Hi, Kookie, and welcome to the dark side where the bad kids hang out. ;)

Plenty of ladies snus, I assure you. Nothing unladylike about it. Ladies just don't stuff handfuls of loose snus under their lips like guys do (well, guys in Sweden do this and it is gross, I have to admit). There are other ladies here at this subforum, Firechick already joined the conversation (hi, Chick). I'm sure you'll get to meet the other regulars like Caesarea, W Axl Rose and JoJo soon.

First of all, you still can order online and beat the Pact. I placed my last minute order with Snus Central yesterday, no problems, 2-5 days delivery by USPS, low prices, no signature, no taxes, no hassles. I didn't even need to order more, I just felt like it. Just because I could, if you know what I mean. My freezer is full of snus and my closet contains a rather large box of dissolvable tobacco (Stonewall and Ariva). And yes, I use them all as they all work a bit differently and they all have a function in my daily rotation.

As for health issues, the others have already said it all: smokeless in the form of Swedish snus and American dissolvables is, for all we know now, the healthiest way to feed the beast of our addiction.

Teeth staining: everything stains your teeth, but nothing does it better than smoking, drinking coffee, tea, red wine, cranberry juice and eating the very healthy blueberries and beets. Snus (especially the white portions) is not very good at staining teeth, provided you brush and floss.

Snus and dissolvables saved me from going back to smoking and I will forever be grateful to the gals and guys on this subforum for their help and guidance.

Here's what works for me: I need some kick in the morning, that first cigarette with my coffee was the toughest one to abandon. Enter Thunder Frosted mini, 8 mg, while other minis range from 3 to 6 mg. This little pouch will center you and keep you focused for the rest of the day. Trust me. It often is too much for me so I have to take a break from it by simply removing it from my mouth and saving it for later (another thing that the Swedes do, I don't know about the Americans).;) Sometimes I start my day with an Ariva or a milder snus, but Thunder still is my best bet in the AM.

Then I just vape a little, snus a little, as needed.

Here's my (ladies') list of the best snus:

Thunder Frosted mini (the strongest in my arsenal)
General Mint mini white
Fellini mint
Fellini eucalyptus
Mocca pomegranate
Catch rhubarb (an oddity indeed)

I also tried the Discreet line, I think Peach and Strawberry are best, but it doesn't make me quite as happy as the top of the list snus.

Dissolvables are really handy when I'm out and about because they are more discreet and they dissolve completely so there is no little pouch to dispose of. My favorite dissolvable flavors are:

Ariva mint
Ariva wintergreen
Ariva citrus

Stonewall is way too strong for me, but I have plenty of it, so I just cut those little pellets in half.

Welcome and good luck. And thanks for rescuing animals. As a member in good standing of the USHS and the ASPCA, I salute you and your efforts.
