Snus Rhymes with Goose or maybe Make It a Noose

With cigarette sales on the decline, tobacco companies are trying new products. The latest is snus. Snus comes in tea bag like pouches that a user sticks between the upper lip and gum. You can leave it in your mouth for 30 minutes and discards without spitting. R.J. Reynolds will expand testing the product from two cities to eight. Snus is packaged in containers that look like cellphones. Camel uses packaging that says "Camel Snus Original," while Marlboro uses "tabaka." So far it's been a hard sale. Some tobacco stores can't give it away. Some who have tried it end up spitting, which they find disgusting. For those who dislike tobacco, let's hope this somehow doesn't end up a fad for young people. Even smokeless tobacco comes with too many health risks. These are the days my friend,
