    Are there other brands of snus that dont feel edgy

    I mainly use General. Well thats all I use.

    If I allow myself unlimited usage, never morr than 2 at once mainly just one, I feel kinda edgy strung out. Hard to eat, relax etc

    Is this just snus and me? Or General tobacco?

    It goes away if I just use half portions.
    To snus or not to snus. That is not the question

    I'm afraid that's just nicotine building up in your system, it's a stimulant ... that's what it does! The problem with snus is that it is far more than just a straight nicotine addiction - it also is a lot to do with enjoying those flavours and having something to play with in your mouth. So this can lead to one's desire for snus in the mouth to be too much nicotine consumption for the body.

    You've got two choices ... be strict with yourself and give yourself a break between snuses ... or go for a low nicotine one like General Silver (do they still make that?) ... or mini portions.

    When I first found my love of the taste and hit of stronger brands of snus - I suffered from this really badly and it led to jitteriness and insomnia ... my solution was to keep the strong snus I loved - but alternate it with a nicotine free one (the one made by Jakobsson's is delicious - and I loved some of the Onico ones too) ... that way I could chain-snus all day long and still get the tastes I love.

      One of the main reasons, I only use strong portions during the day, and switch to regular strength at night and when I'm drinking. Levels the nicotine out for me.

            I never feel edgy using snus. I only feel edgy when I run out of snus.

                  I've come to the conclusion that Knox portions makes me very edgy without really knowing that it's the snus doing it. How are the LD portions? - I've heard they are pretty low on the nicotine and that might help? Are they satisfying tho?

                    The problem with nicotine from snus is that it absorbs very slowly, and stays high in your system for a much longer time than with cigarettes. That's why you feel edgy and jittery if you chain snus, because the nicotine level in your body simply keeps increasing. I have this problem too, but find decreasing intake hard to do.

                      Most normal strength snus are at 8 mg/g. Some slight differences in PH-levels may alter the absorption rate, but in non-strong portions, not by much. Regular brands should be about equal in strength in other words.

                        "At low doses, nicotine potently enhances the actions of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, causing a drug effect typical of those of psychostimulants. At higher doses, nicotine enhances the effect of serotonin and opiate activity, producing a calming, pain-killing effect."

                        If i had to pick, it would be the low dose effects. Does Knox for anyone else seem like too much nicotine? Why do so many people go for the stronger snuses? I feel heavy and slow and unmotivated since i bought my roll

                            I just do two in the morning , then vape the rest of the day , then probably do another 2 in the evening. I prefer to snus but it drives me up the wall if I do to much which is any more than about 4 a day , spaced out from morning to evening .
