Increase the strength or lower useage?

[Belatorius]

So like in my previous post, I am an ex smoker (Id like to think that) and Iv been using snus for the last 2-3 weeks and its helping a lot. But I notice when I do use snus, Its more of a, content feeling. Like, I could use more, but its not needed. Im aiming to "satisfy" my nicotine needs but I dont wanna go over board. A pack of smokes would last me 2-3 days (started to smoke more before i used snus) So would it be better to increase the dosage? Or wing off nicotine therefor a greater effect? Using 8mg portions at the moment. Inputs welcomed

Sounds like you have a good plan. I don't believe it would hurt to use more 8 mg portions or to use a few sterks a day. Most snusers have an easy time of tapering back down to regular strength portions.

whatever it takes to stay off the smokes and complete your transition to 100% snus.

I quit smoking 2 days ago with snus and like you am thinking about the balancing act.

Honestly use it as you need it. I've done about 7 portions today to get by and didn't once think about a smoke. I use 8 and 14mg (maybe they are 16?).my order coming in is all 8.

I would also try to enjoy it, if your going to use something enjoy it. Smoking was never enjoyable to me, but sucked into it as a result of my own stupidity and it took a strangle hold of me.

Snus seems like I might be able to enjoy it like I used to with a cigar.

Yes, that is the key difference with snus it is enjoyable and you don't always feel like you are jonesing, plus you will find your breathing, sinuses, sleep, etc are greatly improved.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. If it aint broke don't fix it and if you feel comfortable and happy moving away from cigarettes
then that is all that matters. Use as much snus as you like ,or as little
