RJ Reynolds you have really done it this time. . . to make a product that one can barely pronounce without basically needing to sign-up for a round of speech therapy I unveil . . . . (drum roll please)

Now you can “receive pleasure everywhere” Camel SNUS comes in an array of flavors to KILL YOU. I discovered SNUS in a local Newspaper recently when out of the corner of my eye I noticed some flashy ad hanging out of the newspaper. After my worst fears were confirmed when I spotted the Camel, I simply took all the newspapers to my room, and removed all the ads which also included coupons that were being offered for this deplorable item “SNUS.” I kept the newspapers as well because I decided that my building didn’t need a newspaper that accepted tobacco money in their lives. (I can hear the anger already of people I know ha ha ha) I have since been trying to use my coupon which is “Buy a Camel product and get 1 FREE TIN of Camel SNUS” but I have yet to find a store owner that will redeem my coupon. At first I tried CVS (many know how I feel about CVS- if not you can click here to learn more) but CVS actually does NOT sell SNUS. It is in fact the Mom and Pop stores that carry SNUS.

One mom and pop store owner when questioned about SNUS in the foggy bottom area said “they are just a pain to redeem and not worth the hassle.”
He continued to say “Most people don’t even carry that junk [the coupon] around anymore.
“YAY I thought!!!!! RJ will do anything to entice children with his flavored SNUS!!!! DEPLORABLE!!!

I also attempted to get onto their website and I guess they have to send you some kind of code to make sure you are legal. . . so that is positive. Grrrhhhhh is all I have to say as of now.

On April 28, 2006 RJ Reynolds released Camel Snus in Portland Oregon and Austin Texas; the smokeless tobacco product expanded further in eight states, and in May 2008 RJ Reynolds and Camel Snus dove into the major markets of Los Angele’s; Chicago; New York; Atlanta; Washington, D.C. Camel Snus used print media to advertise until February 2008, when they decide that print media was not a viable marketing source. Camels Snus offers the spitless pouch in four flavors: original, frost, spice and mellow (mix between frost and spice). Even though Snus is not associated with lung cancer since it is not inhaled; studies show an increase in pancreatic cancer and heart disease from non-tobacco users, although these risks are 50% less for snus users than cigarette users. In December 2008, the Spice and Original flavors were replaced with a single Mellow flavor. In 2009, Camel Snus will be launched nationally. The newest version of Camel snus contains 8mg of nicotine per pouch, according to an RJ Reynolds spokesman.- http://tobaccoproducts.org/index.php/Camel_Snus
