I am at my 4th day of not smoking at all…and it goes fantastic. I made it very clear for myself that I need 1 thing : Nicotine, not the rest of the crap that comes with cigarettes. Step 1 : I threw it all away ( lighters, some cigars, ashtrays ). Now I have the luck that I already have over 25 kinds of snuffs, and I use them as a child in a candy shop :))) I really exchanged in my mind the cigarettes for snuff, smoking is NOT an option anymore for me. When I feel like smoking ( Actually I feel like Nicotine ) I open up my humidor which used to hold cigars… and just smell all the nice snuffs… Toque W&H mmmm, or no, maybe some F&T Old Paris… Make the mental swap, that’s all for me this time, and it works. And bye the way… you ever had a " cigarette smokers Forum " so nice as this one ? 
Good luck!!
@ Micheltn: Good luck to you! Many of us have quit this way. You will too.
I’ve been bouncing back between 1/2 pack to 2 packs depending on my allergies. I’m hoping this winter I’ll be able to strictly use snuff and snus and cut out the smoking. I’m finding that my cigar habbit doesn’t help. I feel so much better when I don’t smoke cig’s, and still get my tobacco fix with snuff. There are day’s when I’ll just use snuff, and chew on a high-end cigar without ever lighting it. It seems like a waste of a cigar, but I enjoy it.
@ NelsonPipeClub : I already did! 
McGuyver75 : If you really want to stop smoking - Yes I said WANT to stop - Get rid of it. No more Cigars, no more smoke’s in your house. Like NONE. Snuff only - 100%. I had to do this. Also my cigars ( only had a few left )… threw them away. Unless you don’t want to quit of course… 
If you really want to quit send me your cigars.
Jerk! :-p
Its a long project because you keep nicotine in your system. When you stop and don’t take nicotine, in the long run you forget about cigarettes but the cravings are more intense when they happen - most of my failures were due to the impossibility of combining a good time, alcohol and and other people smoking around me. With snuff your nicely topped up the whole time and its much easier to say no because you are not screaming for nicotine. It took me two years to get to the position where I was truly, mentally off cigarettes as a state of being. As I’ve said before, the thing that helped me most was losing that hyped up guilt thing where its the end of the world if you have a cigarette. I set no limits or bounds and said Im switching to snuff but will have a cigarette if things get bad. Gradually the balance tipped to my day to day craving being for snuff not cigarettes. Maybe Im just weird but I can have a cigarette - or several - and have no wish to use them regularly. Its all bound up in the concept of switching to an alternate form of nicotine NOT the concept of never having a cigarette again. Works for me.
@ Snuffster : Amen.
I’m in the same boat as all of you in this thread. I don’t want to stop the cigars at all though…I like them and I think 2 or so a week isn’t horrible… The cigarettes are the problem…20 - 30 a day is the problem. I can’t wait to be done with them. I’m really hoping I can make the mental switch from cigarettes to snuff…I agree, depravation only makes you want them more. Absense makes the heart grow fonder kind of thing. We’ll see if the new girl can make me forget about the old one.
I still struggle with smoking-but cut WAAAAAYYY down to maybe two cigarettes a week if that. But I alternate between nasal snuff and copenhagen “snuff” cut chew. I had to get away from taking in so much nicotine at a time, seeing as snuff is a kwik blast of nicotine and ciggs is a massive amount-lasting longer. As soon as I got used to just enuff from snuff, I don’t even crave a cigg at all much. Now I can’t even smoke a whole cigarette. Thanks SNUFF!
@Micheltn, I’ve got about $700 or so wrapped up in my cigar collection. I only smoke a couple a week and often only chew on them. I see your point, maybe I’m not ready to quit. No, I do want to stop the cigarettes. @Jerk, I’d be willing to ship you two packed humidors for $400!
I think it has been a year or just over a year now since i quit smoking with snuff - apart from the first few days i can’t think of any time i have wanted to or got the urge to smoke. When you add up the financial cost over a year to smoke in the UK it is such a mind boggling expensive habit costing thousands of £ pounds, i’m glad to be done with it!
Im convinced that the key to it is to NOT think in terms of giving up your favourite smokes. Lets face it, we are adult tobacco lovers - we like our leaf. Maybe a better analogy would be prime rib/cheeseburgers. Your smoke is the prime rib, you wouldn’t live off it but you’ll never say its too high in fat Ill never have one again - you have it now and then. And you don’t crave it all the time because you satisfy your hunger on a regular basis. Cut out the guilt, worrying what others think and the awful feeling of never having a smoke again and saitisfy your day to day hunger with snuff. It does take a while to swing the balance but because you are getting a proper, tobacco based dose of mother N that process is not too difficult. Put it this way, two weeks ago I was on holiday - I saw some English cigarettes I have not seen in 20 years. I bought them and lovingly smoked the pack; I haven’t even considered having a smoke since. Its my prime rib. And when you get really into snuff you think of it in the same way you did your smokes - its not like NRT, its a feasible way of using tobacco.
@ mcguyver75 Do you know how much snuff I can buy for $400? Besides I got to fix my 2003 F150 Supercrew that started miss firing. 
Hopefully that won’t cost me much to fix.
I’ll sell you a half tin of blessed snuff. It’s been blessed by me.
Being the Orthodox Chrisian I am, I carry holy water in my flask instead of whiskey, well in one anyway. Allergies and asthma acting up today, having a hard time getting any nic! Strong snuff’s of Dholakia White helping a bit, but painful.
