    If they made nicotine-free snus?

    My first question is "do they sell nicotine free snus?"
    my second question is "what is a purified portion?"
    And my third question is "would u buy snus if it were nicotine free?"

    i quit snus just to see how strong I was addicted

    anyways, I decided I needed to cut down on snus because of the nicotine. I tried one after two weeks this morn and felt drunk haha

    Yes, they sell nicotine free snus, and some of it even tastes good, lol. Now, my first question to you is, why would you want to quit snus? I know it's not really my business, and your decision to quit/cut down is yours, but I personally would never use a nicotine free snus. The reason is that when used in moderation isn't harmful, as long as you don't already have heart problems, etc.

    A purified portion is one that has been subjected to additional processes that render a product that is muuuuch lower in TSNA's than other typical snus, which is already very low, lol. They essentially wash the tobacco to a point that it doesn't even contain nicotine, and then add pharm grade nicotine back into the snus. The portions are smaller and have less nicotine than a regular original portion, but some say that they "hit" harder than original portions. I think the size of the portion is a real distraction to me, personally.

    Good luck in whatever you decide. Hope I answered some of your questions.

      Well thanks for the response. It wasn't an issue about complete quitting, buck cutting back rather

      I feel that I don't want to be using snus for the pure purpose that cigarette smokers keep smoking, to satisfy thier addiction

      And I wanted to see how much of a "slave" to my snus I was. But regardless, could you link me to the place where they sell nicotine-free snus?

        I thought northerner used to sell it but i just checked and dont see it listed on there. Something i personally tried when attempting to quite dip was something called absolut snus. was a terrible hockey puck of coffee grinds all molded together. Learned how to "bake" and make a "prilla" but it was awful and either rock hard or straight mud in the can. If youre looking for nicotine free snus i'd definitely go with the portion. Nothing really holds well in your mouth unless its actually tobacco (I'm sure theres some kind of joke about pp in that last sentence)

          try snuscentral.com or buysnus.com....not sure if they even carry it anymore. I remember being a slave to cigarettes, and the FIRST thing that I needed in the morning was a smoke. Now, with snus, it's not that way...I frequently wake up and realize a few hours into my day, that I haven't had nicotine. Sure, I'm still addicted to nicotine, but it's not the same feeling with this addiction. Hell, today I left the house and didn't take my snus, and initially I freaked out for a second...then just went on with my plans. No sweat. That being said, when I got home...that Thunder Original was yummy ;-)

              Well part of the issue is that I feel a little reliant on snus. I have quit taking my ADHD medication completely. I randomly and impulsively bought a can of general mint snus at gas station. It was love at first portion. I felt great, tasted great. And I loved that burn I got when I put it in my mouth
              i started snusing after breakfast, in class occasionally. Not really addicted to it. But a nice way to unwind in class and still pay aattention.
              it sounds funny but I started to realize that snus practically cured my ADHD temporarily. Better than my medication! Lol. My math class started to become easier to follow, and I eventually pulled off an A. I didn't even think I was gonna pass haha. Math is my worst susubject!
              That brings me to now. I snus on the regular, but I almost feel that once the buzz goes away, so will snus' medication value so to speak. I love snus regardless, but cig smokers r almost always in nicotine withdrawal. So the oringal value that nicotine gave me will be gone after a wwhile
              I wish I could enjoy snus and have no tolerance. But I can't haven cake and eat it too. Sorry for the spelling errors I'm typing this on my phone

                I've tried some called "grinds" which is basically fine ground flavored coffee in a portion..
                It's pretty good but I would assume you could use regular espresso or something in that case as Los haha.
