Trying to stop skoal

[Cooperant]

Quitting dipping by vaping seems counterintuitive to me.

Your Skoal brand also produces snus under the name Skoal bandits. This delivery system is much closer to your original delivery system and does offer health benefits compared to dipping.

ZYN is worth a try, it keeps the "stick it in your mouth and keep it there" element from snus but eliminates tobacco altogether. This is positive. Snus comes with downsides linked to the fact that it is made from cured tobacco, (stains on the teeth and irritated gums).

Another alternative is combining flavourless nicotine gum with a coffee flavored chewing gum. God knows why they don't simply make tobacco flavored nic gum.

Zyn does have nicotine but no tobacco. I believe they use nicotine salts. It is used like snus and the nicotine is absorbed via the mucus membrane like all the oral smokeless tobacco products. Another product is "ON". It is very similar to Zyn and also uses nicotine salts.

There are some products out there with no nicotine or tobacco that are claimed to help dippers trying to quit (that's the theory anyway). I don't know the names of that stuff.

Freebase and salts both come from tobacco unless it's synthetic nicotine which isn't true nicotine to begin with. Salts are made using freebase nicotine.

It's synthetic nicotine, or synthesized nicotine.

Nicotine is nicotine, in it's truest sense.

The nic salts I use is simply acid added to freebase.
