Any cigarette smokers out there looking for a much less harmful alternative ? ?
Well, I decided to give up the butts since they were making me feel like garbage and thought I'd try some Snus . . Swedish Snus . (Not camel or marlboro, that shits crap)

According to recent studies about Snus from Sweden , it is the safest tobacco alternative . There have been no studies that have concluded that it causes any type of cancer, and for that matter, does not cause any health problems whatsoever . . Since Sweden has launched it's "Harm Reduction" campaign (getting smokers to snus instead) , the rates of oral cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, and tobacco related cancers in general have significantly dropped . In fact, Sweden now has the lowest rate of oral and lung cancer in Europe at the moment .![[Image: banana.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/new/banana.gif)
The Sweds pasteurize the tobacco to the point that nearly all of the carcinogens are wiped out of the product making it just as cancerous as a cup of coffee . The Snus is so pure that they are able to pass it as a food product in Sweden .
Some interesting facts about the health factors of Snus can be found here : http://www.svensktsnus.se/en/Snus-and-health/
I have tried the General Mint Snus which is imported and manufactured by the Swedish Match company . It tastes great, satisfies my nicotine cravings and is a hell of a lot better than Dip or something of that sort .
The price is a bit similar to cigarettes , but in my opinion it's worth it until I fully stop nicotine all together . The tobacco comes in little pouches that you just pop under your lip . . Each pouch, in the regular portioned size, pack 8mg of nicotine - quite a lot for it's size . . There's no spitting involved , unless you salivate a lot, and the flavor can last for hours .
I'd recommend it to anyone who is trying to stop smoking and wants something less harmful than butts . I'd like to see if anyone else on here knows about it .
