dave - stopping with snuff is perfectly possible and you need to look at the two main areas in your smoking habit - the addiction and the ritual. Both are actually pretty simple to pick apart; Addiction; your body needs the nic. Smoking gives a good jolt of it, but so does snuff. The trick is take a decent sized pinch in each nostril - by either pinching or taking from the back of your hand or whatever - as soon as you crave a cig. After a few seconds the craving will subside, simply carry on like this. It takes a while to get used to it but sooner or later the craving is for snuff not a cig. A lot of people find stronger, plainer snuffs are better to begin with - toasts, SP’s, US Scotch’s- because they are closer in flavour to a cig and tend to be higher in nicotine. I would be using Toque original, natural or one of the high dried toasts. Dholakia is good as well as it can be quite high in nicotine. But at the end of the day the choice is yours - just don’t try it with a candy snuff with no discernable nic content. Ritual; you just have to substitute snuff for every single occasion you would have a smoke, have enough of it around, fiddle with your snuffbox like you would a cigarette However you do it. its tough to kick smoking but it can be done. Above all I would find a good plain snuff and stick with it in the early stages. I used Toque original and Wilsons HDT22. Personal thoughts only of course, others will have equally valid ideas…
thank you so much you have answer all my questions and everything you said makes sence to me i now understand whats happening like you said their is actualy two sides to my addiction to cigs the nicotine and the habit that goes with it ie every time i drink tea or am on the pc or after i eat now eating was a funny thing i am starting to eat more now since using snuff ? Kinda strange but the good side is i want to gain a stone in weight anyway , thanks for explaining it so so well only one quest is what is candy snuff ? Is it vanilla and peanut cutter and apricot ? Are these all classed as candy snuff i have some l260 and some lowenpride are these better than the vanilla etc ? If not i think its order time tomorow honestly i cant thank you enough for your help !
oh and the only other two i have is maChrystals mild lemon and red bull
Snuffster: Very nice! Rooster is high in nicotine as is Brutons and a few of the other American snuffs. I found over the years that many of the Euro style snuffs just didn’t give me enough nicotine so I gravitated to the American style. What a difference. Tom NicotineRush.com
thanks tom i may just have to try one of those american snuffs i had no idea how vast the world of snuff was ! Its funny i enjoy taking snuff more than having a cig but thanks to snuffster i understand why this is happening . I have just got my bullet out and will start to play with that to give my hands something to do !
nicotinerush.com hmm im of to look your site up tonight are you uk based or usa ? If usa how long does it usual take for delivery to the uk ?

Sorry, ‘candysnuff’ is a term that describes low nicotine high flavour snuffs - Poschl for example - very mild tobacco due to the type and cure, then with added flavourings, usually menthol. Lots of folks like them, they are perfectly good snuffs, but won’t satisfy a cigarette level craving.
and like Tom says, the US snuffs pack a punch - the closest in English snuff would be the High Dried Toasts, also kamal or Ganga by Dholakia are in the same ball park. I am Toque devotee however, my personal ‘stopper’ would be original or natural.
ah again thanks stuffster im going to place an order of tortue original tomor i realy like torque i just got confused in what candy snuff was but now thats sorted thanks again mate
when this happens to me I keep snuffing over and over untill the craving is past
I know what you mean. I am born and raised in th US but I hate the cigs in the US. I smoked UK cigs for years but when Dunhill moved to Singapore I said to hell with cigs. I went back to dip like I had done in m youth. I had also done some snuff back then and liked it. So, when I decided that cigs were not for me and the dip was to expensive, I ordered some snuff. I started subistuting a snuff for a cig in the morning and before bed. It was not easy but I changed the habit. Take one cig habit at a time and change it to snuff. I hope this helps. Try some Bespoke products. They have a healthy nic kick.
Well if you raise the pH level in your mucosa, you’ll pull more nicotine from the snuff.
ph level ? Acid do you mean ? How on earth do i do that i have never heard of it befor ?
ah ok i wont risk pay pal lol il pop an order through on your site totalin the amount then pay for it just ignore my order list and send what you suggested is that ok ?
the ph needs to go to the base side. A common way to do this is add some ashes of burned wood. Or if you want to be hard core the people in south america mix in lye. I don’t think I would recomend that but I think some wood ash would not hurt.
interesting thanks for that im going to give it a go !
a candy snuff with quite a hit is gawith apricot by the way.
I add Gawith Apricot to my Rooster. Get the great Gawith flavor, and the high nic from the Rooster, without all the nose blowing I get when using Apricot alone! Tom NicotineRush.com
