Well, this is pleasantly surprising.
I bought my two cans of generals and started with the mini mint about 30 minutes ago. They are really very cute little items, comfortable up there above my eyetooth, and just a very pleasant, mild, salty-mint taste. So simple. I've started to get a little lightly drooly but am dutifully swallowing (hush), which is not as counter-intuitive feeling as I thought it would be, and am enjoying a gentle, familiar nic rush. Perfectly ladylike. Cool!
I did expect to taste ugh tobacco but not at all. The tobacco store was awful, everyone chain-smoking and bellowing queasy cigar and pipe smoke, but this so far is a very elegant little item. After 3 years of vaping I've come to loathe tobacco smells and tastes - this is just a little sweet mint peppery niceness. Will keep you posted re effectiveness ongoing, but there's the buzz, all should be peachy. Vaping backup, actually might move toward replacement, we'll see, no stress.
So why isn't everyone either vaping or using snus? A rhetorical question, to which the obvious answer is, because Big Players benefit so royally from everyone self-destructing on increasingly revenue-laden cigarettes, especially if we throw some spare change around at regular miserable and unsuccessful intervals for patches, gum and pills that create whole new mental illnesses.
Thanks for the help, all!
Vaping was a miracle for me 3 years ago, and has been. Snus seems wondrous, too. The latter banned in Europe except Sweden and what, Denmark? And they're coming for vapes, of course. Such a dirty old world it is.
