Thanks for the support everyone! It's really nice to see that there is brotherhood in snus

Hope the skruf treats you better!

still working on it but getting there. Seems like the thunder is really harsh on the throat. I am trying it with Skruf now..

I know I'm just like you lynx! I dispose of my snus far earlier than most and if I'm working at a computer, or driving, or anything really then I just keep reaching for another when I'm done. When I stop to think about what I'm doing I realise that I'm using far too many and putting them in when I don't even want one - that's where the habit overtakes the addiction - and it can end up costing a LOT of money in extra snus.

I'm glad you've got your mojo back!

[lynx23]

John, you are absolutely right. Since I've lowered the dosage the feeling has reduced dramatically. I don't have the feeling that I might be dying tomorrow seems like I've been using too much consistently and not even thinking about it at all. Especially when I'm sitting in the office doing work I don't even notice how often I throw one in. i've timed it 2 days ago and I throw a new one in every 20 minutes... which i guess is too much.

Thanks for the advice on www.snusline.com or www.topsnus.com also thanks @ cody
I will check out

Snusline also carries odens and jakobsons

I get the same thing sometimes ... usually when I'm busy and throwing snus in without thinking how much I'm using. The drip can irritate the throat too - and after a big night out involving quite a lot of drinking it can be really apparent! I find that switching to different brands, moving on to lower strength snus and generally looking after myself will sort out any kind of throat irritation I'm getting.

By the way you can get Skruf in Europe via www.snusline.com or www.topsnus.com

thanks for your post. I've looked into acid reflux but It's not the case with me. It is when I lower the use of snus that my throat starts to feel a bit better. I've been off snus for 2 days now and it's already a big difference. Just bummer that we can't order General or Skruf here in Europe. there is really not much choice for good snus other than v2 ...

I used to have a feeling like a damn golf ball was in my throat related to untreated acid reflux. My throat still feels like crap, but not NEARLY as bad as when I was eating pizza everyday without any acid reflux drugs. Never had this problem with snus though

[Skell18]

No worries, I use mainly general OP or General ES.

[lynx23]

Skell, very useful info here - Thanks. I will stop the thunder sterks for now and see how it goes. I really hope it will go away.
What kind of snus are you using currently?

[Skell18]

Happens to me with V2 Starks too, stop using them and it goes away. The frosted always hurt my throat, I just switch down to regular strength snus if it happens or, you can switch to the white portions, the drip on thunder is very harsh and comes on quickly. With whites it takes longer and there isn't as much drip.

mint snus will make your gums recede faster so I hear, I panicked when I found a white patch on my gums once,mourns out it was just dried out from the salt in snus as then I only used snus on one side.

[lynx23]

interesting to see that it has this kind of effect on more people. I really do wonder what the long term consequences of a sustained irritation are.
It is known that sustained irritation can lead to enlarged lymph nodes which in turn, if they become chronic, can lead to tumors.
Do you guys check your throat regularly?

[Burnsey]

I used to get exactly that feeling in my throat when i started taking snus. I gave up sterks and it went away. Just use the regular portions now with no problems. The v2 thunder frosted did burn the gums off me as well.

This.....
I also notice that the sterks make my voice sound hoarse, but I'm a sucker for the stronger flavors......
