Hello All! @ndnjon

[ndnjon]

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am ndnjon and have used cigarettes and chewing tobacco in the past. For health reasons I have been a snus user for the last decade or so. My main interest is in learning how to make my own snus. Thanks for having me!

Snuff, Snus and Chew: a recipe book

Snuff, Snus and Chew: a recipe book edited by Robert C.A. Goff Front cover The FTT "Smokeless" forum is challenging to navigate. In August of 2022, I took on the task of collecting its Smokeless recipes for a dedicated book, not expecting the project to require more than a couple of months...

Much more economical and easier on the mouth to make your own. The store bought stuff often tastes of chemicals that smells like toilet bowl cleaner and has you rushing back for another chew every three hours or less. if you watch some you tube videos of how tobacco is grown and processed you'll question why you put it your mouth. Learn to grow your own and experiment with a few receipes and you'll save a lot of money, reduce a lot of the unneeded pesticides and avoid the unhygienic processing/growing methods.
My math puts a home made can of chewing tobacco at about 25 cents or less a can versus about 4 dollars for a cheap can of store bought stuff. Knowing how the tobacco is grown and what is used in every step of the process is an added bonus. The down side is it takes a little effort on your part to make, but the experience of growing your own tobacco more than makes up for it. Watching something grow from a tiny seed less than the size of a pin head to a five to ten foot tall plant in half a year is fascinating. Saving yourself hundreds of dollars a year is pretty nice as well

Welcome. I have been using snus for about 55 years, started when I was 7 years old
Have been making my own snus for 14-15 years, and now in my fifth year of growing my own tobacco.
Live in Sweden. Good luck with your cultivation.

7 years old!
I was four the first time I grabed my dads coke can and took a big swig. Turns out it was his spit can. I'm still grossed out to this day but apparently I passed the tradition on. My kids all learned never to steal a drink from any of my cans
