I'm very pleased for you. Your post reminded of me when I first came to snus.
Congratulations on your epiphany and thank you for recounting my own story back to me. No matter how many times I hear it, it's still amazing to hear.

First post from a newbie here.

Welcome!

I tried SNUS about 2 months ago, got some of the Camel Frost and honestly didn't take to it at all, even though I really wanted too.

None here will hate you for demonstrating good taste.

I've also tried Chantix for about 3 weeks but that stuff put me somewhere between homicidal and suicidal. I remember just sitting at home crying (yes I'm a guy, very not cool) thanks to that medication. Needless to say I ditched that and went back to the cigs.

I wouldn't do Chantix if it was given to me for free.

The thing for me is that cigs have always made me feel like shit. Just totally crappy.

Same here. Once you switch to snus, you won't feel like that any more. But don't tell yourself you can't have another cigarette the rest of your life. Even smoking say 5 a day, instead of 30 or 40, can lead to a VAST improvement in the way you feel. The snus will eventually take over anyway, because it is a superior nicotine hit and delivery system.

(good SNUS, not that overly sweet Camel stuff).

Stick with the snus from the Swedes or the Danes, not the American, so-called snus.

I think mixing the poisons with the good feeling of nicotine is the real trick, and why big tobacco won't change their recipe.

Just flip your snus can over and read the list of ingredients. You are certainly free to choose to only consume those tobacco products that actually provide the list of ingredients.

Someday I'd like to do without altogether, but if I SNUS'd for the rest of my life, that'd be fine.

With snus you have the option to gradually lower your nic dose, should you so choose. If you get into los, or loose snus, you will be able to take smaller amounts over time, to gradually ween yourself off of nicotine completely. Mind you, that's a choice I will never make, because I truly believe those of us who are genetically predisposed to nicotine addiction actually function better with it than without it. However, with snus you do have the option to gradually decrease your dosage level down the road, should you ever decide to give it up.

Congrats on quitting nicotine!
