Commonly asked questions about Mint Snuff products: How do I use Mint Snuff All Mint Chew?
Place a pinch between your cheek and gums and enjoy a refreshing, satisfying dip that leaves your breath with a pleasant minty taste. The juices are safe to swallow and the dip can be eaten or spit out. Since Mint Snuff Chew's moistness comes from Maltitol, it does not promote tooth decay. (Maltitol is a sugar-free solution derived from corn syrup that does not promote tooth decay. That's why so many dentists recommend Mint Snuff Chew.) If you are trying to help someone quit tobacco, please check our brochure and learn how dentists, hygienists and other health professionals are using Mint Snuff!

How do I use Mint Snuff All Mint Pouches?
Place a pouch between your cheek and gums and let the Mint Oil crystals slowly dissolve. Within a few seconds you will notice a burst of mint flavor! Pouches are a healthy alternative to Skoal Bandits and Skoal Flavor Packs. (Skoal, Skoal Bandits, and Skoal Flavor Packs are registered trademarks of U.S. Tobacco, Inc., Greenwich, CT.) Warning: Pouches are extremely strong. If you experience mint-discomfort, discontinue use.

Can minors purchase Mint Snuff?
Mint Snuff is legally for sale to all ages. None of Mint Snuff's advertising imagery is aimed at getting kids to start chewing, period. Mint Snuff is advertised on national television, radio and other media as a healthy alternative to tobacco. A twenty-year study by a nationally known cancer research hospital hypothesizes that if a minor receives tobacco education and uses Mint Snuff instead of tobacco chews, he won't get addicted to nicotine and therefore won't graduate to cigarettes! The decision of whether a store will sell to a minor is made by the store manager.

Mike Jackson, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians is a staunch supporter of Mint Snuff.

Any new or interesting uses for the Mint Snuff Pouches?
Yes! We have learned that the Pouches have been used for many purposes... In a smoking cessation program: A newspaper columnist from Virginia, Jack Kestner, saw one of our television ads on Sixty Minutes. He came up with his own plan to quit smoking! His plan first switches the smoker from cigarettes to Skoal Bandits or Flavor Packs (both registered trademarks of UST, Inc.). This changes the smoker's behavior from reaching for a cigarette to get his nicotine to that of reaching for a pouched product to get his nicotine. After that behavior has been changed, the user can then switch to the non-tobacco, non-nicotine, Mint Snuff Pouches. Dr. Brad Rodu, has a similar program which includes Pouches as the exit strategy. Rodu's article entitled For Smokers Only, appeared nationally in newspapers. As a mouth moistener: Many doctors have told us that the Pouches seem to stimulate saliva thus offering some relief to minor cases of dry mouth, a side effect of some medications. Athletes have also reported that the Pouches seem to keep their mouths feeling less dry especially when they are exercising. As a breath freshener:  Pouches make a very appealing breath freshener. Within just a few seconds after placing a Pouch between your cheek and gum, you will begin to taste the refreshing mint flavor that can last for up to an hour. Unlike other candy breath fresheners or gum, you can talk without anyone knowing you have something in your mouth. It's virtually invisible to anyone looking at you and they will never guess you have something in your mouth. Pouches are perfect for coffee breath, garlic breath, beer breath and cigarette breath.

Is the Oregon Mint Snuff Company ANTI-TOBACCO?
No, we're not. America is still a free country and we support a person's individual right to make his own health decisions and tobacco-use decisions. If someone wants to gamble with his health and use cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, we believe it's their right to do so. It is not our goal to scare you into quitting tobacco. However, some of the graphic pictures on www.quittobacco.com  do make a compelling argument to encourage you to make YOUR OWN DECISION to quit because tobacco use can cause cancer. We provide the means to help folks quit--a healthy tobacco alternative-- and leave the anti-tobacco health crusades to those who feel so inclined. For instance, Dr. Dan Laizure of Walla Walla, Washington took his crusade against tobacco to a local rodeo and received a lot of exposure for his dental practice! He cares about his patients' health and future patients as well! Thousands of private and military dental practices throughout the country give out free samples of Mint Snuff to their patients. Mint Snuff is displayed at the annual conventions of the American Dental Association, the American Dental Hygienists Association, and various regional and state dental and hygienist associations. Various chapters of the American Cancer Society also give out samples of Mint Snuff as do various county health departments at health fairs.

Who owns the Oregon Mint Snuff Company?
The company is owned and managed by the inventor of Mint Snuff Chew and Mint Snuff Pouches, Bill Geiger. Bill had a precancerous lip condition from chewing tobacco and invented Mint Snuff Chew to help himself quit tobacco. The Oregon Mint Snuff Company is a small, niche-market company positioned as a healthy tobacco alternative. The company was founded in 1986. The Oregon Mint Snuff Company dominates the non-tobacco chew category because our quality products are produced in our own manufacturing plant. To contact Bill directly, please use KittenChat at the bottom right side of this page!
