Well, I have been quitting cigs with SNUS for a few years now, and while mostly successful, every attempt had some fails, whether it be cheating with a cig here and there, or returning part time to smoking (I say part time because since i have have begun snusing, I gave up smoking at work, and thats been well over 4 years now). Anyway, last year, while "part time" smoking, I got sick, and it turned into Bronchitis, something that was happening to me every year when I was a heavy smoker, which prompted me to begin quitting. I hadn't gotten bronchitis in several years. I was in bed for a week, on my nebulizer, and I just saw a future of misery.
So last March 2nd (2013), I had my last cig. A week later, my wife had her last cig. So Sunday was 1 year for me (A couple more days to go for my wife), with no cigarettes at all, not even a drag from one. I think I am done forever. I am highly addicted to SNUS, but for now, I have no issue with that. I am proud of going a year. My cig cravings are few, about 1 a month, and it only lasts 5 to 10 minutes and it passes. They are getting easier to deal with.
As far as quitting SNUS, I have no current plans. but eventually it would be cool to get off tobacco for good. But I love my SNUS, and I love that I can do it anywhere.
So anyway, Thank you SNUS and thank you SNUS community. Could not have done it without you. And I am SO much healthier for doing it. Stragenly enough, I also lost 39 lbs, at the same time as quitting cigs (Not done that often huh?) by changing my eating habits. So my lungs are good, and my body is so much better. Long Live SNUS!!!!!
