Snoose/Snuff Chewing Uncle

[BritChaser]

At 13 I found myself living with an uncle and his fam in a little rural Kansas town. Uncle chewed Copenhagen snuff which Scandinavian folks called snoose. I was sitting on the porch when he arrived home one evening. He sat down beside me, took out his snuff, and took a dip. I asked him what it was like. He held it toward me and said try some. I did. I put a pinch behind my lower lip like he did. In about 20 seconds I was lying back on the porch breathing hard and seeing stars. My first and last snuff.

I took my first dip of cope at 16 during a PE field trip in Taylor’s Falls, MN rock climbing. That began a many decades long habit/addiction…

I never did Copenhagen but my friends and I would get Redman chewing tobacco when we were in elementary school and chew during the high school football games. High school coach saw us chewing and spitting on the sidelines and threatened to never play us in high school, if he caught us chewing again. Everybody knows every body at a small school. We moved to the other side of town after 7th grade but my friends had moved on to smoking pot and doing drugs by then. Glad I never got into snuff. Mouth cancers are horrible.
