snus vs cigarettes (pros and cons)

[dman21]

Being self conscious about the ladies is a very poor excuse for going back to smoking. I went a month without a cigarette then I relapsed and had one. 24 days without a single puff off a cigarette! I'm self conscious about the ladies too. You know what I do.. I just don't use any tobacco or nicotine products when I approach women. Wait till after to get your fix if its a problem. It's what I do and quite frankly it's worked just fine. I watched my grandma die of lung cancer caused by 50 years of a half a pack to pack a day of smoking. 3 months after her death, I gave it up completely and have been more than content with my snus, occasional snuff, and e cig. Besides that, smoking does not impress the ladies. In most cases, it's a turn off! Most attractive women hate cigarettes. So you want to go back to smoking and killing yourself because you perceive it as a better way of getting laid? That is low, man. At least if you have a snus in before you go out and approach said woman, you still get the nicotine satisfaction without smelling like an ashtray.

Snus:
Pros: Portable, more natural/primitive (dont need a lighter), cheapish, lasts long, discreet

Cons: when talking to people you have a wad of tobacco in your upper lip

Cigs:
Pros: more meditative time to breath
Cons: hard to smoke wherever you want, lots of societal disapproval

My gripe is.. im very self conscious smiling sometimes (all the time), round cute girls. Im an add on snuser.. meaning I add on up to 5-6..

Sadly this alone might make me quit snus. Wish theyd make a tobacco gum.

What is an add on snuser??

You put four or six portions in at the same time? Are you using american snus?

lol, its been covered, but really, OP came up with only 2 cons of smoking, and health/death was not one of them? lol.

OP, I have a solution. You say u are an "add on " snuser (whatever that means)? I am interpreting that to mean you add up to 5 or 6 portions in your mouth at a time? Well the solution is to NOT DO THAT when in public. lol. And I will say you are the only one I have ever heard of that does that, so you basically invented your own term of "add on" snuser. I talk to ladies all the time with a portion in my upper lip. I smile, I laugh, and no one ever knows its there. Tip of the day, Don't load 6 portions in your mouth, and try to talk with the ladies. This way, you won't have to go back to smoking, even though there are only 2 cons to smoking.

Ok so you're kind of not going to like this but there is something about the delivery system of smoking cigarettes that is enjoyable and generally better for your mental health than snus. Though snus of course is much better than placebo. It's just smoking cigarettes is not a sustainable habit so though smoking them can be good for a while snus is the winner.

An e cig with some WTA liquid and/or some nasal snuff brings you pretty close to the delivery system of a cig.

Google Aroma e liquid. I'm almost positive they ship worldwide.

I am unsure of this as I am unsure of the original usage, however, regardless of how intended, I know I am an add-on eater and sometimes sleeper.

Lets make it so. I will vap my e-cig while snusing. So I am "adding on" the vapor, to my snus. So I am an add on vaper.

[BadAxe]

Yeah there are more pros to smoking i guess my main "con" to snus was trying to smile at a girl.. i get too self conscious! Cant help it i feel stupid

I like snus, i personally am probably going back to smoking..

The longest living people on earth were frequently smokers.

Wow really? You are gonna ignore the thousands of people per DAY that die from cigs, and hang your hat on a handful of people that lived to an old age and smoked? Really? I mean, being an ex-smoker, I have failed many times and gone back to cigs, but never trying to fool myself into believing it will help me live a long time, and there are no negative health effects. You should really open your eyes and look at the real facts, not ones skewed to what you want it to be.

Again, I do understand ex smokers returning to smoking, we have all done it. Just please don't think that you are not doing damage to yourself by doing so.

I'm smoking cigs at the moment and i tell you, it ain't all it's cracked up to be!

Right before I quit, I switched to just social smoking. Everytime I lit one up after not having one for days, I'd ask myself why the hell I even bothered. Made me feel sick and even the taste made me gag a bit. I realized then that I didn't miss it and was well on my way to becoming an ex smoker and anti smoker.

By the time I had transitioned from full time cigs to full time snus, a period of about a month, I thought that the cigs tasted lousy. We are all different though........
