There and Back again. A tale of snus discovery

So where are all the lady snus users at?! Feels like I'm swimming alone out here. I think it's time to get my voice out in the snus world since I've been wanting to be more involved in the community since i began using snus back in 2010. So let's begin shall we. I first discovered what "snus" was like most Americans did when Marlboro and Camel introduced their so called "snus". I thought it was a neat idea and a great way to get a nicotine fix without letting my parents know. I was smoking and living at home in 2010 and knew my parents weren't so keen of the idea of me smoking. so i picked up some American snus and wasn't too impressed but it got me curious and wanting more. So after hours of google-ing. I learned all about real Swedish snus. The only problem was I couldn't get it in Minnesota! Hope was not yet gone, I would find away, and some how, some way i would get my hands on real snus!

Fast forward a couple months, I had moved down to Tulsa, Oklahoma. still smoking, i renewed my search for snus. I drove all over town asking for any snus that wasn't Camel. Nothing! Real snus was still only available online and issues with the PACT act made things difficult and expensive for me to order any. So I wrote to my congressman back in the summer of 2011....well that did nothing, no surprise there. But hey at least I tried. Right? So back to the drawing board. I then decided to enter the snus social media scene. from the dip videos to snubie.com, that's how i got in contact with Chad (aka snubie). He was kind enough to ship me some snus to try. It was wonderful. Christmas in July! By that time i had saved up some cash and ordered a small order online. A couple of weeks later i had a small stock of some real Swedish snus. I was finally able to quit smoking all together, which was a major goal of mine. But since I couldn't easily get my hands on more snus, i soon ran out. I picked smoking back up for a while until i bought an e-cig. I vaped for over a year, happy to finally feel free from cigarettes for good. Seldom do I ever crave one besides I've come to find smoking pretty nasty! But over time i got tired of the e-cig and found out that all the Kum and Go gas stations were now selling General snus, and for pretty cheap!! Finally we are getting one small step forward to getting some real quality Swedish snus in the States. Since then I keep going back for more General, and yet again I'm still wanting more..... So there, that's is my little story. With this blog I hope to help get the word out to more people about Swedish snus, and not that imitation camel poop. I hope to write snus reviews, connect with other snus users, educate others, and offer my point of view as being one of very few female snus users. Cheers!
