Hey, Finally decided to chip in after reading these forums for a while now.
I decided to give snus a try a few weeks ago after discovering it a few months back. I was smoking roughly a pack a day for around 4 years or so. After doing some research, I placed my first order about 3 weeks ago. I received 4 cans on 12/21/10 and have not looked back. Interestingly enough I had no need or urge to quit smoking, although it was getting pretty costly (~$175 a month). Since I tried the first portion I have completely stopped smoking, not even wanting to. On top of the harm reduction, I'm saving more than half of what I would normal spend on smokes. Plus I can use snus at work. Snus is truly amazing.
While it's only been the 3rd week since I've stopped smoking, I have noticed quite a change in my health, both mentally and physically. I'm curious what others reactions to switching from cigarettes to snus has been. The only thing bad I have noticed was for the first week or so I got slightly irritable, not in the way I acted, but its almost as though I could tell I was about to get upset when I have no real reason to, which would normally end with me grabbing a smoke to chill out when I smoked. While this could be from stress, I'm wondering if it could have anything to do with me not smoking anymore. I also felt a bit lethargic a few days after the first week of the transition. Switching to stronger portions regularly seems to have helped this as regular portions just didn't seem to be enough for me at the beginning. Since then these issues seem to be gone now, but I was wondering if anyone else has had a somewhat similar reaction.
Anyways since quitting I've made 3 orders total, and have began trying different kinds as well as stock piling my favorites. Currently I'm sitting on a stash of Skruf stark, General Long stark, and Thunder Frosted Long stark, using the general and thunder mostly for work as they are discrete, then using Skruf most of the time outside of work. Got some other random assortment of snus in the fridge as well, though these have been my go-to portions so far. I've also been dabbling in Los now and love it. Usually when I'm at home I use Los and portions when I'm out running around.
Just thought I'd share my experience with the transition from smoking to snus as it has been an amazing one. I can't say enough good things about snus, I'm loving it. Looking forward to reading more and posting on the forum.
