    Yes, been smoke-free for about 7-8 months now.

    I actually began snusing back in 07/08, but once PACT hit I was so pissed at the price increase that I just went back to smoking. Between 2008 and 2010, I think there were two instances that I stopped smoking for a good two or three months and then went back to smoking. Finally, last year while repeatedly making runs outside to smoke from my warm office, I decided that it was enough. Made an order and haven't looked back since. Cigarettes are so much more freakin' expensive that it's just not worth it anymore, snus is so much more enjoyable for me.

      Amazing!! Congratulations to all of you. 136 replies. Seeing so many members quit smoking means a lot to me. Snus and SnusOn helping to save lives. Thats wonderfull.
      Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





      I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

        I stopped smoking snus....does that count? The original portions kept wetting the toilet paper I was rolling them in and it made it hard to light...so I just went back to upper lipping them ;-)

          I think you need to spend some time repenting in the Snuson confessional.

              Woohoo! Group hug. I know a fantastic yoghurt knitting therapy centre we could all go down to later on to wallow in our own smugness if you feel like it.

                    I quit cigs in April 2009 using an e-cig for 3 months, then switched to snus because vaping was too high maintenance. I CAN'T go back to cigs now, even if I wanted to. On those rare times when I do bum a cig, I have a snus immediately after. My brain/habit/addiction now believes cigs are an inferior method of acquiring nicotine. Additionally, I am in the gym every day and could never do what I do with smoke on my lungs.

                      I smoked for I think about 2 or 3 years
                      Not daily but maybe a pack a week
                      What made it harder was every girl I was with this time was a hardcore smoker and I never really got in touch with snus until my band found a new drummer and he was snusing at every rehearsal! So one day when I was gonna jump out the window unto the ceiling and have a smoke after rehearsing he asked me if I wanted a snus instead and I thought to myself why the **** not
                      This was a GR white portion! I instantly thought to myself ''what the ****, this actually tastes pretty good, cigarettes haven't tasted good in years for me'' and that was when I decided to quit. Next day I bought my first can and threw away my cigarettes. This was about a year ago, been snusing ever since increasing the pace from a can a week to 2 or 3 cans a week.
                      As opposed to cigs, snus doesn't leave the bitter after taste. I mean both literal and psychological, after smoking I always had the ''damn, that's not good for me'' feeling. Never with snus! Thank god for these little pouches of heaven.

                        cigarettes haven't tasted good in years for me
                        same feeling here, they actually tasted awful, especially that with my clogged sinuses most of the times I had "almost" no taste to cigarettes

                        I've quit them on and off

                        but definitely snus cuts the cravings (or dip)

                        both are much much safer too

                          Smoked ~15 cigs/day for 16 years, tried snus last November (2011), haven't smoked a cig since December. Still a slave to nicotine, though. Swedish salt licks FTW!

                              Awesome! Snus definitely makes life more enjoyable. Nothing greater than getting your nic hit while watching a movie or at shopping.
