Snus and smoking

[Simplysnus]

You know, I quit pretty easily with snus, but 4 months later I'm jonesing for a cig, hopefully this will pass soon.

Next time your around a smoker have one, It may just be the reinforcement you need to keep quit. I still have one every now and again, especially in a social atmosphere where smokes and alcohol are present. It's never put me back on the smoking road.

[WickedKitchen]

Same here. In fact, my cigs were Camel Lights and I really just don't like them anymore. I prefer a different cigarette, almost any other one really. Even if I have one and use mouthwash and brush well I still have that taste in my mouth in the morning. That in itself is enough not to go back...and the phlegm. Ugh. Many say just go ahead and have one. The snus will win anyhow.

[Simplysnus]

Yeah, I had thought of doing that and I think I'd probably ditch the cig halfway and remember how crappy it was.

[Roo]

Smoke! It sucks. You'll see why, like Blue said. It's a good way to validate your decision to switch. I validate mine fairly often... but very rarely smoke a whole cig. Notice I said "switch" and not "quit"? That was not intentional. Maybe I'm getting sick of being a nic head.

[Simplysnus]

Yeah I'm hanging out with the snus for a while and then will consider knocking that out, will have to see when that is hah.

[WickedKitchen]

What did you smoke regularly? Just curious

[GoVegan]

I smoke about once or twice a month with friends or when I am camping and I always go back to snus. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Smoking is nice but cigarettes will actually start to taste worse over time. Also, snus is about 1/3 of the cost to use and you can use it anywhere. If you break down and hove one or two, you will probably just go back to snus.

Marlborol menthol light

[Simplysnus]

The weird part is it's only at night, all day I don't even think about the smokes and in the evening I think yeah, I'd like one

I smoke two cigarettes every day.

One on the ride TO work.
One on the ride FROM work.

My cigarettes stay in my car.

I chew Copenhagen long cut. Every morning. I have a fat dip while I Shite.Shower. and Shave. and it helps me get my nic ramped up for the day.

After work I'll snoot a half a gram or so of snuff too before supper. Usually around 8 or 10 portions of snus a day at work.

I can skip my cigs, I do on weekends, I can skip my dip, I do fairly often. I can't skip my snus.

If I had to choose only one it would be snus hands down.

I snuff and chew and smoke and snus. At the end of the day snus is more important for me. The rest is just habit, divergence, and novelty.

[WickedKitchen]

Your theme song should be Thunderstruck Baker, with all that nic. Woo hoo...God bless ya, man. I think I'd crap myself if I tried that now.

Simply, I wonder if the menthol matters. I never liked them except the occasional Kool that my buddy smokes. Actually, a Newport in the hot summer was good too every now and again. For some reason I don't think they'd be as repulsive as a plain tobacco cig. Weird that I say that as I am vehemently opposed to menthol/mint stuff.

[Simplysnus]

Yeah tbh a non-menthol I'd pass on, I use probably 70% minty type snus right now. Long ago switched to menthol with some female to blame and didn't like the flavor when switching back

[myuserid]

I smoked Marlboro Menthol Lights also.

I wasn't really even trying to quit cigarettes (never thought I had a chance in hell). Luckily I found snus, and then snuff, and then cigars, and then pipes (although I have smoked pipes before ). I smoke cigarettes when I want to still, but I've only smoked 4 in the last year. Just smoke one, you'll be OK!
