Yandy, I really think it is a combination of both. Been almost three years so really hard for me to remember exactly what it was like when I was brand new. But typical time for most folks to truly acclimate to the snus is about a month. And I think too, you just get used to and don't notice what is left.

So in a few months, i really think you won't even think about it any more.

I've got a question in a similar vein. I've been using snus for about a month, 3-5 portions a day, and I still get hit hard by the throat burn if I don't have a drink handy.

Is this normal? Will the throat burn eventually go away completely or will I just get used to it?

It's definitely normal for me. After 5-6 months of snus, I get far less burn (but also less nicotine) by using mini-portions. Using los removes the burn completely, but I do very small hits of los at a time.

I quit a 3 pack a day habit with snus. Noticed quite a bit of burn on my lip when I first started but it passed. Still cant manage to snus when I drink though got have the smokes with my beer.
