    BuLLitz, yep, there was. i used to say a prayer every nite, not to ask for stuff but to just let god know i'm hanging around. i hadn't prayed in a while and the nite before my birthday i shot god a prayer. when i was walking to the couch the next morning to roll a cig that "thought" or whatever it was happened. not to sound too weird on this, but it wasn't from me. and when it happened i just had to roll with it. it's like i was told to do it. strange, but true... :shock:

        Congratulations zman, that is really an inspiring story. Isn't it amazing how easy snus makes it to drastically improve your health and your life? (and bank account) I still can't believe it. I'm only 30 and I used to wheeze sometimes when I laid down. It scared me, especially being pretty young. Since I stopped smoking I've been running 4-5 times a week and lost 20 lbs (would be more but the volume of beer I drink, while not nearly as high as you :wink: , is keeping the beer-gut firmly in place). I could have never improved my health like that as a smoker, and I love not wheezing, stinking, (remember how awful it was smoke in a cotton sweatshirt in the rain??) and making late-night runs to the cig store to spend $7 because the thought of waking up with no cigs would make me damn-near panic. Snus for the win.

            I can fix that.
            Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





            I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                  That was a kickass story zman! I wished I listened to that voice more often. With me it usually gets to the point of "hey dumbass, I'm talking to you!" before I listen! Take snus for example. I saw an ad for Camel snus that said Sold Cold, and thought "oh boy, another silly ploy to sell more dip". After a few weeks every time I turned around I was seeing Camel ads and getting coupons in the mail. Finally curiosity got the better of me, and I picked up a can. I found out that it was an American version of a Swedish product and hit google.

                  I had been looking for a way to get off the cigs for at least 2 years. Gum, patches, homeopathic remedies, nothing worked! I started snusing to cut back on smoking, but after 2 weeks just didn't have the desire to smoke anymore. After 2 months smoke free, I can't make myself believe all those Camel ads were just a coincidence!! 8)

                    Cigs have a built in method [some say therapy] to get you to quit smokin em. If you smoke enuff cigs you will simply die. Its called Death Therapy and it works everytime.

                        I was working on a project near DFW. During my stay in Dallas I was staying at the Westin. There wasn't much around the hotel except for a Denny's and a Mini-mart/Gas Station. I walked to the mini-mart to get a pack of smokes. While waiting in line, I looked at the cigarettes behind the counter to see if they had my brand.

                        I saw a display for Marlboro SNUS.

                        I asked the clerk, "What the hell are those"? He said, "Smokeless and spitless tobacco"?

                        Um... excuse me? What did he say? Smokeless AND spitless? I'll be damned.

                        I thought, these would be perfect for the flight home so I snagged a couple packs of each flavor. Why not? They were only 99 cents.

                        I actually liked them enough that I would be willing to substitute my smoking habit with them.

                        On travel day, as I was running through the airport, I happened to lose all of my unopened SNUS (from my jacket) except for the 1 pack I had in my front pocket.

                        The next morning, I did a search on the internet for Marlboro SNUS and found that Dallas was a test market.

                        DAMMIT

                        But then I started reading more and found many articles about swedish snus.
                        The rest is history.

                                I had one of those "click" experiences about 5 years ago. Felt like I was totally alone in the world. Then I found out there were other people like me going through the exact same things. Life has been awesome ever since.
