Nasal snuff and snus

[Belatorius]

So Iv been able to go max 3 months with out lighting up thanks to snus but eventually the hard cravings got to me. Couple of months ago I bought some nasal snuff (surprised how cheap..) and They do take the edge off. Sometimes they even give the relief as if I smoked. My question is, is anyone worried about any nose problems? I typically let it sit in my nose for 30 seconds to a minute before blowing or "digging" a napkin to clean it out. Havent been able to really find any solid information on whether its a safer alternative than smoking (I feel like it is). Any one have any statistics they'd like to share? Facts and evidence tends to ease my insincerity. Thanks!




P.s. Any recommendations? So far menthol isnt my fav. Not the worse, but not my favorite (red bull) and Im really liking toast. (Wilsons of sharrow Irish toast no. 22) And apricot is ok in small doses or mix it with Samuel gawith's honey. Just looking for something smooth with a decent hit <3

Nasal snuff is a very safe harm reduction method. There is not one case of cancer linked to snuff except one- in the 1800s there was some person in Africa (I think) who put it in their ear and ran into trouble.

Otherwise, it is a great tool in your belt to help transition off of cigarettes. In fact, many of the x-smokers here say it is more like a cigarette hit than snus is. For many the two work well together (snus as the mainstay. Snuff as a boost)

As far as getting it out of the nose, some people tend to obsess with this early on. As you go you will find your morning shower takes care of most of that. Blow when you need to, great boogers if you want to, basically it is comfort not health that is the deciding factor here.
