Tips for quitting smoking using snus?

[Mill]

A group of us all started using snus around the same time with a 100% success rate.

The comments above are all valid....make sure you have a variety of snus and load up on the stark, sterk, extreme, etc. Just don't think about cigs but also don't worry about them either as the snus will win. Will take from a few weeks to months but you will gradually smoke less and less and eventually none.

The stronger the snus the less urge to light up!

Good luck!

You've been smoking for more than 10 years. it's a habit that's not easy to drop immediatly specially after meals and coffee.
Don't be very hurried about it. Keep snusing and eventually you'll find yourself smoking less and less per day.
14 hours without smoking is already an achievement. Just don't quit snusing. And if you really want to quit smoking just put a snus in when that urge to smoke appears.

I started snusing because there were just too many times that I couldn't smoke (2 pk a day for 26 years) but the more I snused the less I needed a cig so I just kept snusing. Now been 2 years 4 months since my last cig (I do still smoke in my dreams apparently though, guess Northerner doesn't ship to dreamworld lol)

Have an E-cig (electronic cigarette) on standby for when you need to feel that "smoke" going into your lungs and use snus for your constant daily fix.

Or try this: Google lung cancer, read all about it.
Then: Google chemotherapy and radiation treatment, read all about them.

I haven't had a cigarette in a year and a half (wow can't believe it's been that long) and I still crave one at times. E-cigs and Snus together work fantastically well. If not, remember what you have read about Lung cancer, throat cancer, chemotherapy, etc. etc.

It's a struggle but keep at it and you will be very glad you did when you get those extra 20 or more years of life.

BTW: I have a very very addictive personality, smoked for 15 years (am now 28) and have (so far) successfully quit. so If I can do it ANYBODY can. Just takes some will power and desire with a lot of help from other sources of nicotine that are much much less harmfull.

I am OK with no smoking at all during day but I am beer drinker . As soon as beer is in my hands I want cigaret badly. Is any body else has same problem? How did you fight this?

You know I'll be honest, when I drink I may have an occasional cigarette.
And I don't feel bad about that at all.
As I've said before - when I first started, I craved a cig after every snus. Eventually I got to where I craved a snus after every cig - which led to me quitting.
When I drink, I may have a smoke, but I don't feel bad about that because I have beaten my cig addiction and go back to my regular life and not touch a cig until the next time I drink (which is very, very rarely).

Even if you slip and smoke when you drink, don't feel bad.

I have had somewhat the same problem in the past couple of days.. But basically I just had to beat it once and *poof* that weird ol' craving disappeared.
I think it's basically about making the brain stop associating alcohol with cigarettes. And if you are lucky you can find some snus that goes great with your favorite beer and suddenly you will want snus with your beer instead. Basically it's about finding the best substitute for your cigarettes. It might take a while, but it truly works wonders.

You could also throw some nasal snuff into the equation. A fine, dry snuff will hit like a cigarette........but it takes practice.......

Hit the snuff to get the urgent craving out of the way, throw in a portion and it is all good.

Plus.....snuff is cheap as shit.......for now.

AFAIK alcohol reduces nicotine absorption rate. What I do is use a slightly stronger snus each time I have a drink. So first drink just a little stronger and up a bit for each drink. Finish the night with ES or Extreme. Works for me

Using a fleshlight on occasion to relieve stress really takes the edge off of those nicotine cravings. My recommendation is to buy several of them and leave them around different places like your glovebox so you will always have one handy.

Dont forget to buy scented lotions.. Go to Bath and body works for example and pick up very feminine scents. Apply desired amount. Creates the illusion of being with a good smelling woman. Closing your eyes will add to the effect.

The best part is that you can use a fleshlight anywhere. The bathroom stall at a public building, while waiting in the parking lot at the shopping mall and even under the table while you are eating dinner with family.
