One of the big reasons that vapes and pouches etc. really get people hooked is because you can use them all the time. With cigarettes you have to go outside, unless you’re a degenerate that smokes in you own home.

You might smoke 1 cigarette in a couple hours but with vaping you can get 5 cigarettes worth of nicotine in that same amount of time.

They also don’t provide the nice little break you get from going outside and smoking. You can just sit there and vape away.
100%

I yo-yo a bit with nicotine but less and less it seems but this is exactly why I don't bother with vaping. You can't establish a ritual, you're never craving, there's just no enjoyment to it. I like hanging for a smoke, finally getting the chance and sitting down somewhere and just lighting up and having a fucking moment of peace. With vaping and other things it's like you're on a drip.

How I get my nicotine fix these days - snus.

Once in a great while I buy a pack of Marlboro reds for old times sake. But its not the same as it was. I don't really enjoy it the way I once did.

The only true tobacco I enjoy anymore are the odd Cuban cigars.

Velo is my favorite brand for snus, I've tried others, but I find their selection to be what I like for the most part in terms of flavors/nicotine amount per pouch.

I am now vaping but the same points I made are true, something about tobacco that just kicks in a different and much better way. That said I enjoy not having a cough whilst I have this little nicotine relapse.

I vaped for a number of years before switching to snus. When they started banning shipping through the USPS, it got way too annoying to try and get the liquids. I happened to have 2 smoke shops nearby that sold premium liquid brands, but the snus is way more discreet and I found it a hell of a lot easier for plane travel or even road trips. No need to stop for a cigarette, just pop a new pouch in and good to go.

Plane travel hits hard on the long haul, you are literally dying for that cigarette/vape the moment you step off and only if you're lucky does the airport have a room to service your addiction. I've thought about nicotine gum as snus/pouches aren't available here unless you get a prescription for it and god knows what doctor will actually do that for you.

Oh man when I only smoked cigarettes, long-haul plane rides were the absolute worst. 2-3 hours was manageable, but after that it was brutal. You need a prescription where you are to get snus/pouches?? The fuck?

Yeah same for vapes too, it's a joke really I made an account, gave my universal healthcare number and they bill the government for whatever they do and hello priscription. The government is very moralistic or anti-vice and finds every way to tax/block you from getting said thing. A pack of 25 cigs here will run you $38 at the minimum and $75 at the maximum and now there's a black market selling imported cigs for $20 a pack. Not to mention the supercharged organised crime because of all the extra revenue.

Governments can be so stupid with this shit. Prohibition or excessive taxation of products just creates a black market that organized crime is always willing to step right on into to fill the needs. Fucking $38 for a pack of cigs is madness. Do they charge insane prices for vapes or are they just pushing vapes?

Slept like shit, woke up early, drank a coffee and now one of these mofos while I read stupid shit on the Hyphen.

Swedish, 12mg. I think my new favorite, almost offensive tobacco flavor and smell.

Jeebus. SO, I've been abusing TF out of swedish 12.5mg pouches for weeks now. I bought some FRE (US) 12mg pouches and they punch so much harder than the swedish stuff. Kinda' crazy actually. The swedish stuff is so much smoother.

Plus isn't that claim of nicotine increasing testosterone levels awfully wishy washy at best. Talk about conspiracies.

No one can see a pouch though and you don’t need to chew it. Gum seems legit though. Fuck it why not both?

You can snap the lozenges into smaller doses. Can ween yourself or just take smaller amounts when you want. And nothing to spit out at the end.

Too weak, but they're great, also only 15 to a tin. They need a 9mg
