    One week of not smoking here. Could not be happier. It's nice and liberating to be coughing the crap out of my lungs that has been there the last 6 years.

      I have now been cigarette-free for a year and a half. I smoked a pack a day for five years. Snus helped me quit cigarettes immediately.

      Cigars are an occasional enjoyment, but I smoke them very irregularly; sometimes four or five in a month, and sometimes no cigars for several months on end. I never crave for a cigar, and I simply smoke them with my friends as a hobby.

        Well congratulations! That's great news. Thanks for posting and welcome to Snuson.

          No cigarettes for four weeks now, thanks to snus.

          I switched from cigarettes to snus gradually. It took about a month for me.

          I know four weeks isn't very long, but I don't think I'll be going back to smoking. It seems really nasty to me now. And I am so very relieved to not smoke or care about it any more.

          I love snus. Love it.

            Stopped smoking for the past 2-3 weeks. Stocked up on 2-3 cans, waited until it was rainy weekend and I did not want to go the shop. Was fine after 24 hours, did sleep for 12 of it though.

              Until a month ago I still had problems with smoking at parties or when drinking. I would always get severe cravings, and would bum a cig or buy a pack as soon as it struck.

              However, now I have been smoke-free for four weeks, and since it's summer, I've been drinking quite a lot without any problems what so ever. What finally worked for me was vaping during times of a craving. Then I still get the social aspect of smoking, and it's a great conversation starter. I can't tell you how many people who have asked me about it since I started using it for real.

              So yeah, for me, snus and vaping is the ultimate cigarette craving killer while out drinking. On regular days, I don't have a craving for smokes what so ever, but I still vape because it's delicious.

              One good thing I've noticed when you quit smoking is that the longer you go without doing it, the more distant the thought of giving in becomes. I now feel absolutely NO urge to inhale toxic smoke anymore. NONE. Even when intoxicated to the point where making bad decisions becomes easier.

                      Just think if your government made it easier then you might have discovered snus sooner...

                        It's a sad state of affairs,Ansel.I can't risk ordering more than a few cans at a time and I have the distinct impression that the limitations are related to weight rather than actual numbers of cans ordered,but I could be wrong.
                        Have to say that I'm grateful for the fact that snus is not on the banned imports list.

                          Smoked for over 10 years, about 1 pack daily. After trying Snus about a year ago, it took me exactly 4 days to completly cease it and i`ve never smoked one cigarette again. Lung health is greatly improved, i don`t stink anymore, my apartment doesn`t stink anymore, there`s no need to go outside when it`s freezing just to take a smoke. What can i say? Life without cigarettes is awesome...The only downside of Snus is the extreme heartburn it gives me from time to time. But well, everything is better than smoking.

                            I was a pack a day guy for about 10-15 years, I've tried patches, ecig, I quit once with dip but went back to smoking. I never thought when a co worker handed me a camel snus that I would quit smoking but once I looked up snus online and found that I could buy general locally my smoking days were over, took about a week to get down to zero cigs but I've done it, smoke free for 2 weeks! Snus all day and ecig at bed time and I'm fine.

                            I just got my first order from Sweden and am now enjoying experiencing all the different things out there, general is great but it's nice to have some veriety in the freezer!

                            Never could have quit without snus, I've tried.

                              After 3 days of snusing I had a drag of a cigarette and it tasted so bad. Walked off smiling knowing I've finally quit after 10 years of trying. Dont have to worry about relapsing when drinking. Found a better vice. Life is easier and I can now **** and get up the stairs better!

                                I was a pack a day smoker for years and have a big love for tobacco. 4 months ago I quit with vaping but found it too artificial for my taste so I gave swedish snus a try. Haven't smoked for 3 months and have no desire to smoke ever again. Long live snus!
