Literally every method of consuming tobacco is superior to smoking it

r/

Ive been smoking for several years before giving it up for my wife, before just trying the odd cigar or pipe. It all just tastes of ash and tar (the latter which lingers in my mouth for days).

Meanwhile i tried snuff tobacco and tobacco bits for chewing and am really enjoying it (only every few days and only in private). All of them offer the effects of nicotine in addition to so many awesome aromas.

PS: this is not an advocation to start consuming tobacco in any of those ways.

    I don’t own a porch or a rocking chair to be able to try chewing tobacco.

    As a nonsmoker I absolutely agree with you specifically because if you’re chewing or doing snuff, you’re not actively putting me in pain.

    I think eating it can be pretty dangerous.

    I do snus pouches. They are tiny. They’re bad, though considerably less bad than smoking or normal chewing tobacco. It’s such a small amount it doesn’t generate the need to spit. Nobody can tell if it’s in or not. Was able to quit smoking. I tried zyns to leave tobacco. I hate them but I also hate feeling reliant on something regardless of what it is.

    But I love the feeling of inhaling tar into my lungs (sadly /gen)

    Quick Mist is great, once you get used to it. You can hit it anywhere, the buzz is pretty damn fast, it’s cheaper than cigarettes where I am (Canada), and it has comparatively few health risks.

    But only one reigns as the coolest; cigarettes.

    You ever see the teeth and mouth of anyone who chewed tobacco regularly? Its absolutely disgusting and makes your teeth fall out, and then rots away your jaws… There’s the gross spitting everywhere too. I think smoking cigarettes is probably less disgusting honestly, although it certainly has lots of problems too. As far as snuff, I thought that went out of style like 100 years ago…

    Just to clarify – in the American South “snuff” typically means dipping snuff- holding tobacco powder in the lip. Similar to chewing tobacco in practice but a different preparation of the leaf. In the seventeenth and eighteenth century people snorted snuff and apparently hipsters are doing it again because every type of ass backwards bullshit is cool again. Until you have experienced both of these vile habits you can’t say smoking is worse. And there are many ways to smoke tobacco – a cigarette is not comparable to a pipe, hookah or cigar. Cigarettes are an incredibly shitty way to smoke, but the others have a certain appeal.
