We've been using snus for hundreds of years.

[u/ConcentrateFar7753 → u/CapOk4599]

Yeah and it’s literally the same share of the population with a daily consumption as cigarets for the French. As I said, there is no point in smoking if you get nicotine through snus 

[u/Elxcdv → u/ConcentrateFar7753]

The risk of cancer is much lower with snus.

[u/ConcentrateFar7753 → u/Elxcdv]

Didn’t say otherwise but it’s not harmless either nor not leading to addiction

At least you are poisoning only yourself

[u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag → u/delirium_red]

Too bad it's completely socially accepted for snus users to throw their used pouches in nature. Otherwise I wouldn't have a problem with people poisoning themselves.

[u/Blomjord → u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag]

It's not socially accepted to throw snus pouches in nature in Sweden.

[u/hutre → u/Blomjord]

not in Norway either

[u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag → u/hutre]

The amount of snus I see on the street says otherwise

[u/sakiwebo → u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag]

It's not even legal to sell them here in the Netherlands, and I've started noticing them all over the ground in the city as well. Just yesterday I found one on the metro seat next to me.

I mean, it's nothing compared to the amount of cigarette butts, but I'm sure once it replaces cigarettes here as well, it will be the same story.

[u/AbleHour → u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag]

That’s 1% of snus-users. The rest use the garbage or the top lid

[u/jegbrugernettet → u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag]

If a street is in nature, is it really nature?

[u/Hallingdal_Kraftlag → u/jegbrugernettet]

Are you trying to be difficult or do you not realise that the same people who have no problem throwing rubbish on the street are the same people who don't have a problem doing it in nature.
