I tried it for the first time today earlier at work and i didnt really feel anything. I actually did it twice. I just figured it was becuase i did it outside and it was very cold (around 20 F). I am back in my dorm now trying it and im still not feeling anything. Im fairly dissapointed. I guess im just wondering i could be doing it wrong? I just have a little wad stuck between my bottom gum and lip. My friend said i was doing it right but why no "buzz" that ive heard you can get from this??

Another thing ive noticed about myself is i can only get a real buzz from cigarettes if i am standing up when i smoke it. I dont know why. Does this happen to anyone else?

you may not have enough in
[especially if you have a nicotine tolerance]

Most likely, you need some more dip in your mouth to get a better effect. It also may be the brand. Skoal is the best. If it's something cheap, it often doesn't do shit.

Its cherry skoal. Im going to try to put some more in at once i just have a hard time fitting it all. One more thing - i dont plan on making this a habit, but i just killed this tin in about 4 days. The majority of was done sitting at my computer one right after another. If this is the only time i ever do it, my gums and teeth wont be all messed up right? I remeber we had a high school assembly about this stuff and they showed pictures of some messed up mouths from this, but thats after continued use, correct?

I don't know about the snuff, but I'm wondering if the cigarette thing is because you're not inhaling deeply enough, or your lungs aren't getting enough of the smoke (nicotine & CO) into your bloodstream when you're sitting down.
