recommend snus for light cig smoker?

[FireDragon1138]

What snus would you recommend for a cigarette smoker that smokes 15-20 light cigarettes a day (I smoke 305's or Senecas, equivalent in strength to Marlboro Light)? Mini portions would be OK, but I'm also willing to try full size portions, even loose snus.

Years ago I smoked and quit using General snus but it was way, way too strong. I stuck with it because that's all I had but I ended up with a higher level of nicotine addiction. I eventually quit with the pat,h but now I'm back to smoking, but I can no longer tolerate so much nicotine as I did when I was younger.

I do vaping too but I'm finding that isn't satisfying my tobacco cravings. Nicotine alone doesn't work for me so well, it's only good for quitting (which I don't want to do, just get away from cigarettes).

I've been using small pinches of dip to cut down my cigarette smoking . Currently using Skoal or Timber Wolf long cut. I don't usually have to spit and it does cut down how much I smoke (I don't upper-deck it either, just have never needed to spit with dip). But I'd like to get back into snus.

Skoal Bandits would probably be perfect for me but they are extremely hard to find now days and due to the PACT act, hard to mail-order.

Maybe something like mocha maple black mini's? Not a ton of nicotine and a good flavor. General might still make general silver which is a reduced amount of nicotine.

I would use an 8mg snus. (personally i recommend Skruf)

I don't think smoking light cigarettes makes much difference as you still smoke 15 to 20 which is a fair amount.

8 mg snus or you lose......you need nicotine.

Northerner mini portions imo are the best option for smokers looking to quit. Avail in 3mg and 6mg. The 6mg hits like an 8mg if not higher. These are closest to Skoal Bandits but offer so much more.

I don't get on with the purified portions... i feel like i'm missing something on them. I still say 8mg for the win.

I started with 8mg snus and personally the 6mg Northerner hits harder/faster especially the Wintergreen for some reason then any 8mg regualr portion. Others, have said the same on this forum. I feel I am missing nothing from a Vitamin N perspective with a Northerner vs 8mg regular portion. Again for a smoker moving to snus I think Northerners are the best first step. For a dipper I would recommend a portion or los, as similar as possible to there current dip. I am sending a buddy of mine who dips cope some Islay. I like Northerners for my go to especially work, as I chain and at home wife is semi anti. In the evening before bed or out for drinks, I love to bottom lip a regular portion.
