What have I done all those years?

[SnusoMatic]

i used to smoke. tried regular snus at first and was not enough nic for me. now i mostly use strongs, loose and portion.

i have had diabetes for 33 years. i have to test my sugar many times a day. never noticed nicotine causing it to go up or down at all. everyone's different but that's how it effects me.

[reeviint]

I don't notice increased heart rate, but I would never exercise with snus in, especially a strong one. Do you exercise at all? My advice is to not worry about the snus, take fish oil supplements.

Id relax man like everyone else here has said, or else youll end up like me worrying enough to induce panic and anxiety, and trust me, living with that stuff sucks!!

Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Keep us posted though, and I wish you the best for your health and such, and if you are sensitive to nicotine as I am try to use nasal snuff to combat your cravings and cut back on the chain snusing a bit.

[Frosted]

....to be accurate...20 tins a month with snuff on top. Unless you have an underlying medical condition just chill.

[Frosted]

I do at least a tin of Extreme every two days. You'll find that even that is pussy compared to the Swedes.
The only side effect from that is pure enjoyment and happiness I'm afraid :-(
Excess nicotine produces sedative effects, and by the sound of things yer not getting enough.

Interesting,

is there a correlation between stark snus use and diabetes? this is quite worrisome

I'd worry more about your pancreas and premature diabetes from the spike in insulin from all that nicotine. You're probably used to it by now....

Seriously though, you should worry more about the fluoride in your water or salt and the chemtrails being sprayed over your house.

Dear Friends,


I just recently read that using ES portions is not a good idea health wise. Not knowingly I've used Skruf ES portions for the last 3 years or so. My intake was Half a can (12 portions) a day or so. sometimes I even chainsnus ES portions. I got used to the nic. level pretty quickly so I don't really feel much of a buzz when I use. I've had some problems with heart palpilations but those could have been due to something else. Other than that my doc. diagnosed Thyroid underfunction so now I take Thyroid hormones for that but again, this could have been due to something else unrelated to snus.

In general, is it so uncommon to use ES portions exclusively? I said to my self "same price, might as well get a better buzz" Now i am worried that I might have really done something to my health all those years and that there might be consequences to my behavior.. :-(

Anyone got some advice / information regarding high nic. intake in relation to ES portions and health? it would calm me already knowing that I am not the only one using ES portions regularly. Matter of fact, I've only been using one kind of snus for all the years I've been using... after reading some posts I feel that I've engaged in helpless n00b behavior. is that so?

Best,
Thomas

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I started really liking snus right before PACT so ordered rolls and rolls thinking I would not have another chance until I was out of the US. If it was on sale I bought it.

After awhile found that the ones that really eliminated all urge to smoke were around Odens Extra Stark, Skruf Xtra Stark and General Ekstra Sterk nic levels. So that is almost all I used for about a year.

Now I use everything. Odens Extreme in the morning is always nice but I don't need that strength level all day.

The way to cut the nic you use is to make sure to have a few others around that you like and it will happen gradually.

Whalen is right in that your body will let you know when you overdo it.
