Post your experiance here if snus helped you to quit smoking

[Marlboroman]

Smoked for over 10 years, about 1 pack daily. After trying Snus about a year ago, it took me exactly 4 days to completly cease it and i`ve never smoked one cigarette again. Lung health is greatly improved, i don`t stink anymore, my apartment doesn`t stink anymore, there`s no need to go outside when it`s freezing just to take a smoke. What can i say? Life without cigarettes is awesome...The only downside of Snus is the extreme heartburn it gives me from time to time. But well, everything is better than smoking.

It's a sad state of affairs,Ansel.I can't risk ordering more than a few cans at a time and I have the distinct impression that the limitations are related to weight rather than actual numbers of cans ordered,but I could be wrong.
Have to say that I'm grateful for the fact that snus is not on the banned imports list.

Until a month ago I still had problems with smoking at parties or when drinking. I would always get severe cravings, and would bum a cig or buy a pack as soon as it struck.

However, now I have been smoke-free for four weeks, and since it's summer, I've been drinking quite a lot without any problems what so ever. What finally worked for me was vaping during times of a craving. Then I still get the social aspect of smoking, and it's a great conversation starter. I can't tell you how many people who have asked me about it since I started using it for real.

So yeah, for me, snus and vaping is the ultimate cigarette craving killer while out drinking. On regular days, I don't have a craving for smokes what so ever, but I still vape because it's delicious.

One good thing I've noticed when you quit smoking is that the longer you go without doing it, the more distant the thought of giving in becomes. I now feel absolutely NO urge to inhale toxic smoke anymore. NONE. Even when intoxicated to the point where making bad decisions becomes easier.

Stopped smoking for the past 2-3 weeks. Stocked up on 2-3 cans, waited until it was rainy weekend and I did not want to go the shop. Was fine after 24 hours, did sleep for 12 of it though.

No cigarettes for four weeks now, thanks to snus.

I switched from cigarettes to snus gradually. It took about a month for me.

I know four weeks isn't very long, but I don't think I'll be going back to smoking. It seems really nasty to me now. And I am so very relieved to not smoke or care about it any more.

I love snus. Love it.

I have now been cigarette-free for a year and a half. I smoked a pack a day for five years. Snus helped me quit cigarettes immediately.

Cigars are an occasional enjoyment, but I smoke them very irregularly; sometimes four or five in a month, and sometimes no cigars for several months on end. I never crave for a cigar, and I simply smoke them with my friends as a hobby.

Well congratulations! That's great news. Thanks for posting and welcome to Snuson.

One week of not smoking here. Could not be happier. It's nice and liberating to be coughing the crap out of my lungs that has been there the last 6 years.

I started smoking when I was 16, and was quickly up to a pack of Marlboro Reds a day. Kept up on that through high school, quit last May after three years (I'm only 20). At first, I was using primarily nasal snuff with the occasional portion. Around December, I had completely lost my sense of smell, could not breathe through my nose, and was told by my ENT doc that I needed a septoplasty. As I didn't want this somewhat debilitating surgery, I gave up snuff and turned exclusively to snus. Within days, my sinuses had cleared and I regained my sense of smell. It was sad; I truly loved nasal snuff but it exacerbated my preexisting sinus/septum problems and I had to give it up. Nonetheless, I'm thankful for snus. What a marvelous transition it has been!

Had my first pack of smokes when I was 12 and have always had a pack on me since I was 15. I am thirty now, so 15 years of a pack a day habit. I have tried patches, gum, inhalers, ecigs..etc with no luck quitting.

Years ago got a free tin of camel snus but it never took care of my nic needs so I blew off Snus. I heard how Swedish snus was so much better but did not have the confidence to order some from Sweden A few weeks ago I came across some General at a local gas station. I did a little research to make sure it was the real deal and then jumped on it.

A day after getting my hands on some real Swedish snus I was smoke free. It has really has been 15 years since I went a day with out at least 10 cigs. The first week I still had my struggles getting over the route and the hand and mouth thing. Snus really help keep me on track even when I was sitting next to my wife burn one down. I recommend keeping some extra stark laying around for the weak moments. I have not had a smoke for three weeks and don't plan on ever going back. I feel so much better and love how I am not looking for a moment where I can sneak out as well as getting the evil looks of non smokers.

Thanks bro, I've been finding I've been enjoying the snus more than I enjoy cigarettes as of lately. Parents absolutely despise it, but they'll have to learn to deal. 6 years of smoking. Started when I was 15, now am 21. I just love having my own place and mailing address. My friend who has been smoking for the same amount of time is also quitting for snus. None of us thought that the first tin of Camel snus would be a gateway to quitting. I then researched snus and learned about real Swedish snus, and relayed this to my friend also. Amen for snus, that's for sure.
