We both tried ‘snus’. Is it the new vaping?

Any addict knows that the process of chasing the hit soon becomes as much a part of the dependency as the drug. Take, for example, the coffee fusspots who obsess about their paraphernalia like needle-fixated junkies. This gives me some comfort about the latest drug experience I’m high on while writing this article: the use of “snus” involves the least glamorous ingestion method short of a suppository. By the time I am — hand trembling, heart racing — fishing a slimy white slug, trailing drool, from my mouth, I can see how hard it will be for this to become cool.
