4-6 Portions per day

I'm trying to cut down to around 8 portions a day. I have a bad habit of putting another snus one right after the other. I'm sure it's not healthy...

I know how you feel. I try and limit the los snus to 30 minutes to be easy on my gums and less chance some one at work comments about it. But I would highly recommend trying los more. Maybe only at home treat. But about the benefits, are you an ex smoker? Dipper? Cause either way, snus is with out a doubt safer

After 3 months of snusing I've learned a little bit about my snusing personality.

- I hate sweet snus.
- if I continue the habit I will probably switch to slim portions to keep it off the gum line
- I hate loose snus. It gets in between your gums is much harder on the gums and looks scary and nasty as you try to convince people it's a lesser evil in the tobacco world
- White portions are my favorite, drip isn't harsh, appealing look, and enjoyable all around
-4-6 Portions a day is the sweet spot. Any less and I may as well drop the habit, any more and it loses its magic. Buzz lessens (if not dissappears), gums get irritated, etc etc.

It's been an interesting journey. I've got one more roll in my fridge and after that I'm kickin the habit while I volunteer in Guatemala. Snus is interesting, it has its place, but still not sure if I want it apart of my life. I worry about gum recession, fiance isn't thrilled about it, and it's an added expense that costs around $1-2 a day.

Still it's not without benifits. It makes my morning cup of tea magical! I can't wait to get out of bed and throw in a portion while I relax and start my day. I work in a kitchen which can be very high stress and when a snus is leeching vitamin N into my system it definitely mellows you out. Meanwhile my Co workers are biting each other's head off waiting for their smoke break. And finally it's a constant. I have my keys, my wallet, my busted phone and a pack of snus. Like a trusted friend sitting in my pocket when I'm bored, stressed, or simply looking to pass the time giving me 30-45 min of "relief" while I go about my day.

I guess I have to ask myself like I would any drug or medicine. Do the risks outweigh the benifits? Only time will tell
