    I'm saving money with snus.

    A few weeks i ago i reckoned on a can a day would be about right and stocked up accordingly. I still have a load left and it's lasted me around twice the time i expected it to last plus i've got a real variety. Although supplies are dwindling a little now i have saved myself a small fortune when compared to before snussing.

    The same thing happened to me.... I stocked up before PACT and thought I only had enough to last about 9 months, turns out it will last a year or more.

    I find that snus isn't the monkey on my back that smoking used to be as I can forget to snus where with cigarettes I NEVER forgot to smoke.

      Hard to say if I'm saving money because I never kept too much info on the monthly pipe tobacco cost and the occasional new pipe would skew the results anyway. I really don't care if I am saving or not, snus is worth it.

        I currently have a collection of about 50tins and I fully expect them to last the better part of 6-8 months. That would have been 1 2/3 months if they were cigarettes. So yes by buying in bulk and using less, I save much more in the long run

          Yeah, snus is definitely cheaper than smoking.

            Even after PACT snus is definitely one of the cheapest harm reduction strategies around, both in the long and short term, depending how much you stock pile. Snuff is the only one that edges it out, but snuff alone did not get me quit.

            VS Pipe's it is hard to say even with new pipe purchases. Pipe tobacco is so cheap depending on your usage. However when I smoked I could never stay to just one thing I was smoking. So I had cigs, pipes, and cigars all on hand.

              I'm saving money with snus, just because I have so much in stock, I wouldn't need to buy any tobacco for at least a year and a half. (But I still keep buying once in a while!)

                When i smoked a pipe the tobacco was cheap but i ended up spending a lot on new pipes which could sometimes be quite expensive... i could have gone for estate pipes i guess but i never did.

                  I'm pretty much breaking even compared to smoking. This is only because there is a local Indian Rez that I buy bags of rollies from. But, snus is definitely the way to go. I'm renewing my commitment after trying to stop all nicotine too many times and failing miserably. Plus, snus is so damn enjoyable. Nicotine definitely helps my mood, energy, and concentration among other benefits.

                  I don't have a lot of money so I'll be using Northerner to cash in on points and free cans when I can.

                  I'll probably overlap with the smokes for awhile until snus takes over completely. So, my tobacco expense will be higher. But, the snus is worth every dime, even with PACT.

                    Heck yeah! Saving sh**loads of money.

                    With my usage a months worth of snus costs as much as a weeks worth of cigarettes or dip.

                      When smoking cigarettes, smoked about a carton a week at $48.00 a carton (this was a year ago, now probably more like $55.00).
                      SNUS 1 roll lasts about a month - Last large purchase from PremiumSnus out the door cost was $36.00 a roll

                      So, smoking about $200.00 a month
                      SNUS and snuff (I'll say 10 grams a week, so $3.00 worth a week or so) for a total of about $50 a month.

                      Yeah, that is huge savings. Additionally nicotine cravings are completely satisfied now. Cigarette smoking leads to constant nicotine craving, besides the 5 minutes to smoke it and the 10 minutes or so after.

                      SNUS and snuff = HUGE WIN!!!
