From snus to snuff and pipe?

I’ve been snussing for about a year and a half.  I may be without a fridge soon to store it and it’s getting harder to get hold of here in the UK.  Do you think it’s possible/easy to switch to a briar pipe and nasal snuff to replace a stark snus all day addiction?  if so would you think i’d smoking my briar more than i’d snuff or vice versa?  Thanks.

I’m a chain snuser myself. I have considered at times to cut back but have yet to make an effort. I would think that you would be using snuff way more than smoking in this situation simply due to its convenience. From a health perspective you certainly should not rely on smoking to keep your nicotine levels up. That being said I think you would enjoy smoking more doing so with lower blood nicotine levels. I imagine it will be more difficult than quitting fags with snuff because snus’s constant feed does not include steep spikes and drops in levels which might be hard to get used to. Good luck to you then.

It is possible. Snus is my main nicotine source. I have been using it for almost 5 years now and I can get by with snuff only. Never tried to make it past 3 days. but I did use a lot more snuff than usual. Most days I use 2-4 grams of snuff.  and 1/2 a tin of snus. Snuff only just about doubled my snuff intake. Pipes really add no noticeable nicotine to my system. I only smoke a couple bowls a day though.

I used Snus and snuff to replace figs for a few months. I tried pipe smoking and never looked back. I do have the time to enjoy a pipe 4-6 times per day though. If I didn’t have a pipe to smoke I would be snussing. I take about 3 grams of snuff per day with pipes in between. It can be done my friend.

I’ve never snused but I’d guess that most pipe tobaccos are too weak on the nic for you. Make sure to try strong pipe tobaccos if you take up the pipe. My favorite strong blends are irish flake, 1792 flake, nightcap and billy bud. If you don’t feel a buzz from those, then try out some of the brown/black ropes. Good luck!

I experimented with quitting snus by using snuff and did very well. I still keep snus around  but I think I went 30 days or so without snus. I was a chain snusser but did not use sterks.

I used Viking Dark, Grunt and Quit almost exclusively for the first week or so. Those seemed to do the best job of killing the cravings for me.
