On my 3rd day w/o a filthy cig. Broke down today though and got some wintergreen skoal. I love it but have been doin’ snuff for the very first time. I also have a smoke stick lol. I want to quit smoking for good this time and just use snuff and the stick. Skoal is a treat when I need it. I would love to use skoal but 10 or so years ago the dentist said I have “pre pre pre cancer” whatever that means so I quit and continued to smoke although I went back and she said my gums looked much better. I have smoked for like 20 years and prolly only dipped for 2 and in the last 10 years have prolly only enjoyed maybe 2 tins of skoal. Screw it this time. I am doing everything I can to quit smoking. Sorry if I am rambling but I have had a couple beers, first time I think without smoking EVER! Thank you all and look to be a big part of community. I am 33 and name is Matt. 
Oh, my first tin of snuff is Wilsons of Sharrow. Quite like it but looking to try many more.
Welcome to Snuffhouse WhiZZIE.
Well I quit with snuff (not the company) and I still occasionally smoke but maybe a pack a week at most, and that’s when I smoke a lot especially while drinking. -Kidnapper
Hello Matt. I also just quit smoking. After a 20 year habit, I’ve been one and a half months without a cigarette and its all thanks to snuff. Stay strong and persevere.
30 year habit for me, just slowly replaced with snuff which I’d used as well for years. Its completely possible to switch over entirely and in actual fact end up enjoying your tobacco like never before. Just be patient with yourself and don’t give yourself a hard time when you fall off the wagon temporarily. There’s a stack of good threads/experiences on the site so use the search facility for inspiration if things get tough, plus there’s usually someone hanging round the site if you need to ask anyhting. Welcome to the site Matt!
Was a smoker and snuffer at same time. now non smoker of three weeks and snuff helps greatly. Feel great for it, keep up the cig quitting, they really are nasty. Good luck dude!
Hi WhiZZie/Matt! I am also hoping to use snuff to help quit smoking. Quite a few people on this forum have kindly informed me (or posted elsewhere) that snuffing helped them cut down or quit, which gives me tremendous hope! I’m still anxiously awaiting my snuff shipments from Britain and the US. I just thought I would post a welcome, even though I am a newbie myself, and publicly thank the folks here for their “quit smoking” reports and advice, as it means a lot to me.
Hey Matt glad you found us! WELCOME, surf the old posts they helped me alot.
Thank you all very kindly. Another day without a cig. Not feeling it no more. I am getting an oxygen buzz lol. I want to run through the woods by my house. I know I can quit but am scared that I will continue dipping too. Going to get some redman though and layoff the dip. I am telling every1 here… there is no feeling like the feeling of going w/o a cig for a few days. Thank you all for the warm welcome. It is very much appreciated.
So do you know about Snus yet? Hello, by the way.
Hello, Yes I do know about snus, but I figured if I am going to dip which I believe snus to be I would rather enjoy some skoal. I don’t know if snus is better for you and if it is I will switch. Dipping and chewing scare me some what but I don’t care cuz quitting smoking is all I am worried about now. Thank you.
Snus is way safer than dip my friend, dont get me wrong i love dip (have a lip of Skoal Straight Fine Cut right now) but snus is easier on the gums and its much lower in TSNAs . I ve been snusing for more than one year and my gums looks fine (same as the day i started) and my teeth are actually whiter
Yeh I would think snus is better for you, but still love me some skoal lol. Like I said I have only dipped maybe 2 years total out of my 33 year life but it did take a toll on my mouth. Receding gums and what not. Damn dentist is what scared me saying I have pre pre pre cancer. I’m sure she was just trying to scare. Either way I want snuff to be my main nicotine and looking to order much more this weekend. I also bought some redman. No smoking rules. I feel great and this is no lie. I even enjoy drinking more as I was not a big smoker when I drank anyways as it would dry my mouth out something sick. I know I ramble but I am happy as I feel great.
@ WhiZZlE Hangovers are 1/3 too much alcohol, 1/3 too little sleep, and 1/3 too many cigarettes. Also, alcohol gives me a much more relaxing buzz when I’m not smoking, even if I’m taking in profuse amounts of nicotine via snuff or snus. For some reason, in my case, American Dip was almost as hard on me as cigarettes. And as an added benefit, if you stop smoking, that gives you an extra $150 per month or so to move up a shelf or two in your alcohol selection.
I second that. -Kidnapper
Good luck with the smoking, I too had to quit smoking for medical reasons (COPD after 20+ years of Camels) and found snuff to be an awsome alternative. I think I saw that you listed Wilson’s as your first snuff, curious as to which one. Unless I missed something I did not see you post any kind of flavor you prefer or wether or not you liked the snuff you tried. We can definitely help and steer you in the right direction if you would like some help. Also welcome!
