Hello all ..... New guy here

[Inigo Montoya]

Browsing the internet a couple of weeks ago and came upon this site after searching for dip and have been reading up on snus every since. Amazing that there is a "safer" way to sustain a nicotine habit.

Long time user of Copenhagen Longcut and worry about the detrimental side effects of using this product. Have cut back from a can and a half a day to under half a can a day, but still feel the risk is to great. I like my jaw where it currently is, but I also love my vitamin N.

Short of totally giving up the habit is this honestly the way to go ?

Blood pressure, pancreatic cancer, what other negatives follow this product ?

Best packet and nicotine level to start out with ?

Any good recommendations on brands / flavors ?

Thanks for reading, looking forward to your responses.

Welcome to the Forum!!! I will keep my mouth shut on your questions, there are many others better qualified to answer them.
You are on the right Tract. Track though. Happy Snusing, Search the threads and You will learn a lot.

Yes by far much safer. Forget about the negatives, and they are indeed tiny, because snus is significantly safer than dip and of course wildly safer than smoking. Plenty of studies back this up consequently the big ugly FDA warnings can be entirely ignored. Really the best way to find out what others think about various brands and versions is to go to the snus reviews section of the forum and spend a few hours trolling through it.

Read through the dipper's guide to snus here in the newbie section. Great info....more than any one post could sum up....made by people who switched from dip.

Welcome to snuson!

Gum recession is another negative, and so is leukoplakia, and one guy got mouth cancer (snus has been used 200 years, he is the only one)
I'd suggest General white and general original for your first time, it is what converted me.

and also, welcome to the forum!

With your need for a high does of Vitamin N i would suggest s strong Los. I love dipping, but i love snus more! Seriously you will get a buzz from this stuff man. Nothing comes close to the Copenhagen flavor. I would stick with mild tobacco flavors. Like odens extra strong. Too bad Ettan or Grov don't have a strong Los alternative, but i would also get a can of each.

As mentioned Dog made quite a nice thread here, the dippers guide.

Enjoy and happy snusing!

OK I must be the only one here not getting it. It's OK though. I googled that name and some stuff about the Princess Bride came up. Not really into reading about the Princess Bride tonight so I will check it out later.

+1 Your not the only one.... I don't get it either... But hell! I never do...LOL

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Been doing a lot of research, but studies seem to be funded by tobacco companies or anti tobacco zealots, hard to know what to believe. One thing for sure is it seems far less harmful than the American version I currently use.

Does anybody have a link to the guy that got cancer from snus use? I wasn't able to find it.

I will look into general white portions and original. Through looking around I have also became interested in Jackobsen Ice Fruit and General Onyx. Looking forward to trying them also.

So does anyone here know where you can get your hands on snus in Idaho?
It seems that we are listed as a prohibited state to ship to?

As far as Inigo Montoya, he was just one of my favorite characters from a childhood movie which some of you have already named, "Princess Bride". Truly an American classic movie and if you have a strange sense of humor I would recommend it. Inigo is on a quest to kill six fingers, the man who killed his father, and is constantly using the phrase "Hello my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father now prepare to die."

Banned states are IA, MA and SD...
Northerner/getsnus allow Idaho in their addresses drop-down menu so you're okay.
