Yes. I started using them when we started having to wear mask at work since I didn’t have to spit and no one would know I had one in. Now I can’t stop. Pretty much from the time I wake up until I go to bed I have one in.

I love them when i'm out drinking but my elite self-control has prevented an addiction.

Isn't that snus or whatever? Supposedly spit free?


Yes, but I had to spit with them.

They claim it’s spit free but I have a hard time believing it’s that much different health wise than gutting dip.

General Snus White is my go to, minimal spitting, it’s much better than the Camel snus in my opinion. It’s 8mg so stronger than cope pouches, but the snus pasteurization process makes for a smoother buzz. Good natural tobacco flavor as well

Baby steps. That’s quite the leap.

It’s not about fooling anyone, it’s just a whole lot more courteous than spitting in a water bottle. As long as you use napkins and a top.

If someone is worried about people seeing them dip, that’s just another good reason to quit.

Thanks I may give this a try.

I love my caffeine to start the day but after lunch it lingers in my system too long. I like the sound of the half-life of this.


Follow up on this topic: I decided to give Zyn smooth a try as an alternative, not replacement, for caffeine. The idea is something mid-afternoon when I'm done with caffeine for the day. Note that I have never smoked cigarettes in my life. So with nicotine being new to my system, I expected a lot even though I have a high tolerance for caffeine. I was pretty underwhelmed. I tried 3mg a couple times and then doubled up with 2 for 6mg.

Meh... very, very little "lift" and that was so short lived I don't think it was worth it. Oh well, now I've satisfied my curiosity and don't have to worry about adding nicotine addiction to my caffeine addiction.

Maybe this makes me a pussy or something but after reading through this thread I'm glad I don't have a nicotine addiction.

Would your ex-wife agree with that?

Seriously though, you need to try something to stop because what you're describing seems.......excessive.

Since we are talking addiction today. I can’t quit these things. Was never a smoker but chewed some Nicorette while having drinks one night and was hooked. Gradually switched over to Zyn pouches and here we are.


This reminds me of a guy I knew who became a pack-a-day smoker at 35. Never even tried a cigarette, briefly dated a smoker, then became a chimney almost overnight. Still going almost 5 years later. Strange fella.

Rogue is the best

And it’s a lot cheaper if you’re really addicted like me and have them shipped directly from the company on a subscription. I get two rolls every two weeks.

I put a 3mg in anytime I'm doing something that I either hate doing, or it's something that needs some attention to it. At work when I'm charting on patients or when I'm trailering/launching the boat I put a 3mg in. When I fish it's straight Smooth Cut WG tho
