We need more lower nicotine snuses!

I vote yes, though I've yet to try the 6 mg portion, but I could see it having its place. When I first started on snus, I couldn't tell the difference between 8 and 11 mg. All I knew is that with snus, I had no desire to smoke. But apparently I'm in the final phase of my transitional period, because I've noticed over the past few weeks that I can really feel the nicotine from snus. I guess my body has finally adjusted to receiving nicotine from smokeless tobacco, and I can really notice the extra nicotine in Onyx, for instance. I have some higher nicotine snus in my freezer, but they were part of the free mystery cans from Northerner and I haven't tried them. I'm worried now that they might be too much for me, and I'm not even that curious to try them. Though the 8 mg mini's I am curious about.

Those already exists though. Thunder Mini+ and Thunder Frosted Mini+. 8 mg each, but mini portions.

I know. I got a free can with my order. Sorry, I didn't make that clear. It's in my freezer, I just haven't tried it yet.

I was going to say to you, heders, that if you want to scale back on your nicotine intake, you should consider the way we do it here, outside of Sweden. I recall reading your post where you said in Sweden you guys typically are putting in another snus every 30 minutes. Maybe you should leave it in longer. For me that just seems like too much nicotine, and a lot of times the flavor doesn't reach its maximum peak until well after a half hour.

That's true! Yeah, I chain snus and don't actually keep them in for that long because they get so slippery. Sometimes I can manage to keep them in for long, but it's not often. And even if I don't feel the crave for nicotine at all, I throw one in anyway because I miss the taste. Not good... I think I actually will try to wait until I feel the craving to take a new one, and then keep it in for longer. It's very true what you say!

It's a very good idea. I think there's a chance to decrease the nicotine usage for those who always has a portion in their mouth, by getting used to it.

The main things are still there, the snus and som nicotine too.

Exactly! I think a lot of people actually are interested in this. Either to still get tobacco pleasure but less stimulating effects of nicotine, or to use in the evening for example before bed or during sleep. It also might be a good alternative for those who plan to quit and wants to step down a few notches. I mean, for cigarettes, nicotine patches, and almost all tobacco products, there are different strengths, ranging from, for example ultra lights (0,1 mg of nicotine) to full strength (1 mg). I really think this should be the case with snus as well.

It's good to see there's an interest for this.


For you who haven't voted yet, do it! (And please vote yes for PP's sake )
