I'm up to 4-5 snus at once I don't know how many times during the day. Looking at these lozenges, there 4mg a piece .. one snus packet is about 8-14 .. has anyone uses lozenges or gum?
That shit is such a ripoff. Costs a fortune and instead of 7-8 days of hell its non stop because it doesn't kick the habit and its never enough. Plus they're expencive as fuck. If those worked the way they claim where it weens you off you'd be able to do it by just lowering the amount of snus you use wouldn't you? I've tried the gum way, spent a fortune to "take the edge off" but then pretty soon instead of one I was having two, then 4, then I was looking at how I spent a fortune on gum and I decided about two months into it that I might as well just buy a can and only have a dip now and then, then pretty soon I was spiraling back upwards to a tin a day. You give your brain a little taste of what it wants doesn't take the edge off. You think giving a starving person a cracker makes them less hungry? There is nothing that works besides cold turkey. Get some of the fake shit for the mouth feel if you need to. The non-nicotine variety, if you did snus I'd probably suggest grinds or smokey mountain pouches.

So youÂ’d be at 8-10 lozenges at once?

Find the May 2018 Quit Group. Learn to post Roll, where you promise to quit all forms of nicotine for the day. Make the same promise tomorrow.

Here is a link to the May quit group.

The withdrawals suck, but the freedom on the other side is worth it.

Lozenges and gum do nothing but feed your addiction. You're just changing the delivery method. Dig down deep and go nicotine free.
Hey eternalopdx!
The best decision youÂ’ll ever make is the hardest one to do. I chewed cope for nearly 40 years. Today, IÂ’m 1052 days nicotine free.
If you want it and want to fight to be free of the bitch, this is the place.
“There's an important phrase that we use here, and think it's time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if you are the fucking President of this firm. Act as if you got a 9" cock. Okay? Act as if.”

“That’s what I love about these fresh new quitters, man. I get older, they stay the same age.”

“I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression.”
