Post your experiance here if snus helped you to quit smoking

[SnusoMatic]

No you didn't :P

You were an addict :P

There's nothing fancy to like in cigarettes they taste so horrible.

No. I really liked to smoke. If smoking was not bad for my health i would smoke now. They tasted great to me. My favorite brand was camel non-filters.

I replied to this thread on 05-30-2010 and my answer was yes, 2 packs a day for 18 years. It's been 2 years since I have stopped smoking cigs. I do smoke 2-3 cigars a week though, but that has nothing to do with being addicted. To me cigarettes = heroin/crack addicts, cigars = wine connoisseur. But thats just my opinion.

I haven't had a cigarette since.... Yesterday - but that's just 'cause I went to some crappy town and partied and yeah it happens.. But up until yesterday it was no cig for a week and no bad desire for one!
Cigarettes have started making me feel sort of disgusting by now :P

Haven't had a smoke in over a year. Last one was in June 2010.

It's been 4 days so far, and so good!

Have been smoking for 15 or 16 years. Came to Sweden 6 weeks ago and tobacco is awefull here and way to expensive. Never liked 'normal' cigarettes, allways rolled them myself.
And then I found out about snus. Hadn't heard of it before. So bought one can and I liked it. So bought some more snus and didn't bought tobacco. I'm only visiting a town once a month or so, so I have no choice now. Can't roll any cigs, but have lots of snus instead. And so far (7 days now) I don't have any problems at all with quitting smoking.

Congratulations, and best of luck!
I think a lot of here that are new to snusing also came from cigarettes.
I'm currently on what must be my 2nd month of not smoking. Tho I had only been smoking for 3 years.
So where did you move from?

[Hydroxine]

Smokefree since April and not going back!

[6pieceperal]

one long week today smoke free. smoked for almost 30 years. screw cigarettes

[shag1952]

yup, finally. It took almost a year but the snus took over, it's been 6 weeks and no smoking! My wife was able to quit too, she did it cold turkey...........

[Frohling]

Been smoking for 40 years. Thanks to snus I have been smokeless for almost 3 years.

[mkerker]

Smoked for 42 years. Quit with the help of snus in one week. Been smoke free for 13 weeks now.

[Fazer]

Smoked for about 24 years, ish. Completely smoke free for around 6 years now. I was using NRT and i was still in withdrawal, i was an irrational, moody, intolerable prick using NRT, like dealing with a pregnant woman. I had a snus, 10 minutes later i was back to normal, the rest is history ...thanks Sweden!!

[Mayhart]

Moving to Sweden made me stop smoking :P .. Unlimited Snus! Yay. Once i moved back to my homecountry i started smoking again, but decided to say Yuck Fou to EU and import my snus from outside Europe and now im smoke free again.

[squeezyjohn]

Yes - snus stopped me from smoking.

Tried it in Sep 07 in Norway - imported some from BuySnus in Nov 07 and within a month was down to one to three cigarettes a day. Gave up properly at the beginning of 08 and haven't looked back since 4 years later.

Sure - I have had the odd cigarette - but the thing with converting to snus is that it just doesn't matter - the nicotine levels with snus are so much higher that even if you have the odd one it doesn't give you that "ahhhhhhh!" factor to the cigarette.

I have probably smoked 20 cigarettes since 2008 as opposed to 20 a day for 4 years.

That is a good thing!
