    These are my newest addiction. Ive been a smoker since I was 16 and have spent the last 6 months trying to quit.

    I was chewing nicorette gum for a while and it worked fairly well except for when I would drink. So I went to the doctor and did a month

    of chantix. They are like torture for smokers. You still crave cigs but when you smoke you get 0 pleasure from it since it blocks your nicotine receptors in your brain.

    Also Chantix gave me some really messed up dreams about family members and friends doing horrible things. No thanks I would rather

    smoke. Well about a month ago a buddy offerred me one of these Marlboro Snus pouches at a party and they actually do the trick for

    me even when drinking. I also am able to use them occasionally at work (bartender/server) because you can conceal them fairly well

    if you know what your doing.

    cliffs:

    I quit smoking after trying a few different methods.

    Im now addicted to Chewing Pouches FML.

    The warning says it all.

    My friend in Sweden used to use these instead of smoking, but his gf make him switch back because she thought it was disgusting, and it made him smell pretty bad.

    Camel Frost tastes good, but you definitely don't get the feeling you get from Skoal Straight

    I saw a 60 minutes story on it.

    It actually is a lot safer than smoking. You obv don't get lung cancer and it doesn't appear to make you more likely to get mouth cancer either. But the nicotine in it is more potent. I think 1 packet = 2 cigs and it become super addictive.

    Yeah, there's nothing to swallow. They talked to a dude who's completly addicted. He runs with the stuff in his mouth.

    But it is supposed to be way better than cigs
