Wiki for dipping tobacco:
Canadian and American “tins” generally differ in size;[citation needed] US tins are generally 34 grams while Canadian tins are 15 grams.[citation needed] Smokeless tobacco products are also more expensive in Canada, comparatively.[citation needed] Prices for a 15 gram tin of average, popular brand smokeless tobacco are normally around $10-12 Canadian Dollars.[citation needed] As of November 2008, smokeless tobacco prices in Canada are scheduled to rise 64 percent, totalling approximately 10 dollars per tin. Though prices tend to vary more from one state to the next in the US, it is quite common to find the same brands of smokeless tobacco products in containers twice the size as Canadian ones, for around half the price.[citation needed] Canadian users wait longer for new products to be released and spend, depending on province, up to 40% more. Many flavours are not released in Canadian markets until much later than American markets, due to Canadian tobacco denormalization laws. As of September 2008, Canadian smokeless tobacco products are offered in 34 gram tins, identical in volume to their American counterparts. The price of these new tins are around fourteen dollars per 34 gram tin, negating the temoporary sixty four percent price hike that occurred briefly in the preceeding summer. The new price is uniform with pre-summer Canadian pricing- roughly forty cents per gram.
I assume all the rest of that stuff has airtight citations. Actually, I’m guessing it’s all correct, angry smokers (or dippers, I guess) usually have most of their facts right.
