I think it’s more that the nicoteen replacement therapies just don’t have enough nicoteen in them. Plus so gosh darn expensive.
Also if you look at the speed the nicotine hits the brain, snuff tops the lot of them. Only smoking has a slightly faster bolus over the first minute, then snuff catches up and overtakes peaking in under 2 mins as opposed to cigs at about 5.
I would never have given up smoking cigarettes without snuff. The simple fact is, I like tobacco. Its just that it took me a long time to realise I could enjoy it in much nicer ways than cigarettes. Maybe one day i’ll give up tobacco all together, but as long as I am healthy and enjoy snuff and an occasional cigar, I don’t plan to! I used to smoke out of habit. I really got nothing out of it other than feeding a habit. Now I enjoy tobacco, the flavours and variety of snuff is fantastic. From the first day I tried snuff, I knew that smoking cigarettes was over for me.
well done mate
