      Welcome aboard!

      As far as snuff goes.....you might want to check out the Beginner's Guide to Snuff for a basic intro to snuff. You can find it here: LINK

      also snuffhouse.org has a lot of good info on snuff. Many of our members here are members there. So you will probably see some familiar faces

      Regardless..... welcome to the forum!!

              Check with any real tobacco shop near you. Iwan Ries & Co, on Wabash St (downtown) carries Thunder and General. Just about every Speedway and CircleK gas station carries General white portion and mints in a refrigerated display behind the counter. Generalsnus.com website has a store finder, to find their stuff in the US. Best selection is online. I watch for sales that help ease shipping costs.

                      Hi everyone, new to snus and the forum just joined today, I wasn't able to find the Swedish snus however I did manage to find the Camel mint, mellow, frost at my local gas station, I have to admit I like the mint however after reading so many post about the Swedish snus I have ordered 6 cans to try. I ultimate goal is to quit cigarettes since Im now on asthma inhalers so all these years of smoking Im starting to develop emphysema or COPD, so hoping snus will help with my lungs function. So Cheers to all and look forward to meeting new people and reading their post

                          Not smoking will make your lungs work so much better and you will feel so much better over all.....it does take a while for the improvement to show up, for me at the two year mark I could really tell...good luck!

                            Welcome and congratulations on the quest to give up cigarettes.

                            Some of the best advice i have ever heard on this site is......don't stress.....let the snus do its thing.......have a cigarette when you have to and don't sweat it...... the rest of the time use snus.........eventually the snus will win.....

                            Keep us posted, let us know what you try and what you like or don't like.....if you have any questions there are a bunch of great members here who have been down the same road and are very knowledgeable.........they will be glad to help.

                            Cheers

                              Hi, I've been lurking for a while. Freaking hilarious forum, though I'm quite sure I should be offended half the time and can almost smell the testosterone. Quit smoking with snus then went back to ciggies after half my last order was held by Australian customs, last year sometime. Now I need to quit again due to health issues - same said being exacerbated by quitting - hashimotos thyroid - something about auto immunity that is helped by nicotine. Excellent reason for impossible attempts to quit pre-snus. Have 8 packets of minis to tide me over while I work out how to order without breaking the budget.

                                Welcome, lillilz! We've heard Australian customs and taxes can be rough. Let us know how you do.
