I smoked my last cigarette in my possession last night. I woke up this morning, had 4-5 toots of Quit. panicked. had some Musinotabak, then some more Quit. I have now gone 24 hours without a smoke. The urge hurt someone still comes and goes, but is manageable with snuff. I think I may have licked the devil finally.
Snuffrider, do you like snus at all? That will certainly help.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Once you beat BeelzeBubba PHYSICALLY, you must be prepared for the MENTAL attack of withdraws… but yes, it can be done…congrats in advance!!
@ Bipolar…yes, I’ve used it. however, it tends to burn my throat, even though you can supposedly swallow the juice. I may have to learn to get over that though. “Quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it a thousand times.”…Unknown.
In my experience, if you can hang in for another two weeks, you’ll be an ex- smoker. Snuff might get better for you, too
the quitting smoking quote is by mark twain its in a funny little book i have called the smokers addictionary from the early 1980s
Good luck, I’m sure you can do it. Mind>Matter, don’t give in.
RIGHT ON!! If I can do it so can you! McChrystals S’nuff works wonders!
Quitting smoking is like re-learning how to live your life. I’m 22 and I started smoking at 12 years of age, my entire life revolved around cigarettes. Switched to RYO’s, quit for a year, got put in a bad place and started again, quit for 4 months, then I started smoking Black&Mild Wine flavor Woodtips and i still woke up coughing every day. I took the jump to snuff a few days ago and I’m not looking back. I wake up feeling fine, I don’t cough up a lung when I wake up either. Being addicted to the actual ACTION of smoking has been the hardest thing to overcome for me personally. Now I might take the occasional hit off of a cig at the pub, but I’m not smoking a pack or two a day like i used to.Best of luck to you!
Snuff and the actual “want” to quit smoking is all you need. My 20 year habit is gone thanks to snuff and wanting to quit. Good luck man.
Its really do-able. I never thought I could knock the smokes on the head but with the smoking ban made the full time switch to snuff and although it was hard to begin with cigarettes are a distant memory now. I tried to quit so many timesw that I still can’t quite believe it but when you get completely used to snuff as your way of taking tobacco the cigarette urge just fades away. Keep on going and it will work out. The classic advice I stuck to and the simplest was to pinch every time things got bad. I also had my own addition to this - which won’t be for everyone but was key to my success - that if I really started to go insane I would allow myself a cigarette. I did, several times, but that safety net kind of pysched me out needing to smoke in the end. I still have that in place because every once in a while, how ever long its been, you can get an overwhelming desire for a cig. It really works for me. Total cigarettes since July 07 - probably less than a pack.
If you are looking to kill the nicoteen craving, try NTSU original (the black container with a yellow lid). Enter NTSU in the search engine at the top of this page to learn more. Irrespective of which snuff you use, allways have it with you. When smokers go out they allways check their pockets for cigaretts and a lighter. Do the same with snuff. If you are caught out “snuffless” the temptation to dive into the nearest cigarette shop will be overwhelming. Now that you have found the joys of snuff you will give up sooner or later. Its just a motter of time.
Yep, 100%
Thanks for the encouragement guys. even though many people have quit before me. It is nice to hear that the struggle is universal, not just in my head. today is day 2 and a new issue has arose. I can only get a few pinches in my nose before Im all caked up. I tend to blow often, but I just plain old want more of it shove up there. might have to start using this dholakia white for the next few days, but holy nosebleed does that stuff burn. I had a freak out this morning, looking for cigarettes, before i turned to Toque Quit and piled it in there. but as I write this, the urge to climb the walls and race across the ceiling Exorcist style is fading. so what do you do when you want more and cant get anymore in there?
Pinch and shove.
Rinse out the nose and start again. Also, use American Scotches like Bruton, Red Seal or Navy. They have lots of nicotine.
I think a lot of times it works for me when having a bad craving to chain pinch a fine strong snuff then when I start to feel a little bit of a buzz to take a big pinch of something more coarse ground to stretch the buzz out. Since the finer grinds tend to hit hard and fast but they don’t tend to last.
@ Bob that’s a good idea. will try it out now. I apparently have a huge tolerance. I get a craving about every 5 minutes. used to be 30 with smokes. but with the cost of snuff, I can pinch every 3-5 minutes all day and still spend less than with cigarettes. so i figure. pinch away, rinse repeat.
@# London Jack:When smokers go out they allways check their pockets for cigaretts and a lighter This drove me nuts for a few days after I quit. I kept thinking I was forgetting something! I carry a bullet and/or a schnifter with my snuffbox as it simulates the pack-o’-smokes and lighter and gives me something fiddle with.
