hope this will help others who are thinking of giving up smoking do it and see it is poss using snuff well at least im putting it to the test i have tried a few times but not full on using snuff as i was not snuffing prop but now i can todays the day to do it !! DAY 1 19/10/2008 ok well i have been using toque choc , peanut butter , toffee, and menthol i have learned from people here about the two sides to nicotine addiction the drug and the habbit , so it makes sense to say all i have to give up is the habbit side as im still getting mu nicotine from my snuff !! to be completely honest i have used the snuff at the begining of every withdraw feeling and kept using it untill it went it was actualy easyer than i thought it would be , now here is the downside or should i say my downside (THE DIZZYNESS) wow ok i hear you get dizzy when you stop smoking due to the oxygen levels in your blood are higher than when you smoke im not sure if this is true but i am deff very dizzy right now its weird , but im not snappy im not wanting to put my kids on ebay or the wife for that matter , im drinking loads of tea every time i use the snuff because i drank tea when i used to smoke makes sense eh so all in all day 1 has been well more than ok i must also add when i tryed befor to give up without using snuff i was dizzy but also pulling my hair out by now and the wife and kids would have been put up on ebay i have used nrt befor you name it gum tabs also champix tablets and i honestlt have to say so far its actualy much easyer using snuff dont get me wrong im not using snuff just to quit smoking i enjoy the snuff hobby and variety i wanted to stop smoking as i did not enjoy it anymore so what better than to use a hobby to quit ! ok thats day one hope this kind of bolg day by day will help people like me who are curious about using snuff for stopping smoking . feel free to comment i will make every new day clearly marked.
As a newbie that just quit smoking (2 months) using snuff, I think i’ll avoid mixing snuff and tea. : )
why would you avoid this not mixing tea and snuff ? Just interested the more info we can post here the better
The dizzyness I guess… I used mint snuff pouches to help with the oral cravings. I couldn’t quit cigs until I stopped buying them, I still crave them occasionally.

well what i did was order a load of small tins from toque and bullets to play with in my hand i filled up the small bullet this am and its nearly empty so i guess im using around 2 to 2.2 grams a day i think a bullet holds 2 grams ish i actualy find the menthol gives a better nicotine hit out of them all and chocolate is also a strong nicotine hit . . I must add though that tonight i have had the munchys and ate loads of snacky food but im happy with that as i want to gain a few pounds lol so still going great !
i will also add per craving im using about 1 to 2 bullet doses to kill the craving !sorry what are Synergist

ah ok that makes sence now why i use both together !! i think its important to remember that the below info still applies even giving up smoking with snuff * In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal. * In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal. * In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level. * In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase. * In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks. * In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%. * In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half. * In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker. * In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker. * In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
ok im kinda tired tonight so im getting an early night but DAY1 = NO CIGS , NO PULLING MY HAIR OUT , I DID NOT EVEN GET SNAPPY ! LOOKING FORWARD TO DAY TWO THE BIG BIG TEST IS BREAKFAST THAT WAS MY FAV TIME NOT I SAID WAS !!!
wow ok thats amazing so im only using 1 gram of snuff ??? ok thats shocking i thought i had crap willpower but seems not to be the case thanks roderick nice info wow 1 gram i did want to also add here i have been smoking for 17 years now just incase anyone wanted to know … thamks again roderic !!
20/10/2008 DAY 2 im going to do a am and pm update here ok well To be honest i was a bit worried about morning times as theats the time and only time i enjoyed a cig ! but not today i actualy found it well dare i say easy not to smoke this am ??? i woke up grabbed my snuff had a pinch ate had a pinch and all went realy well i did not sleep that well though kept waking up half the night maybe a withdrawl of some sort maybe i shoud have had a pinch when i woke up but i kind of think it will be my brain trying to process this change , now here is the interesting bit >>>> my first pinch today and every pinch since has been wow so much better i can detect more flavor and subtle flavors in the toque its so much nicer so it looks like my sence of smell is coming back , im working from home today plus have my 2yr old here so fingers crossed . it was quite funny i have 4 kids and of course a wife they all got up and kept looking at me to see what sort of mood i was in as they have seen me try to give up befor they were waiting for me to be snappy or moan about something but it did not happen the only comment my 6yr old daughter had was "daddy why do keep putting tea up your nose " !!!
DAY 2 8PM ISH OK today has been a very weird day it started of good but got worse i was kinda still dizzy from not smoking but also kept thinking about cigs then i read back to what roderick had said and thought about it and decided to double up on my pinches and guess what i feel normal again so maybe my body was not missing the cigs all that much on day 1 but deff did on day 2 so my advise is take day one easy double up on day to and you wont have a prob at all im glad i went through this today as i hope it helps others not go through the same bad day as i had , i have moved onto toque blueberry tonight very nice indeed also taking bigger pinches than i ever have done befor so get ready for my order roderick lol to add again though i can deff notice a diff in the smell of things and snuff taking has become even more enjoyable as i can sence ,smell more flavours . please forgive my spelling it was never a strong point of mine , so all in all day2 round up , it would have been so much easyer had i been taking bigger pinches all day i can notice myself feeling better inside smell sence has got better and i can breath easyer and hey no fags today so two days now as a none smoker i always gave in on day 2 using nrt so already snuff has got me further than any nrt i have ever used and i think i have used them all !

for some reason old paris really brings out the fall folliage smell when outside.
I always liked that semi-dizzy feeling when I quit smoking. Maybe that’s why I quit so many times 
Congratulations, and keep it up!

thanks brianc yes small pinches were not working at all for me today i always loved my cigs but the last few months or so i just have not enjoyed them at all i felt crap realy everytime i smoked and like you started to have 1 or two in a row lol i have been through all my new toques and i have not got into the choc realy i think it needs to breath a bit . But personaly the big hitting nicotine for me out of all of them has to be menthol with out a doubt its the one that calms me down v v quickly maybe due to the fact i smoked menthal roll ups in the end so it may not be the nicotine it may be linking menthol snuff to menthol cigs it would be interesting if roderick can let me know how high the nicotine content is in menthol low . Med or high just to see if its actualy the nicotine thats calming me or the fact that i smoked menthal cigs and its the menthol in the snuff thats calming me ! Thanks again everyone im glad its making interesting reading i was not sure what everyone would think about me doing this . Anyway of to bed for me another successfull day tomorow is snuff order day i see the deal over at toque 13 pound for ten looks amazing that should keep me going untill the cig demon is killed for good !
this is very interesting reading (its very long ) http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1779270 The Table below shows the success rate of quitting the addiction of Alcohol, Smoking and Heron. i am currently collecting figures and info from the net to also place quitting with snuff v nrt in this document it will take time to do but i think will make an interesting read
