New to snus

[Simplysnus]

Hope to quit my marlboro menthol light addiction. First order was the northerner sampler, and so far the catch eucalyptus is my fave. The traditional seems to be a bit overwhelming at this point, ettan is okay. Next order I added some mint types to try, I'm a little afeared of the sterk I have lol.

Still smoking with a slight decrease in cigs thus far, trying to ease into and find some flavors I like. Understanding of course that what I like will change quite often apparently!

Great board here, glad I found it and you folks.

Welcome Aboard!
Don't be afraid of the starks/sterks while trying to quit smoking. They help a lot during times when cravings are unmanageable. Also, don't be afraid to use as many as you need at first, after all its not like your chain smoking. Good Luck, there is plenty of support on this site to help you along the way!

Welcome! Don't stress quitting in one day, snus just takes over and wins.

I used to smoke and snus at the same time. I eventually dropped the smoking part(mostly), and I didn't even want to quit :^D

You'll quit when you're ready to. just pick out snus you like, and the rest will fall into place :^)

I believe you would enjoy Thunder Frosted Long Portion. It contains 12mg nicotine, which is 50% more than a typical portion. The portions are thin and comfortable as well.

I just recently quit smoking with snus. I had a tough time with the traditional snus as first, but mixed in some mint and/or eucalyptus to break it up and it didn't take long to enjoy the traditional snus. The starks do help with the cravings. The best advice I got was to smoke if you want really want to smoke, snus the rest of the time and eventually snus will win. I went from a pack and a half a day to a couple cigs a day right away. It took me a little over a week to stop smoking, actually, I just didn't feel like going out to buy a pack, so I figured that was a sure sign that I didn't need them anymore and just stopped.

I was also turned on to dry (nasal) snuff by some of the helpful snuson members, and now with all the wonderful choices of both snus and snuff available, smoking just seems kind of boring so I have no desire to go back.

Good luck and welcome!

Welcome to the site, and Swedish snus! Many of us here quit smoking with snus too, so don't give up...just keep using the snus and eventually you'll look up and say, "Wow, I haven't had a cigarette today, and I don't want one." That's usually how it happens. As for sterks, they are your friend and are your best defense against those killer cravings, use them, lol.

Good luck and if you have any questions, please just ask us...we'll answer. Most of us have been exactly where you are right now. Again, welcome!

Okay, blessed be the sterk.


Lol

Thunder frosted is def on my next order too

[Jonnymh1]

I ordered Thunder Frosted because of all the comments people make about it. I ordered 3 cans right off the bat, because I figured I couldn't go wrong, and I was right! I had to wait for it, because it was on backorder and it's frequently out of stock and there a good reason for that. The stuff is strong and very flavorful! You won't regret it.

Congrats on using snus to kick smoking. It'll just happen like most said.

This is a cool forum and the people here are awesome. They'll help you along the way. I pretty much keep the nicotine flowing throughout the day w/ snus and snuff so I haven't had many cravings. That's the nice thing about snus. It's virtually effortless, at least portions are. You can have them anywhere, anytime. Most often people don't even know you have something in your mouth especially if you have a stash, beard, or goatee. I snus everywhere. I love snus.

Welcome! I'm a newbie, too, and also trying to quit cigs. It's easier with snus than I thought it would be. I've been snusing regularly for less than a week, and already I'm only smoking 5 or fewer cigs per day. Only one cig today.

[Simplysnus]

Skruf Stark was a good nic hit and I enjoyed it today, really helped me at lunch.

Roda Lacket is also decent, I think for now I need stark though when it's a behavioral issue, like I have a cig always.

Enjoying an oomph at work.

Also found the sweet spots for not getting so much juice, which has helped tremendously

I've usually had 8 cigarettes by this time, I've had 2, so good start so far, and pretty painless.
