how long have you snusing?

[Renico]

I was at my dentist not long ago and he said nothing about the dot.. forgot to ask him about it though. Will do next time.

And yes i try to put it in different places every time but i only use right and left upper side so its not that different :=)

[timholian]

I have been snussing since April '10, I use about 8 portions a day (give or take a portion) And have had no problems with my gums.

And yes, I switch where I put my portion every time.

Over 10 years, on/off with smoking. 4 month ago i quit smoking and start using snus daily.
Lös can last maybe 2 days. No problem with gums, i use snus at same place.. Maybe change side sometimes..

I've been snusing for about 2 years and 3 months. Always put my snus in the same spot. Never had any dots or anything weird like that.

The only time I got irritation was when I used white portions exclusively, which made my gums get dry and uncomfortable at times, so I switched to OP's. Haven't had it since.

Daily for about 2-3 years. I used it every now and then before that as well when I smoked though. I have had no problem with my gums at all. White portions though burn and irritate the gums more than original portions do, as Chadizzy1 said.

Snus has been proven NOT to cause cancer. I would say it's about as harmful as potato chips cancer-wise. It's mainly the smoke and the particles from fermenting tobacco (as with chew) that makes tobacco cancerous. Snus is pasteurized and therefore contains very low levels of TSNA.

I would say it's about as harmful as potato chips cancer-wise.

It's been proven that coffee and oral sex are more harmful and have a higher cancer risk than snus.

I also wondered if the chances of getting cancer by snus is as high as getting it from smoke or chew tobacco? I mean, if you smoke, you should be unlucky if you get cancer. But if you snus you should be really really unlucky?

About two years and two months. I chain snus. No issues what so ever.

[Renico]

Sweet. Really glad to hear snus is safe.

[Veganpunk]

It really is. It sucks that it cost so much now though.

[snusgetter]

It's been proven that coffee and oral sex are more harmful and have a higher cancer risk than snus.

Yet there has not been a thread concerning the health hazards of these,
nor inquiries about how best to quit them...



just sayin'...

[Veganpunk]

Oral sex is worth the risk IMO!

Oral sex is worth the risk IMO!

Maybe it's time for a new poll/thread!!!

About 2 years I would say... Actually on and off for 3 years in Nov, but it's been about 2 years every day.
