Anecdotal, but with a snus in, I definitely feel the IQ/performance increase .

Doesnt apply to me. When I'm anxious taking nicotine will ramp up the anxiety.
When I'm relaxed, nicotine relaxes me further. My short term memory is dreadful. Hopefully there will be some long term brain protection but overall nicotine is a very enjoyable drug.
On a side note, something interesting happened today. I was walking down the high street and a lot of people were smoking...I felt sick to my stomach. Smokeless has really impressed me.

Whether I am anxious or not, snus has a calming effect...whereas an e-cig I have found can ramp up my anxiety.

I always hit a problem when walking into a classroom for a test. Do i have snus or not. I always ultimately end up throwing one in but it always seems like a big decisions to me. I remember reading that chewing the same flavor gum while studying and while taking a test can help you remember things so why not the same flavor of snus? The only real reason why I always debate if I should use it or not is because of a stats test i took back when I was a freshman in college, it was my first time trying Jak's ice fruit and for some reason that stuff makes my heart rate sky rocket (much stronger nic snus does not have this effect.) I spent the entire test figuratively having a heart attack and if i recall correctly I did worse than average but I really can't say for sure.

I feel it helps keep me in my routine. College courses are a joke basically anywhere you go so i usually just take 12 hours the day before and study while chain snusing and then keep that flow going into the test. A general routine is throwing in a new thunder frosted portion every 45 min or so while I study. While everyone sits in class and nervously flips through formulas and definitions I just throw in a fresh frosted portion relax and think about what I will do with the extra time I will have that day since I will be leaving that class early because of the test.
