15 years smoking. On 3 months with no cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
Even got my wife to join me, but she likes camel snus...yuk

36 years of smoking, now 36 days of Snus. Life is grand!

YES, quit smoking May 2009

Was a really bad chain-smoker for 12 years. I tried everything to quit... patches, gum, hypnotherapy, Allen Carr's "EasyWay". But nothing made a dent in my smoking habit, until I discovered my little Swedish friend. With Snus, I was able to dramatically cut down and eventually quit smoking entirely with none of the aggro that usually goes with quitting smoking. Hooray for Snus!

Can't believe I missed this post, so here's a shout-out especially to the females who want to quit and may be checking the site out. Snus is not disgusting, it's discreet, tastes good, much cheaper than smoking, and WORKS!

Now to the nitty gritty...I quit May 6, 2009 and haven't looked back after spending 30+ years attached to 2 packs of cigs a day. So did I already mention, it WORKS!? I tried all the "normal" methods without any luck...snus made quitting painless, which was a great thing. And on top of it, I didn't gain weight like so many others do when they quit, and I figure that must be because you have that little snus packet in your mouth so you're not as tempted to snack your brains out.

down from 45 a day for 22 years to 3-5 a day...........I see quitting in the future.

Yup, knocked my smoking on the head.

If NRT was the only other alternative I'd still be smoking now.

48 hours so far! Thank you you beautiful Swedes!

Yes...haven't touched a cig since I tried my first pouch after 20+yrs of smoking.

Thanks Rick ! You're right. been trying different snus and flavors are more pronounced. What's great about snus are the many varieties that are out there to try. Also, unlike smoking where you usually stick to one brand or type, with snus you can create a rotation of different brands and flavors. Variety is good!

Helped me kick a 2 pack a day habit.

I've been familiar with snus from 1979 and occasionally used it, sometimes regularly when I could get snus from Sweden or Finland via personal connections but always got back to smoking sooner or later. I was quite old-fashioned; didn't even have bank account, just credit union account for a long time so no debit or credit cards for online shopping and I also felt little bad bothering my friends all the time for snus. Then last year I made a decision to quit smoking for once and all and placed on order for snus and snuff as well. It was from 40-50 rollies a day to none. Snus was the primary factor there, snuff secondary but I enjoy them both.

I had bad allergies this past april where i wouldn't even think of inhaling any kind of smoke. I could barely breath. I saw advertisements for camel snus at my local beer distributor and i didn't know what the hell it was. I did some research online and read all about swedish snus and how crappy camel and marlboro snus was. I knew right there i had to have swedish snus. So i placed an order online right away while i was still in no shape to smoke. Now it was time to play the waiting game,but i needed something, so i bought camel snus. i really didn't care for it and it helped the cravings a little bit but i started reaching for the smokes. finally what seemed like weeks , my snus came in the mail. the difference was amazing! I took to it like a pro. I loved it! After 25 years of smoking i finally quit! its been 2 months so far smoke free and i love snus. the following week i placed an order for about 6 rolls worth. I knew what i liked that much.

I never get tired of hearing this!! Congrats dude. I did it 1.5 yrs ago and it keeps getting better too. The longer you use snus, the easier it will be to distinguish the "finer" flavorings in it. I assume it's because of all the abuse your tastebuds take from smoking, and it takes time for them to normalize after quitting smoking. Good luck and try many flavors because as your tastebuds normalize, your tastes in snus may change or evolve, lol...mine did. Enjoy, and if you have questions...ask away.
