    I'm smoking some Virginia in a briar pipe with a mug of tea - it's great.

Got to the point where price did it for me and my supply of cheap fags dried up, then snus made a wonderful appearance
    Yeah the price of cigarettes is phenomenal alright. It definitely is a good incentive to cut down. for me though it was the health issues that was foremost in my mind and finally pushed me to find a way to quit. Having said that though, when i did smoke i always found time to nip off and have a few drags, work or no work lol.

Take it out, get on with it, have much, pop a snus in, go home have dinner, put a snus in afterwards, easy Few pinches of snuff in between if I remember and jobs a goodun.
    Man, i never had that control when i was on the cigs. I guess it's just willpower and practise to get your usage down isn't it. After about 40 - 50 mins i'd take out my used Snus and throw another in, everytime.

    Skell, 3 or 4 a day max!!!! I'd be pulling my hair out brother lol. But seriously a trip to Sweden is the bottom line isn't it? if all avenues become closed. I'd seriously consider it, sacrifices would have to be made, but it would be worth it to get Snus.

    Lol yeah Fazer. I know i shouldn't be laughing brother, but it's either that or start crying about the situation we find ourselves in.

    I have a few tins of Snuff here in the house, Wilsons of sharrow lemon toast, medicated, and Atherthon's jasmine. I tried to get into it, and used it for a few weeks but kept wanting Snus instead. That's a good point you make about nic tolerance though, and trying to get it down to where nasal stuff will actually work, especially when events in the EU have taken a turn for the worst. I might give snuff another try, and use it every now and then instead of Snus.
