How Much do you Snus?

[stubby2]

5-6 grams a day on average, a mixture of minis and regular, all regular strength. No sterks for me. I guess that puts me in the lower end of snus use.

That goes along with the same way I smoked. Never a heavy smoker but consistent for a very long time.

If I just stuck to one can for a day, I probably use just under a can of lös or maybe 15-20 portions a day. Might seem high, but keep in mind I'm an insomniac. I have issues sleeping whether or not I have nicotine in my system, but if I need to stay up, the nicotine helps me keep going the next day after a sleepless night. I actually use fewer portions, but that's mostly because I can typically leave them in for much longer.

Snus usege

After being a Newport 100 smoker for over ten years. I switched to snus over a year ago. I thought about going back to skoal portions, then I remember what it did to my gums after 6 months of use. After some research I discovered snus!! I thought WHAT!!! No spitting, less harmful, more discreet. I knew I found what I was looking for

I only use GR#2. When I first started, I was using about 3/4 of a can a day. Over time I got down to half a can a day. Now I'm just below half a can a day. My goal next month is to use only 6 portions a day.

I usually keep it in my mouth anywhere from 30 to 45min.


Stay Real!!!

I wonder how many snus users use less the longer they are away from cigarettes.

My usage is slightly lower now, almost 3 years into it. But my usage is as much about habits as about maintaining whatever nicotine levels. If I was just using for the nicotine, and I timed it right, would maybe use half of what I do

i use about 5 portions or prises a day. average pris size is 2.5 clicks. average duration in my mouth is about an hour. some days ill use only like 2 sneese. some days 6 or 7.

5-10 portions a day, mix of regular whites and minis.

I completely agree, snus is habit-forming in the same aspect as cigarettes. The feeling of the snus in your mouth begins to feel normal, while not having snus in feels odd. I snus like clockwork, just like when I smoked cigarettes. At least this habit is less harmful than my previous one.

This brings up another good point. While snus replaces the nicotine from cigarettes, it also replaces the ritualistic part. The nicotine patch never worked for me because it requires nothing more than slapping on a foul-smelling band-aid every 24 hours. Nicotine gum is just unenjoyable; not to mention the sore jaw after chewing a stiff piece of gum.

I bet the ladies love you for that. Just kidding I do the same thing, but I met my girl when I was your age (12 years ago). I can't gross her out anymore with things I do, just the things I say

[texasmade]

idk about what i do with my snus...but the tongue is another story completely :lol:

[AtreyuKun]

I usually have one on the way to work at 7. I'll pop a new one in around 8:30. I'll a break at around 9:30 then pop another one in about 9:30 or so.
I'll keep it in for about an hour and a half, then pop one back in after lunch about 12. Another one at 2 then one on the way home. One after dinner.
So what's that? About 6? Sounds about right.

I use about a can a day. I can't say that I use less but I have backed off the sterks and maxis and the daily count hasn't increased in over a year.

Atrye- that's about what I do, but usually 2 after dinner. I think I average 8 a day.... maybe 6 or 7. Usually 2 before lunch, 2, maybe 3 after lunch, and 2, sometimes 3 after dinner, depends if it's a weekend or how late I stay up. Usually keep them in an hour and a half averaging.
