Snus

Snus (/ˈsns/; Swedish pronunciation: [snʉːs]) is a moist powder tobacco product originating from a variant of dry snuff in early 18th-century Sweden. It is placed under the upper lip for extended periods. Snus is not fermented and contains no added sugar. Although used similarly to American dipping tobacco, snus does not typically result in the need for spitting and, unlike naswar, snus is steam-pasteurized.

The sale of snus is illegal in the European Union (except for Sweden, where it is legal), Belarus, and Russia. Local varieties of snus, growing in popularity in the United States, have been seen as an alternative to smoking, chewing, and dipping tobacco. However, as US-manufactured snus does not have the same production standards or ingredients as Swedish snus (the use of significant amounts of sugar in US products being one major difference), some believe that it should not be called "snus."

History

In the 16th century, snuff (pulverized tobacco), the precursor of snus (moist snuff), was introduced to France by French diplomat Jean Nicot, who worked at the court of King Henry II of France. He recommended snuff to Catherine de' Medici as a migraine remedy. When she became a regular user of snuff, it became a fashion among the court and upper class citizens of France, especially among females, as it was deemed more socially acceptable than other forms of tobacco.

Swaziland National Union of Students

The Swaziland National Union of Students is a membership-based organisation of students in all higher institutions of learning in Swaziland. It seeks to create a student movement and geared to confront the socio economic and political challenges of the country. The organisation also advocates an education policy that is informed by the economic demands faced by the country and the democratisation of Swazi society.

The Union's President, Njabulo Mazibuko, was elected in November 2014.

    if you wanna be the star
    just get the big guitar
    a pair of leather jeans
    lends credibility make all the critics cream
    just get down on your knees
    learn how to scream and seize
    every "opportunity"
    you'll make them beg for it
    you're one tough rockin' bitch
    you got a lot to show
    on college radio
    so drop all the petals soft as velvet
    tear up your petals moist and delicate
    flower petals soft as velvet
    rip up the petals moist and delicate
    they're falling
    now I know you wanna be the rage
    wanna live inside the formaldehyde cage
    i know your mind's made up
    your breasts tattooed
    the power won't rub off
    now it's part of you
    you got nothing to prove
    you got nothing to prove
    you've shown to those pricks once more
    made them beg for it
    you're one bad bitchin' whore
    so drop all the petals soft as velvet
    tear up your petals moist and delicate
    flower petals soft as velvet
    rip up the petals moist and delicate drop all the petals soft as
    velvet
    tear up your petals moist and delicate
    flower petals soft as velvet
    rip up the petals moist and delicate
    rip up the petals moist and delicate
    flower petals soft as velvet
    rip up the petals
    rip up the petals
