Dip?
Submitted by cannafield on Fri, 06/20/2008 - 02:00.
Hey ya'll. I figure I should introduce myself a bit. Names aren't important, so forget that part. But I am an American and I was just curious as to if any of you Englanders dip and what kinds of dip you all have? I can't really seem to find anything on the net about it. But, I personally enjoy a nice can of Copenhagen or Skoal Apple or Citrus. Or Grizzly Mint. Yummy!
Anyways, take it easy.

Dipping tobacco is really not common in England at all, in fact it has been banned in many European countries (not sure if England is one of them but I've never come across anyone who uses it)
Here is what Wikipedia says about it:
"Given the risk of mouth cancer and a fairly low usage outside of North America and the Nordic countries, several countries have banned the sale (and in some cases the import) of dipping tobacco. Sale of dipping tobacco was banned in Australia and New Zealand in 1986 [26] and in most of the EU nations in 1992 [27]. Sweden was exempted from this ban because of the traditionally high usage of snus in that country"
As it says above its not really widely used anywhere except the states and countries like Sweden, Norway etc
Most tobacco users in the UK smoke cigarettes & cigars. Some smoke pipes too but very few use nasal snuff and I have no idea if any use dipping tobacco or if its even legal...sorry!
