The snus withdrawal

[Polluted]

The only similarities between smoking and snus is the come from the same plant & contain nicotine, Snus deliverers the nicotine slower but for longer instead of the spikes and troughs from smoking, theres no hand to mouth, no throat hit, different smell, less social & contains a lot less impurities that add to addiction, nicotine is a tiny part of smoking addiction.

saying that if you feel Snus is addiction you can do without, all the best quitting, me I like my harmless stimulants.

You people are insane. I can't believe how hard all of you, (myself included) over rationalize our tobacco usage (even with blatant lies or half truths). It's creepy to watch from a clear head. Even Swedish Match admits that their own product is on par with ciggarete in terms of addiction FROM THEIR OWN STUDIES!

Nice try though, but sadly all those other byproducts of combustion are not some "super hook" which makes you more addicted. What a joke.

Day 6 was the final day of agony. I was mood swingy but mainly unresponsive. I seriously went to mass at Church and the power went out mid way through. It startled the hell out of everyone but I was so out of it I didn't blink an eye. I couldn't have care less, it could had been an earthquake.

Day 7 and on are pointless for me to write about. There are some mild effects but the worst is over and I'm able to function and go on about my life. This is what a 8 regular portion a day nicotine withdrawal looks like for a 150 lb male. At least on my end.

For those who wish to quit go for it! It sucks and is a serious psychological game....but it's worth it. Your throat will feel better, your wallet will be fuller, and you can have 1 less thing to worry about in terms of negative impacts on oral health (however small or large they may be to you).

Good luck and stick with it. Do not believe anything your brain is telling you for that crummy week. Just let it burn off and be done with it. And remember you have to WANT to quit.

Bye snuson. Great community, and if you are gonna use tobacco this is probably the one to use. But I'm done until I actually NEED tobacco to keep myself grounded. Like if I serve in Iraq and all my buddies are slaughtered or my wife of 25 years leaves me for the pool boy. Something like that.

or my wife of 25 years leaves me for the pool boy.

I'll take the under.

[Edit: I apologize for the imprecision. I was referring only to the timeframe for upcoming marriage to fail, NOT to the likelihood that he would, at some point, have a pool boy.]

Best of luck to you brother and congratulations on quitting!

I hope no reader of this site leaves with the impression that snus is not addictive. It is and if you are not adicted I think we all would encourage you to think long and hard about picking up a habit.

That said I also hope folks who read the site do not leave thinking that all addictions are the same.....they are not........it matters a great deal how you obtain nicotine.....and so if you are a smoker we would encourage you to think long and hard about trying snus if you have not been able to quit cigarettes.... Because at the end of the day of all the vices out there snus is really one of the most benign.

Regardless a big congratulations to polluted....I hope threads like this will help people who want to down right quit......I also hope it will remind the rest of us why we enjoy snus and can enjoy it with a much greater peace of mind
