ZYN

Just picked up a can of 6 peppermint today to try.

I've gone years without dipping and grabbed a can of cope pouches on a fishing trip and was instantly a can a day again. I'd really like to just be a pipe smoker again.

just don't buy it if you want to stop
that's how I quit doing things, just stop buying them
 
Every Male in my office "dips" ZYN. Most of them converting from real dip, a couple from smoking. They love that ****! They'll sit around the counter talking about flavors and levels of nicotine like we would be talking about tires or some ****.

I don't disagree at all, good for them!

I'm still the outcast ***got smoker turned vapor... Like 20yrs ago... I'm really cool with that!
 
Finally tried a 6mg. Broke about a 12 week nicotine abstinence. Within about 5 minutes I wanted to :barf:. Don't think it's for me. Can't say it was enjoyable at all.
 
Alright, thinking about giving it a shot :homer:

All I know is the mint or whatever is trash :laughing:

3mg or 6mg? Does it matter? Thunking about starting with 3mg
 
TLDR: if you have any self control, it helps quit smoking.

I used them to quit smoking. Then got a bad cavity from where i tucked it up in my lip, so quit them too. The withdrawal coming off nic pouches was worse than cigs. Average cig has something like 3mg of nicotine? An i got into the fre 16mg ones, got two in, take em out, put in two more. It started to control my life, stayed on the lookout for the highest mg ones, then stockpiling them, getting anxious with only a couple cans left. Felt like a nicotine junkie, get real angry when i didnt have them.
 
Bump.

I need to cut back on my smoking. I pretty much chain smoke a pipe when I am not in the office. Have been a smoker for 30 years. Quit cigs when vape became a thing. Then picked up pipe tobacco.

Tried a couple different brands/flavors/mg levels so far. 6-7mg seems about right for me. pouch lasts me about 2 hours.

Need to explore more flavors. So far coffee and black cherry have been my favorites.

Yay me I guess? :laughing:

I like the Zyn Smooth. Hard to find around here sometimes though. I've never been a smoker or a dipper. A can lasts me about 2 weeks. LOL

:eek: You mean he's suggesting people pick it up!?!

I explained to my kid that kicking smoking was like having an alien spider parasite in your head telling you what to do, controlling your mind. "Come on, just a couple, you won't get hooked this time."

And heroin helps you lose weight. Only a moron would walk into addiction on purpose.

Some small percentage may not get addicted...but some percentage don't get lung cancer from smoking, either. Russian roulette.

If I was smoking, I'd definitely swap it for Zyn or gum.

Almost dying from a lung infection and barely able to breathe made me decide I'm never touching that ****.

Was only months later when I was sent paperwork I found I'd filled out some last rites paperwork with a chaplin that visited.
I remembered him coming by and doing prayers and asking if family was coming but I had no idea it was that serious... I was more worried about getting back to work.

As far as the addictiveness, I bought a pack of 20 of those Zone 9mg pouches after trying my buddy's seeing that yeah, I can see a strategic use case for these things. That was about three weeks ago. Just counted and I've used a grand total of seven in that timeframe. But your mileage may vary. I've never shown much of a weakness for chemical addiction I'm more of a habit former type. If I started with them everyday I'd form a habit.

Just checked and I still have six left so in roughly three and a half months I've used a grand total of 14 so averaging about one a week. Doesn't seem like I'm getting addicted. :laughing:

I just ordered a 5 pack of Alp. Will compare to zyn. 9mg :smokin:

I burned through most of a roll of Alp Wintergreen 3mg. I like them, they have a bit of 'burn' to them similar to chew. Most of what I had seemed all bunched up on one side of the pouch, so have to squeeze them flat or they're a lot more abrasive on your gums - suckers feel like they get rock hard once they're in your mouth. If you're using them all throughout the day, they're a lot harsher, like starts to feel like they're burning a hole in your gums. I went back to Zyn mostly, and just use an Alp every now and again.

I've been putting Zyns in the Alp container though, since you don't have to line up arrows to open the damn thing

I got an aluminum case. Love this thing, has a separate pocket for the used ones if you're at dinner or something.

I still prefer Rouge Wintergreen 6mg. Live the cinnamon but burns my lip, the citrus is not too bad but most cans I have gotten are dry.

Haven't seen black cherry, but coffee is thus far the only one I can tolerate :laughing:
 
These are the only pouches I find acceptable, the weird burning tingle I get from Zyn pouches is not pleasant to me at all, I barely go through a can a week currently.

Those are the same two flavors I like. Zyns always just burn and hurt my gums.

Former smoker and vape guy.

Former 30 year smoker here, it's a weird burn I get from Zyn, not like traditional chew at all.

Sick how?

Friday night get together at my buddies shop usually entails 3 of us chain smoking our pipes while the other 3 deal with it for hours .

Tonight I pouched. I smoked my pipe once.

Going to need to find something to do with my hands other than tending to a pipe constantly.

But the pouch is def feeding the nic.
I don't know how to not smoke. I've always smoked.
