Tobacco can seriously damage your health

David has never been particularly open to new ideas, especially ones suggested by me. Quite some time ago we went out for dinner with friends. One of the friends is a member of the Savage Club, an old style London Gentleman’s Club. The food was nice, the surroundings very opulent and a nice time was had by all.
The thing that made the evening for me was the little container of snuff which sat on the bar and was available for all to “have a pinch” from.
This was before the smoking ban came into effect and I showed the snuff to David. “You need to think about keeping this stuff on the bar” Of course, this being suggested by me meant that the idea was consigned to the bin straight away.
Coming home from work last week, and finding the usual cluster of smokers outside the front of the door was nothing unusual. Brooks, one of the staff said “Here, Chris, I’ve got a present for you” and he handed me what is commonly known as a “K bottle”, a small plastic device used by clubbers to store and administer ketamine or cocaine. “Put the bloody thing away! I hissed at him, “it’s ok, it’s not what you think” he said.
On closer inspection, I could see that, while the container itself was similar to the one that I’ve used in the past, it had a small health warning sticker on it. It was snuff.
Finally, after eighteen months, David had gotten his finger out of his arse and started stocking the stuff.
It was prompted by a drastic fall in the sale of cigs from the cigarette machine. Anyway, the snuff is flying out, you get sixty “hits” out of each bottle and, because of the container that it’s in, there’s no of the old style sniffing it off of the back of your hand. Much cleaner.
It is, of course, still tobacco. Hence the health warning. That’s the down side. The up side is that, when empty, you can use the container to keep your coke in!
