What’s the deal with people who say they can’t quit smoking or dipping because tobacco is so addictive? When I smoked a cigarette I coughed a lot and felt really light-headed. I kinda liked the buzz it gave me but that’s about it. When I stopped getting a buzz from smoking, I simply stopped. No patch or any of that nicotine gum shit, I just stopped because of a thing called “willpower.” Same with snuff and chew. So why are Marines so hopelessly addicted to this shit?
I’ve never really known anyone (outside professional baseball) chewing tobacco but it’s like every other Marine has a big wad in his mouth. I guess it’s a pretty disgusting habit that a hipster might pick up out of “irony” or whatever the fuck that means. Dipping and chewing is a lot stronger than smoking though. First time I put snuff in my mouth, I put it directly on my tongue and had to spit it out immediately. Same with Skoal. I threw up and passed the fuck out after barely touching that shit. A bunch of guys laughed their asses off with dip bulging out of their lips.
Anyways, the dip they use have all been shipped out here by mail they ordered. The snuff they sell out at the post exchanges (PX) throughout Iraq have formaldahyde and cut glass in them because they get thirld world hand me down bullshit called Copenhagen.
If you find yourself stuck in Iraq try to avoid the exchange in Ramadi. They only have one store to buy goods and it’s the most minimal shit you can buy. You can’t even buy a soap dish there and the magazine racks have 2 month old Newsweeks. Whenever my platoon had a mission to go out to Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) we always made sure to have money on us so we could stop by and shop at the Wal-Mart they got in Camp Stryker. They actually sell headphones and external hard drives and all the electronics crap I needed to replace because sand got in it. I’ve already busted a laptop and digital camera on this deployment thanks to fucking sand. My hoochmate busted his Xbox 360 because the dust completely smothered the fanning. Sometimes I think I have sand in my asshole. Sometimes I think I’m turning into sand like that dude in Spiderman 3. That would be cool actually.
Passed out from snuff? Really? Geez.
this guy sucks so, so much. literally.
wow. you really don’t know shit about chew. just understand that it ALL has glass in it (to cut open the gums and get the nicotine in), and thank fucking god you weren’t born in the midwest (or played hockey).
Everyone in Canada plays hockey and packs lips but they’re cool people. I like this guys posts.
“It is widely claimed that glass or fiberglass is mixed into each tin to cause abrasion to the lip, resulting in higher and faster nicotine absorption. However, at least in the case of snus, the appearance of glass-like particles may be due to the formation of salt crystals.
The addition of glass to dipping tobacco would not be beneficial for increasing nicotine delivery, as bleeding and inflammation would be likely to reduce the uptake of nicotine. The amount of nicotine absorbed can be controlled by different cutting of the tobacco, increasing the nicotine concentration and raising the pH of the tobacco by adding various salts. An alkaline pH causes more nicotine to be absorbed, especially the free, unprotonated form, but is irritating to the mucosa.”
Tarpade – You are a fucking idiot man. Just understand that NO chew has glass in it. You’ve just proved that everyone in the midwest is a dumb shit. Like Taeil Kim here, I only had to do 3 minutes of browsing to find out that chew (usually) does not contain glass. Upon that simple discovery one could conclude that youre a piece of smelly dog shit.
TELL FUCKEN BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY UP HERE TO CHILLTHE FUCK OUT….I’M READING THE GOD DAMN STREET BONERS, NOT FUCKEN WIKIPEDIA,TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO LOOK UP ASSHOLE, AND YOUR FIND YOUSELF.
Taeil Kim writing is great! kind of like Tm O’Brien’s, but not as shitty. You NYC fuckers might not realize it but war it really boring and shitty and not some Hemingway dash. Keep up the good work Taeil! USA!
WTF TAIEL YOUR WRITING SUCKS MAN
IT INTERUPTS ME FROM SUCKING DICK AND DOING BLOW AND SHARING NEEDLES.
WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING COOOL LIKE NYC AND FASHION
SOMETHING FIERCE!
ONLY NIGGERS WHITE TRASH AND FUCKING GOOKS FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY.
THANK GOD IM PRIVLIDGED AND GO TO ART SCHOOL. GHO DIE FOR ZION.
Art school huh…what a bitch…i hope your art school burns down…i just wanted to say that i was one of those “nigger whitetrash gooks” laughing my ass off when Taiel put a pinch on his tounge…and thank god for people like toad who can go to art school so people like me don’t have to
You all sound like a bunch of cocksuckers
what how did you get sand all over the place. do they have sand in iraq? and damn a wal mart in fuckin iraq WTF, do they hire trailer trash people to work their also
Who the fuck ever said war was exciting? Oliver Stone(d)? War movies are just porno for dicks awaiting the next Spiderman movie. CNN and FOX cover the “war” all the time but all you see are a bunch of gaylords “patrolling” a fucking rubble hut with the occasional sand niglet running around asking for candy. If war was the least bit exciting, CNN would look like America’s Funniest Home Videos.
Gookie Crisp sums it all up perfectly. War is a giant dorm room but with more sand and no sex. No wonder the urge to rape is so high among Marines (not just the nigger ones).
Oh and chinks can’t chew tobacco. Its genetical.
man this blog sucks because im one of those guys trying to stop smoking and now i feel stupid
Why does this guy suck? I think these posts are pretty awesome, and as a bonus they always involve funny Iraq war t-shirts.
Bean I think that dude was being a little tongue in cheek.
I.E. making fun of the NYC Hipster art school coke head cock suckers.
Explained.
Idiot and Toad seem like the same person…both idiots, both using caps.
I can’t believe that Idiot busted out a Bill Nye The Science Guy call! Kudos to you Ronald on finding the definitive answer to that glass myth. Clearly Ram-Rod enjoys not knowing the truth about anything because he’s stuck in his own misinformed world. A world where soldiers know nothing about war, and all chew contains glass to cut your gums. Fuck you Ram.
Idiot, Toad, Ram – YOU SUCK!
snuff is for men- smoking is for pussies and feminists. cigars are for tyrants and such. i hope this helped, cocksuckers
snuff is for men? Smoking causes more damage so it definitely takes the romantic-masculine-not-give-a-shit cake. Snuff is for the pussies that are afraid of smoking you muthafutha!
yeah im one of those pussies trying to stop smoking. but yeah alot of guys dip in your unit because they can do it almost any were. you can do it indoors and it also doesn’t require the use of a light. but i never got the idea of dippin and why is it when i sy dippin no body knows wht the fuck it is. but they know what chewing tobacco is? WTF?
I am in the military and It was the first time I’ve ever seen more than 2guys dip. And before that the only male I’ve seen dip was this prior service special ops guy
