Snus and Ex-Smoker Thread

[zmanzero]

kids, i'm pretty old. and i smoked cigarettes for a long time. but i quit. and i was a chain smoker for 38 years. this snus is getting me through it. lookit, i really do drink too much, but it's BEER! soo... to make a long story short...

snus kicks ass!

this shit kicks ass! friends were over earlier, we partied, some left, when only one was around he wanted his cigs! he couldn't find them, it was weird watching the panic attack. the ****er was going crazy for a cig! he had left them at the neighbor's house... he went and got them.

the point, i suppose, is snus kicks ass.

but the point of this thread is for ex-smokers. are you an ex-smoker that snus has kicked your ass on? because this kicks. this is the greatest invention since the wheel of cigarettes... but i drink too much...

if this subject has already been covered here, i apologize. it was just weird watching someone do what i used to do. when i sober up i'll edit and stuff.

oh. by the way. michael jackson died today. sure, he was warped, but think about it. the weight he had from a kid.

LMAO! Snus is wonderful! I don't even have the slightest craving for a cig, and I smoked for 16 years.

BTW, do you drink too much? 8)

[zmanzero]

it's BEER DAMMIT!!! and i got michael jackson in before you caught me in an edit!!! :P

[Badfish74]

So what's your poison? Mine was Miller High Life bottle. Beer ain't that bad, at least you're not homeless and begging for change to buy a bottle of Thunderbird!

There's a heap worse things you could be doing! 8)

[zmanzero]

uhh... badfish? i already done 'em. the bad things . beer is bush light my friend, i drink lone star bock when i'm in public and need to slow down.

[TheOneandOnly]

I smoked for 8 years, quit a month ago.. All thanks to Snus!

[Badfish74]

Haven't we all...the bad things that is! Busch light is pretty damn good! Goes down smooooth!

I've heard good things about Lone Star, but never been able to get my hands on any.

I mostly just get a sixer of some good microbrew every so often. My body can't handle the 18 a night habit I used to have! 8)

Snus... Is God! there is nothing else that could get me off the cigs this well, i really believe presently.

@badfish, 18 a day is nothing to me. that is restraint. my responsibilities are few, with that comes unbridled indulgence. it's why i am reigning in now. it's like putting up a periscope every once in a while while submerged, to see where one is really going.

I binge drink jim beam about 4 days a week. Ive had 2 liters this week so far. I agree snus is great

[Badfish74]

Oh no...that 18 was at night between like 7:30 and 10:30. Days off was a different story!

A case during the day before hitting the club. 3 or 4 long island iced teas to get reprimed, and at least 30 of whatever dollar shots they had that night.

Blackouts were a very common occurance for me...at least 2 per weekend usually lasting for a couple of hours(or at least that's what I was told later).

It really took a toll on my body...along with the various other substances I happened to be using at the time.

So I'm not ashamed to say I can no longer hang! But it was a helluva ride while it lasted!

Since you guys are talking beer, how does the Snus go with it? When I'm drinking, I want to be smoking. Haven't gotten the real Snus in the mail yet, but I'll be drinking tonight with my Camel SNUS mellow.

I find the saltier, plain snus go well with beer. Ettan, Grov, Granit, General Extra Sterk, Maxi. The flavored snus tends to detract from the beer or get overpowered.

Alcohol diminishes the nicotine in your blood. Just pop in a new portion more often. The first 35 minutes of snus-use give the most nicotine. Also try lössnus or nasal snuff. Keep in mind that it takes months to get the cigarettes out of your head. It's not all about the nicotine, there's also a habit factor connected with smoking, which is smaller or bigger depending on the single person.

Cheers!

I've decided I'm just a drunkard. I've taken measures to eliminate my total amount consumed, like becoming an early riser(so I crash before I party all night) and working alot of hours(which makes me more money anyhow). I drink about a handle of hard liquor a week.

about nicotine- it makes sense that alcohol elimates the nicotine in you, because after drinking hard at night and not snusing(I don't feel like I need one, cause I'm mega drunk), in the morning a dip/snus will perk me right up. It's a vicious(and invigorating) combo.

never a smoker, of anything. my lungs/repiratory system give me enough problems to begin with being ashmatic and having enough phlegm to make me gag sometimes.

the beer tastes sweet with los. i'm getting low on my fave snus (offroad original loose so i gotta ration it), but i'm still getting the sweetness from grov los.

@badfish - bud, thank god you quit what you described. stay with it and take care of mamafish and babyfish. it's what we have gone through that put us on the road we're on.

@hk11 - I binge drink jim beam about 4 days a week. Ive had 2 liters this week so far. I agree snus is great

my friend, that is a ton of booze. lookit, i'm just gonna tell you, you really don't want to drink that much. for your kid. hey, i haven't any children, but if i was a dad i would drop that shit you're drinking in a heartbeat.

i got about a case of beer in me now. uhh... maybe i'll go ahead and roll me one now too... heh heh... :wink:

and i still ain't smoking! may god bless snus.

edit - @deebocools - shit. is a handle 2 liters? nevermind... man 'o man, even when i was a kid dropping the orange barrel i never drank as much as some of the descriptions in this thread.
