Thanks for any help or as star wars princess leia says "help me snuff house your my only hope "lol

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

I think president is pretty decent in it’s nic hit. I never consider strength with snuffs the weaker ones I take huge amounts of instead of small amounts.

I just quit smoking using snuff. It took me about 2 days, when I ran out of cigarettes. I stopped buying them! It’s been about 2 months and i still crave a cig now and then. I used ozona fruit snuffs, which i believe are good “starter” snuffs. I just got an order of every flavor of Toque, and i am working my way through tasting each. So far menthol and absinthe are my favorites. Hello to everyone on this forum, I’ve been reading your comments for weeks and this is my first entry.

Welcome and congratulations! Tom NicotineRush.com

Hello miamimark. Good luck with giving up the cigs. I’m just over a year without them and I’ll never go back. And welcome to snuffhouse!

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention: I also used mint snuff pouches to help with the “oral” part of the cig addiction. In fact I heared about mint snuff on the radio, was googleing it and stumbled upon nasal snuff. Originally I wanted to just cut down on cigs and the mint snuff helped, short term. Even with the nasal snuff, If I have cigs in my possesion, i will smoke them!

Quit With Snuff has been ordered and should be in in about a week. Tom NicotineRush.com

Hi Miamimark, welcome to the forum, may your stay be a long and happy one. I quit smoking on Valentine’s Day last year and I never wanna go back. I enjoy snuff so much, the possibilities are without end because you can blend/mix your snuff to suit your very taste. As you go along, you’ll see/taste/smell what I mean. Happy snuffing!! Regards Pieter

Hi Pieter. Thank you. My snuff habbit has already turned into a hobby. So far, I like ALL the Toque flavors that I’ve tried, but the menthol, abstinthe and rasberry (so far) are the ones I will never allow myself to run out of. Once I finish giving each flavor a fair try. I’ll order a large quanity of the ones I can’t live without. So far i can add menthol to any of the flavors I only 'like" and it becomes an all day snuff for me. I would like to figure out a way to have a sort of snuff sampling event at a local resturant / bar. I think a lot of smokers would make the switch if they only knew about nasal snuff. The only negative is geting a 10g tin of something you don’t care for too much. If people could sample some of my 30 differant varieties, then buy the only ones they like, I think it could take off in a big way. After I’ve tried all my current stock. I think I’ll post here offering to mail a small quantity to anyone that wants to try one of the flavors I don’t care for. Maybe I can try a few of the americans snuff via “trade” this way, without buying a whole tin.
