[RedMacGregor]

8 pounds down since i started snus in november.. it's reduced my appetite and desire to drink (alcohol) big-time...

loving me some gote rape now

[RedMacGregor]

oh, as a note on this, i haven't made any other deliberate lifestyle changes, exercise or anything...

just swapped pipe/cigar for snus

[Veganpunk]

I've noticed my alcohol intake has dropped since I quit smoking as well. It's just not the same with snus.

I tried the same. Whenever i quit smoking i gain like 15 pounds. When i quit smoking with snus my weight was the same.

:shock: what ?

I even like drinks more with snus than with cigs

:lol:

I actually have lost 5lbs since I quit smoking too...weight gain was my biggest fear since my sister gained 50 and her husband 100 when they quit, and I guess the snus kept me from munching since it's in my mouth most of the time anyways.

I am always 15 lbs up without cigs, no matter how much I snus.

Interesting in that you're a lot healthier using snus and not gaining weight then quitting all nicotine and gaining even 10 or 20 lbs, much more so gaining 50 to 100 lbs.

That's what I figured too...I'll chance a little tobacco in the mouth over gaining 50 lbs :wink:

Havn't lost much weight but i'm pretty slim tos tart with. My apetite certainly has changed since I started snussing, it cut at least 1 meal a day and decreased the portion size of every other meal

The longer I am away from smoking (I had my last cigarette sometime in April) the easier it is to not snack in place of smoking as something to keep me occupied.
Also, since starting snuff, I find myself going for a toot rather than unhealthy snacking and eating smaller meals.
I don't know how much weight I've lost because I wasn't trying or keeping track and now my clothes are getting looser, not that I was or am now thin by any means...

Well, I was drinking piss water and couldn't really taste it. Now I have to use the extra money I'm saving by not smoking and buy better beer.

[truthwolf1]

Gained about 15 pounds in six months switching to snus. I use to move more by going outside to smoke etc. Now after a year and 8 months it seems like my body is strangely starting to adapt and shed what I gained.

I have also switched to drinking beer and straight shots instead of sugary cocktails which also might be helping.

Congrats!

I've lost 40 pound since quitting smoking and switching to snus. I exercise a lot more now because I CAN exercise without running out of breath. 8)
