Snuff made me sick!

Try ZYN. Nicotine pouches. Haven’t had regular snuff in 3 months.

That's a totally normal rookie response. That's about how I felt my first time. And when I'd go back to it while trying to quit. Ultimately had to use sunflower seeds

I quit dipping after 25 years of use. Never once did I think “maybe I should pick up smoking to wean me off Copenhagen”...

No ****!

Stay AWAY from the snuff!! Get some gum or peppermints. If u wanna quit, quit it ALL!! I quit dipping 5 years ago and it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done

I used to chew Red Man and dipped Garrett powder snuff and loved it, then one day I had the bright idea to try some Kodiak wintergreen.....10 minutes later I was hugging the toilet recycling lunch....haven't chewed or dipped since.

It used to make me feel kinda like that. When I was about 14 I spit in the sink and almost got caught so I got the bright idea to start putting a dip in when I got in the shower when I was at the house. My mouth got all dry one time so I thought "I'm gonna take me a drink from the shower nozzle." So I tried it,instantly that water hit that dip of Skoal and washed it down my throat. I started gaggin,snot was coming out of my nose,my throat burned and I couldn't get anything to come up. I drank about a half gallon of water before I finally got all that chew down. I couldn't even smell Wintergreen for a long time.

I started off with this stuff called Rooster. That was some powerful Wintergreen. You talk about feeling green around the gills. But I finally got over that. The only time I feel like that now is if I don't have nowhere to spit. If you swallow enough of that junk you'll start sweatin like a son of a gun and you'll start thinking about things like.....where can I blow chunks?

I know a guy that never spits when he's chewing. I've even seen him eat with chew in his mouth. I like chewing as much as the next guy but dang that's nasty. I can't do that. If I did it I'd be heaving so hard I'd have chunks blowing out both ends.

Try some Smokey mountain snuff. From a quitter, just quit it all.

Snuff contains much more nicotine than cigarettes which is why it’s so much harder to quit.
A cigarette has about 1.8 mg of nicotine, but an average dose of snuff has about 3.6 mg and chewing tobacco is 4.6 mg.”
Not a safe alternative.

[Artos]

yeah, stay away from it...I threw my last can out several days ago. Not a habit you want sans smoking. Congrats on kicking the cigs.

[Rustled Again]

As a young man growing up on a ranch I tried every kind of dip, chew, leaf tobacco etc. and threw up every time. Never could get addicted. Winter green Skoal is my favorite smell.

When I was about 8yrs old,the same thing happened to me.More than once! You'd think I would've listened to my guts! 37 yrs later still using it.

It will do it! Embarrass you every time

[Quackerbox]

Been there done that. No idea why I continued after the 1st puke session. Thankfully quit 15 years ago or so.

Like the guys said. It’s a hard habit to quit. Been doing it for several decades. I wouldn’t advise another habit. Snuff Nicotine is stronger and you will find it easier to put in a dip, where you can’t or not allowed to smoke. Then you will smoke where allowed. All of a sudden you got two habits. I don’t know if snuff is good to wean off smoking, but I would not advise. But, to each their own and good luck. Yes. Snuff will make you dizzy and light headed first couple rounds.

I’m on day 8 with zyn, Copenhagen long cut a can a day for 15 years or so. Not the same mouth feel but gives me the nicotine I need. Feels odd not to be attached to a spitter..... wife’s happy and doesn’t cause cancer. My real thing was how can I tell my two boys that they shouldn’t dip when their older if I do.....

Good luck. For cigs I’d try the zyn 3 mg.... should take the irritability edge off.
