Hey! I started snusing about 6 months ago. Before snus my only tobacco use consisted of an occasional cigar. As a student, for financial reasons I recently quit snus. The first few days I felt normal, and then at about 5 days without nicotine I started feeling buzzed in the evening, about how you feel after a couple shots of gin or half a bottle of wine. At about a week and a half I began feeling nauseated constantly. Now at a month off snus I feel fine, or rather, as crappy as I did before starting snus.
So I'm wondering, is it worth picking up the habit again? At first, snus made me feel like a new man. I was literally in heaven for a couple weeks. I could focus better, primarily, and life just seemed brighter and more pleasurable. Obviously this has to do with nicotine's effects on the pleasure pathways in the brain. As I understand it, nicotine lowers the threshold for pleasure.
If I go back on snus, will those "good" effects last? Or will they fade away as tolerance builds? I seriously can't judge this for myself after only 6 months on and one month off. Thank you for any advice!
