Question Smokeless Tobacco-17 free cans

I have 6 coupons for a free tin of Camel SNUS and 11 coupons for a free can of Marlboro (all smokeless tobacco or "dip"). Any suggestions on who to donate products to? Not sure if any of our troops are allowed to receive these & even if allowed, how to get to them. I'm in northwest metro Atlanta. Thanks, I hope someone can help make sure these don't go to waste.

I certainly would not want to be a part of helping a soldier or anyone else obtain these products. Have you ever seen a patient with lung cancer or cancer of the head and neck? I have! I would let those coupons go to waste.

Smokeless tobacco creates the ugliest cancers. Burn the coupons. Why give away free tobacco??

Talking Judgemental?

Okay, I know tobacco is bad for you. And I have seen cancer patients.

For some odd reason, I was under the impression this site was all about saving money. It is a wonderful site!!

So, lets look at this another way - Do all the really obese people with heart problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. really need to be saving money on all their junk food or getting certificates from restaurant.com?? Have you ever seen patients on dialysis machines? Or heart attack victims?

Just something to think about.

People that use this, are gonna spend the money regardless. She was only trying to save someone the money that would buy it anyway.
My husband dips (yes I wish he would quit), but unfortunately those are not his brands or I would beg you for them, LOL as it is an expensive habit he has had for 25 years.

Hey RockinRobin! I'm a Navy Veteran who has several buddies still in service that would love those coupons. Yeah I understand they are deadly and cancerous but these guys have more imminent dangers to worry about. As long as it makes em feel a little at ease through the rough times, its worth it. Trust me I know. Email me and I'll send you my address where to ship em if your still interested. I don't mind paying shipping!!
email: tretoud20@yahoo.com. I know they will appreciate ANYTHING we give em!

Talking From an Army Wife

With all of the things that my husband and his buddies have gone through and seen since 9/11, if using tobacco is the worst of their habits, then I am one happy woman! We do know several guys deployed right now who would love the coupons! Thanks for thinking of the guys!

Thanks swinn203! Many thanks also to your husband, his buddies and all their families serving our country!!

I mailed a bunch of coupons this morning to chuk44 (actually got 10 more since I first offered for a total of 27)! I agree totally regarding exposure to other dangers as well as bad habits. I could send some to you if you want - let me know because the other 10 I got are only accessible once my hubby opens a pack of cigs (they're inside each pack).

You can post a reply to this because I'm not sure if my profile allows private messages/replies, etc. Going to check now.
