacs.

ie: Hipsters will be all over this shit

NICOTINE

OH, yea. Well that makes sense but you don't have to yell.

OK, another related question. What does dip do? Sorry if that's a very dumb question but what is the effect?

I know when I smoke a whole cigar I get a little high by the end that lasts about 30 minutes and sometimes gives me a headache. Is the feeling similar with dip?

Ech. Very glad I'm throwing away something hipsters might like.

I thought it was tobacco candy, but I guess it's like skoal bandits?
I saw them in the fridgy-drink-area of the store near me. Do they need to be cold, or was that just a gimmick?

"Dip" like Skoal and the counterparts deliver up to 10 times the amount of nicotine per use over a cigarette.

yea, you get a buzz and thats about it. the best is watching people dip for the first time, 7 out of 10 puke and its hilarious to watch. i have a dip a night from April to October, something about baseball that makes me crave it. After the Yankees are finished playing I throw out my tin and dont have another dip till Opening Day.

[SatCam]

To be compelled to make a thread about the stuff

Lol, that's all they got out of me. I'm throwing this shit away. If I want to I'll buy real dip in the future, but I don't think I'll even bother.

[KatPw]

It's the training wheel version of chewing tobacco.

[Ritalin]

I think you're supposed to shove it up your ass.

Deep.

Will that stop the cravings? And will it make my prostate cold?

Thanks to my years (near 20) of dipping I am inevitably going to loose (thank goodness for implants) the bottom front four teeth. I had quit that to smoke, then quit smoking for 6 years, now I smoke when stressed.

that was me.

My first ingestion of tobacco was in the form of dip, and of course, not knowing any better, i swallowed. Within minutes i was on my back in the park, with an enormous dizzy high.....which led to a nice bout of vomitting coupled with the sounds of my friends laughter.

I've been told they put fiberglass in dip to scratch the gum so newbies will get hooked faster. I'm glad I quit cigarettes 40 years ago I tried dip but didn't like it at all I enjoy a cigar if I'm sitting around but smoke a pipe while driving. Seems like there could be a whole discussion on our smoking habits. Then there may have before my time.

It's also well-documented that they put heroin, cocaine, and meth in there, too.

I wonder if Camel even did market research for this product because it seems everywhere I turn it's on sale or I even find coupons in cigarettes that aren't camels and in magazines for a free pack. They can't even give them away.

I figured it was dip but I didn't know they have little packet things. Gay.
