Tobacco in skiing

ya but i can guarantee the stuff your grandad was rolling himself are way better for you then the stuff they sell in stores now.
now this might prove some peoples points here but yea. i have never smoked a cig in my life, but i have done a few dips, done bandits a few times. live on a farm big here with farm boys, hockey players etc. i will admit, it is really dumb and i have only done it a handful of times because i agree that tobacco is stupid as hell. i don't really care for pete-o, but i am a fan of josh bibby. when i saw josh's profile a few weeks ago and the first sponsor was general snus, the first thing i did was message my friend who was in sweden and told him to pick me up a tin. the only reason i even thought of getting a tin was because i saw josh bibby's profile. i realize most people arent like me but when i saw the general advertisment i burst out laughing and thought hey, i kinda want some snus now.
 
Right well people need to stop thinking snus is anywhere near as bad as smoking or drinking as a matter of fact ... i realy dnt like smoking but it the peoples choice to do it and yea if u are relativley well educated about the matter u could makeyour own decision... taking a drink of alcohol is worse then taking a snus ... snus isnt that bad for u its literaly 1000 times better then smokeing and sure its not good for u eighter but neighter is a beer of a coke....all snus is is water tobaco nicotine tar and flavoring depending on the snus and a cigarett has a ton of more retarded stuff in it ...

an another thing is that snus and a "chew" or what most people associate with chewing tobacco is no where near the same... snus is not as bad and its not as addictive. its a completely different product. Fine if tobacco should be left out of sport but look at hockey a tonage of hockey players do snus. But point is chew is not at all the same as snus so stop thinking it is!

well i say this with knowledge because i snus my brother snuses and a ton of my friends also snus but i know people who have done snus for over 50 years and thats not occacionaly but daily and they have never gone through any serious health issues because of it , but on the other side of things i have had family and friends die of smoking related deseases which mega sucks big time but whatever their choice to make..

but what i hate is that people are ignorant enought to associate un related things in these forums, just look out side the box and stop all this bitching...

for me snus is great when im skiing and in general for me because it calms me down and helps me relax as such but its all up to making your own choices like most things in life.. agreed things can help your opinions develope but if ur smart enough to look at the bigger picture and larger aspects of things decisions become easier.

so stop this hate on snus, but better might be stop drinking with skiing stop smoking with skiing but it not realy gona happen is it

now generaly weed is better then snus smoking drinking and chewing ...and i might as y it is illegal? marijuanna is one of the most useful plants that we know of and most benefitial but its not legal so too bad for us... i dnt support marijuanna smokeing or smoking in any form but i just dnt get why it is illegal with all the benefits it can provide...

for more info and for the people who want to educate themselves on subjects like these should watch the movie "The Union" which is realy educational to say the least.

Has anyone considered the fact that no matter how much we complain or no matter how many petitions we create nothing is going to change? Skiing is a business, and as much as all of us consider it a sweet hobby, lifestyle, sport, etc. It is a business. The pros ski because they love it, but they need sponsors to live their lives comfortably. Let's think about most (not all) pro skiers, not many of them have a college education... what are they gonna do when they are 35 and have their ACL's replaced 7 times? They're gonna need money to live off of and support themselves. So If they are offered a big check to put the word SNUS on their left heel binding, they're gonna do it. It's up to parents to teach their children that tobacco is bad. enough said.

I would also like to point out that Major League Baseball players have been dipping on NATIONAL TELEVISION for over 50 years. MLB players have a lot more little kids idolizing them than peter olenick. They also make a lot more money. And guess what, mom and dad don't like seeing Miguel cabrera or David ortiz with huge lippers in but its not gonna change anything. I mean did anyone even watch the homerun derby last night? David ORtiz had a huge chaw in while he was holding his own son in his lap! No one shit a brick about it.

If you are a young person and you have a problem with tobacco call your government. If you are a parent and you have a problem with your kids doing it, discipline them.

I know I'm gonna get hated on ahrd for this post but i guess that's why I only post once a year now.

peace NS
 
Dipping is so rowdy. My friend dips so much that he had to get a skin(gum) graph or something of that sort. It's funny though each time were at parties we always tell people to try our "new alcohol" which is actually dip spit and people always drink it up with no hesitation and they say it actually tastes good hahaha.
