Not killing cigarette cravings..

[Christi]

You knw, I can't wait to order some chocolate snuff on monday. Unfortunately I'm internetless at home and only have this stupid smartphone to browse, so not as good, and can't really order online on it either (boo!) I woke up this morning wanting to try it again, so here I go back to gawith apricot and start my day. If I'm lucky, my mail man will have stuff for me today, if not monday it it is.

I got some Dholakia swiss chocolate, which is awesome, and I mixed it in a bullet with some WoW coffee bite and it is GREAT! Goes really well with Offroad Choc/Van snus too. You should try that.

. I'm now reaching a point where I may decide not to buy any more cigarettes, and so to speak reach the mature "Sage stage."

I still buy cigarettes every once in a while. But doubt I have done it more than once this last year. But if I want to, I will. That is the whole reason I do snus.

But you are right, over 3 years, the moments when I still really "want" one are fewer and fewer. At one time, long motorcycle rides made me smoke, now no more. So for me, smoky bars are probably the only time a craving still, and only occasionally now, hits.

My friend Joe I see every month or so. He is 70, still rides, I just always have a smoke with him. It is what we do. Not sure the cigarettes is the point but I sure do enjoy it every time. And a few other friends I see occasionally who smoke, I will still always share a smoke with them. And I never want to stop that.

But true cravings?? 3+ years in?? Very, very rare now.

I tell you what seems to do good with those nick cravings, snuff.

^^I'm on board with that. Snuff is great for those periodic nervous cravings. Snuff is a really strong sensation, just like cigs, where snus is more of a mellow type of maintenance thing. I never feel a nicotine craving with regards to the sticks, only a craving to have some tobacco kick me in the face. I find that if I have even the lightest notion to smoke, shoving a bunch of menthol snuff up my nose kills it (smoked kools(because I am cool)).

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking a moment and echoing what I have said. As some of you know, I have been giving that same advice for years, but seems so hard for newbies to accept. So all of you that have gone through same and spoken up, thank you!! Best part of this forum. :wink:

echo, echo...lol

he's exactly right. I used sterks and Ekstra Sterks exclusively the first month that I was "quitting". As time passed, I worked in more and more regular portions through the day, and only used sterks and ES when a craving hit.

Guess now I use 2-3 Ekstra sterks a day, and 3 portions and a couple pris of los. I'm diggin where I'm at for now...

Its pretty much about the smoking habit. I've been using snus regularly now about years and I dont even think to smoke. Sometimes I can smoke one or two cigarettes but at the normal weekdays I ONLY use snus. I,ve been even going to hate the smoke smell especially on situations when people smoke a lot and lots of smoke. Its just about to getting used it.
