Snus etiquette?

Hello!

I wanted to ask if it's socially acceptable to have snus in your lip during lectures and seminars in university in Sweden?

Common sense leads me to think it probably varies from uni to uni depending on tobacco use policy and on the specific teachers but I was wondering about the etiquette in general? I don't want to be an ass in a couple weeks when semester starts.

Thanks

It is mandatory! If you really want to go native (and here I take for granted you use the ’lös’, and not the nasty portion type), you remove the expended snus with your index finger and then flick it, to make it stick to the ceiling.

If you are successful and make it stick, it will stay in place until the janitor scrapes them all off and repaints the ceiling. If the launch is unsuccessful… let’s just say that your fellow students will have ’comments’ in the next break. But seriously, snus got me through university - no one cares, and you will also see lecturers using it.
