It really frightens me how much some of you snus. Despite a lesser risk to your health overuse of ANY drug is gonna cause problems. Maybe it's the Catholic in me, but I encourage all of you to be temperate in your snus use, and here's why.
Consider the following regarding Nicotine and it's effects on your body and mind. Taken from erowid.org the following graph gives you an idea of how long nicotine reacts with your body.
Oral Nicotine Dosages
Light .5 - 2 mg
Common 1 - 4 mg
Strong 2 - 6 mg
Onset : 2 - 15 minutes
Duration : 1 - 2 hours
Normal After Effects : 3 - 6 hours
In other words, the MOMENT you spit out that extra stark portion and reach for anothrr....there is STILL nicotine in your blood steam, influencing your mind and body. The "high" so to speak is still occurring up to 2 hours after your portion exited your mouth.
So where's the benifit? Obviously you are not feeling satisfied when you chain snus....you have just fed your bodies desire for the drug. I'm gonna argue that there is no real point to chain snusing, especially when some of you are already using extra strong varieties. For the sake of your gums, your wallet, the environment, and your own enjoyment of snus wait at LEAST and hour or two in between portions.
You know that magic you get in the morning drinking some coffee and throwing in the first snus of the day? Imagine that same feeling being captured with each portion later on in the day with a mild amount of moderation. And should you ever want to quit for whatever the reason......I promise you double barreling stark road is an extremely hellish journey compared to the guy who uses tobacco like a dignified adult .
