Introduction

First of all, I want to say this is probably the most informative site on snus that I've found yet. Thanks to everyone involved for freely sharing all your knowledge!

I have dipped and smoked for 3 yrs (smoked longer than that, bout 5 years) ... trying to quit both! Leaving the military and need to kick both habits! Especially being a 23 year old girl, haha. I used to smoke Marlboro Smooths, and dipped Cope Wintergreen and the occasional fruity Skoal... not sure how that would translate into the snus world. I read the Dipper's Guide to snus and found that it seems like all ex-dippers like flavored vs natural snus at first, so I just went with a Try Out box from Northerner.com. I'm anxiously awaiting it, and hopefully I can contribute once I get the hang of snus

Welcome indeed Ski. You will find that, aside from the huge health advantages of snus over smoking, that a major strength of using it is its "stealth" characteristics. No spitting means a high level of invisibility to the public which might well be a bigger advantage for women than for me. I don't think it's a particularly sexist thing to say that in general women take a bit more pride in their appearances than men and snus does not detract from appearances that to many might make a dipper or smoker seem rather rude, crude, and socially unacceptable in our current heavily anti-tobacco atmosphere. If one doesn't care about all that then fine but if one does then snus is an excellent means of acquiring nicotine on the down low. That the health problems of snus users are enormously fewer than smoking, and rather less than dip, is pure gravy, and tasty gravy at that.

Welcome

Snus is the best way to go if you want nicotine. No one can tell that you Snus and few people even know what it is. I snus at work and I work at a hospital and no one knows :P
