I just wanted to share an experience here with you fine folks. I was a smoker for about 12 years, started when I was 27…my lungs couldn’t take it much more, so I picked up snus for a few years. Having lived in Sweden for a bit I was familiar with it, but here in Canada all you can get is American Dip…which can be quite toxic for your oral health… the whole steam pasteruized vs flue cured scenario…anyway the point I am getting to is that I successfully quit snus by using a product called Loonic Snus. You can get it on the Northerner…they sell 4 cans each with 25% less nicotine than the previous one…until you are down to the last can which is nicotine free!!  A few days ago I popped open that last can and I am now snuffing full time. I got into snuff about a year and a half ago as I knew then I would want to transition from snus to snuff. The Uncle Buck Stop Smoking Plan… cigarettes to snus, snus to snuff!!

I’m a huge fan of tobacco and want to be abe to enjoy it for a very long time.

Bellville, Ontario has a shop the sells General Snus.

We just have Skoal bandits out this way and only $13 a can…no I’m all done with my habit of snus, still love the stuff, but wanting a healthier alternative…snuff, in my opinion is just as enjoyable if not more so.

Congrats on your harm reduction process. Many different strategies work for different people, i’m glad you found one that worked so well for you. As far as any proof shows, nasal snuff is nearly harmless.

very effective way to move from smokes to snus to snuff … both snus and snuff are comparably safe … good job.

Walper Tobacco in Kitchener also carries General snus and they even have an online shop

Personally I buy all of my snus from Northerner and have never had any problems.

I stand corrected it seems we can get quality Swedish snus in Canada, just not British Columbia, or not that I have found.  I used to get all my product from the Northerner, excellent store!
Thank you all for your support
