Habit or Hobby?

[BrianC]

Definately a habit, although it is a habit that I really enjoy. I guess it is a bit of a grey area, when I smoked I didn't really enjoy it but it was a habit, so maybe that leaves snus as a bit of a hobby. Really though it is just a habit that I happen to love.

Both... but considering that we all go to a forum to chat about everything in the world of snusdom I think we've all made it a hobby to some extent. I know my wife sees it as a hobby when she opens the freezer and asks me why I need 16 different kinds of snus and why theres no room for her lean cuisine hobby....

Both a hobby and a habit ... more likely a drug addiction .... but comparing to other "drugs" it's harmless ...

I can't really call it a hobby but will do just for the sake of it .... I will probably call snusing a real hobby when I hit 1000 cans in my stash

It's mainly a drug addiction, but I find the variety of flavors and harm-reduction concept to be interesting, so I would conclude it can be considered a hobby in some aspects.

That's how I feel but I can go without for a while. I just enjoy the whole process associated with Snus. Cracking cans, bakin prillas,.......

A gentleman's drug addiction, both habit and hobby. If only other narcotic diversions were so urbane.

Agreed!

both every order I place, all I talk about is the 'highlight' of the order and say that I also got some others to try out. Sometimes, the try out becomes the highlight! Jak's Mint for example.... thought it would be an every now and then because of the strength, but I love it

plus every time I go to my tobacconist, i feel like a kid in a candy store

Hobbies are a choice, and habits can be changed. I'm under no illusions that this is anything more than a nicotine addiction.

[Kstolen23]

But isn't choosing what snus brand you want a choice?

[WickedKitchen]

It's a habit for me. I'm addicted and I know it. My usage patters are definitely habitual rather than times I need nicotine.

This site is a hobby for me though. That's for sure.

[muddyfunkstar]

But isn't choosing what snus brand you want a choice?

Yeah, but my using tobacco isn't a choice anymore. I'm compelled to use it because I'm addicted to nicotine.

I did choose to start smoking when I was 16, and to this day I wish I'd never made that chioce. After various failed attempts to quit in my life, snus is the least harmful method of getting by.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy trying new flavours and all, but I wouldn't be doing the stuff if I didn't have to. If anything I'd rather be smoking full time if it weren't for the health risks.

I'm in agreement with WickedKitchen that this site is a hobby, though.

[Veganpunk]

A little of both. I collect Vinyl and play video games for hobby, but I agree with lx, no matter how many times you've had a can of something, opening a new one is exciting!

[snupy]

It is both habit and hobby.

Snus buzz + Caffeine buzz + Gym buzz = BEST FRIGGIN UPPER IN HISTORY!

[jumissa]

I'd say its both a hobby and a habit. I love it.

+ 1 from here indeed.

Habit (intake of nicotene) is the result received when indulging my Hobby of snusing.
