Do you use other nicotine products?

[Scottastic]

Was just curious. I'm quitting cigarettes (13 days cig free!) and wanted to know what other's experiences were. I've already been surprised by the number of people who don't smoke cigarettes who enjoy cigars, so let's see a CA wide poll.

[Poronico]

Back when I was in high school I was a Copenhagen and Redman fanatic, grew out of dip and spit went tobacco free for 3 years and my bro in law turned me onto a Monte #2 and I was hooked!

[adampc22]

i use nasel snuff ALOT

[Darrell]

Cigars are it for me, cigarettes are nasty and dip made me dizzy the one time I tried it.

[G G]

Been dipping smokeless since I was 14 or so.

[WyGuy]

Used to do a LOT of chewing up until about 6 months ago, so they days it's strictly cigars.

Nicotine snuff?? That's new to me, is that a European thing?

[HK3-]

Smoked cigarettes for almost 15 years and every once in awhile when I'm with my friends back home I will chew. I really like the chew that comes in a twist like rope.

No more cigarettes for a little over 4 years now. :tu

[Zanaspus]

I've smoked cigarettes for 28 years now. :(

[TXRebel]

30+ years of smokeless tobbaco, now it is only cigars.

[T.G]

No option for pipes?

[Scottastic]

No option for pipes?

Good point!

I should include pipes with cigars, specifically as "luxury tobacco". Or however you want to put it.

[TheTraveler]

I voted Yes-Other 'cause I love my pipes too! :pi

Congrats to the OP for quitting cigarettes. :tu Be strong my man, be strong. It does get easier eventually.

[ZenSilk]

Cigars and the hookah still, I tried Snusing for awhile but just kind of fell out of it... I'm not much for nicotine buzzes, ironically. ;)

[Prozac_Puros]

Nope, just cigars

[Poronico]

I love my Hookah, its a nice way for people who don't enjoy cigars to come together and relate. I have a 3½ footer with a triple siphon all hand crafted and hand painted by some old school Persian lady.

[adampc22]

i also have a hookah

[Poronico]

i also have a hookah

yea but you smoke other things out of it... pot smokin turkey!

[adampc22]

[McSmokey]

I guess from that standpoint they are similar, but that's really about it. They are obviously very different in the manner in which they are used, the tobacco is handled & processed very differently, and the characteristics of the smoke are very different simply due to the way the pipe functions, even from pipe style to pipe style the same tobacco will smoke totally differently.

Anyway, I just see them as very different than cigars.

I voted Yes-Other 'cause I love my pipes too! :pi


I don't think snuff, chew and pipes belong in the same category any more than I think cigars and pipes belong in the same category, but from a semantic point of view, yes, you are correct, for this survey, pipes should probably be an "Other".

[adampc22]

I have no idea what you just said! LOL

hold you hand out flat like sombody was giveing u 5 dollers then make you other hand in to thumbs down shape :td put the end of your thumb onto the palm of your hand then move it fromm side to side in a screwing motion there u go :ss

[Dunkel]

December 4th will be 4 years since I quit smoking cigarettes. I smoke my hookah once or twice a week, I smoke a pipe in the late fall and winter only, and I use nasal snuff several times each day. Yes, I am a tobacco Olympian! LOL

I agree with you in a sense, but the way that I'm thinking about this poll (and it's really helping me, actually) there is a difference between tobacco for enjoyment and tobacco for nicotine.

This could be misguided (bordering on judgemental, but bear with me) but I see dip, cigarettes, and (I guess) snuff to be for the nicotine, whereas cigars, pipe smoking and hookahs to generally be for pleasure and recreation purposes.

Am I off base with this thinking?

Thanks bud!

[MajorCaptSilly]

Nasal snuff quite a bit and Snus every day.


MCS

[icehog3]

Used to chew Red Man and Skoal...now it's just cigars. ;)

[croatan]

I use snus occasionally, usually as an afternoon pick me up at the office (in fact, I'm popping a pouch in as we speak). And the occasional nasal snuff--though it messes with my sinuses if I over indulge.

[adampc22]

Thanks bud!

no wurrys mate what are brothers for lol

[GreekGodX]

I forgot that I do pipes too :bh

They have been neglected lately :(

Ok, now I understand where you are coming from. The poll makes more sense to me now, I was looking at it from a totally different perspective. Thanks for the explanation.

As for judgemental? I don't know, I've never tried dip, chew or snuff so I have no idea how their addiction cycle works. I suppose they are more of a nicotine based addiction than anything else based on what I've read in medical articles.

[GTCanuk]

Nope, just gars here

[jjirons69]

Nothing but cigars. Quit smoke cigs 13-14 years ago. Dip or chew always phucked me up too bad and made me drop a B line for the throne.

[Bubba - NJ]

When I was just a kid playing baseball I saw alot of the pro's chewing tobacco so I had said to my Dad something about wanting to chew . So one day he went over to our neighbors house who's nephew was in town for a visit and he happened to be a truck driver . He chewed Redman . So Dad had him come over and show me what to do . I took a pinch about the size of my thumb , placed it in my mouth between cheek and gums . Held it there for a couple minutes and then tried to spit . Got spit all over my chin and on my t-shirt . And then the burn started , spit the whole wad of tobacco out and tried for a while to get that nasty taste out of my mouth . Awful tasting stuff to me then . Never tried it again . Oh and my Dad and Larry were laughing pretty hard at me . Think I was about 12 at the time . To bad it wasn't captured on video , didn't really have video cameras back in 1979-80 like there are now .

[Snake Hips]

I smoke a cigarette now and then (2 a day at the heaviest) because I enjoy the nicotine rush occasionally and I enjoy smoking tobacco in general. Never could get addicted to it though. I enjoy clove cigarettes too.

Snuff (nasal) I use very seldomly, but it comes in handy on long drives when I'm tired. Never chewed in my life.

[T.G]

I enjoy clove cigarettes too.


Better stock up while you can then. As of the 22nd, all flavored cigarettes with the exception of menthol were banned.

[SmokeyJoe]

Cigars... period! :D

[Gunnar]

Well on rare occasiona I dip soe Red Man, but mostly I smoke a pipe f I don't have a Cigar to chew on..

[icehog3]

Wouldn't that make you option 4, Jamie?

[MrOneEyedBoh]

I used to pop in some skoal bandits or camel snus at work. But since I've started to smoke cigars, this is it.

[JJG]

ex cigarette smoker checking in.

It was actually cigars that got me to quit smoking cigarettes, and I didn't just replace one with the other. I didn't smoke at all for two months. Now I only smoke between 1-3 cigars per week, generally on Friday and/or Saturday.

[shvictor]

I've been Copenhagen free for 1 month now after 25 plus years. Now its just cigars

[Ashcan Bill]

Just cigars now.

Gave up cigs a few years ago. The last time I smoked a pipe must have been back in the mid seventies. Trying a pipe again has crossed my mind on occasion, but I think I'll probably stick to cigars from here on out.

[mariogolbee]

Smoked for 15 years but it was killing me. I stopped 3 years ago. Cigars are damaging also but I average 2 every 3 days rather than sucking 20 or so down in a day. Better for my asthma.

[Snake Hips]

Yeah, it sucks. I bought a bunch, but my B&M still has two cubes in the back room and will sell them to me for $1.99 a pack whenever I want them. Like I said I have one now and then, so I should be good for a while fortunately. But I'll miss them.

[jal]

I'm still fairly new to cigar smoking and I only do it on the weekends. I love it and am still testing the cigars to find the best.

Don't you mean: "Cigars and Arganese products only!!!"?

:D

[cashed ash]

first thing I smoked was a cigarette. That was back when I was like 15. I maybe smoked 5 packs of them in my whole life. But I always was interested in cigars. I have tried chew before and had a good experience with it. But I stick with cigars now days and I try to limit myself to no more than 3 cigars a week.

Cigars were harder to get when I wasn't old enough to buy tobacco because I didn't know anyone who smoked em. But It is all I am into now that I am 18.

[thebiglebowski]

good luck on quitting the cigs. i've been there, it's really hard to do. stay strong!

[OLS]

You are now as free as you will ever be. But you have to stay away from your triggers. Mine was weed. I quit very effectively
many times, and had no need to ever start up again. But if I ever went anywhere knowing that I would be smoking a joint or
taking home weed, I would get some cigs. One called for the other. 6 or 8 months of smoke-freeness down the tubes.
For many, social alcohol is the trigger. Could you stay away from it? That doesn't mean you will go back to smoking, but
you will be tested like you can't believe. Patches, gum...all that crap is useless. You only need to stop, and show some
backbone, and stay away from triggers for a while.

[BlackDog]

I voted "Yes, other products." I use nasal snuff several times per day, and smoke an occasional pipe, but mostly I smoke cigars. Never smoked a cigarette.

[cherrybomb]

keep it up Scott!! I have been cigarette free for 7 months now and it is easier than you can ever imagine. It is all a mental game. Pm me if you ever need any advice or support

[Savvy]

I've used most kinds of tobacco at one time or another...

Started smoking cigarettes in the military...quit after about 5 months as I found it rather pointless and I didn't really enjoy it, it was more of something I just did to get out of work for a bit and BS with some of the guys.

I chewed in the military as well. Did it at tech school, passed the time in the dorms with a dip in (broke a couple of the rules in the dorms...) again it was purely social. Quit after tech school.

I occasionally will smoke hookah with a few friends, but it's a pretty irregular thing. I'm not a huge fan, but I don't hate it either.

I've used snus. I kind of enjoyed it, and I may buy some more in the future...

I use snuff in the autumn/winter. I also talk my friends into trying it, most of them like it. I have to thank ReplicantArgent and ScottishSmoker for getting me into the world of snuff. I'll be ordering some more of it soon, seeing as its starting to get to be that time of year again.

I have a decent collection of pipes, and I usually smoke them in the cooler months. My piping has been kicking up again, and I like it :tu

Been smoking cigars for about the last three years. Had a lot of fun with it, met a lot of good people through it, one of my better decisions of things to do in the last three years. I don't intend to quit, ever. Although my smoking has dropped a bit since I've gone into the military, I still have a nice stockpile, and I very much enjoy the hobby.

[ucla695]

Why wouldn't I? ;)

[RightAJ]

Anything and everything!!! Gotta love the taste of a nice cheek or Red or a lip once in a while. Cigs a few times a week, and a pipe about every 2 or 3. What can I say? I love my tobacy ;)

Cigars are my thing though. The others are just when I can't have a cigar or I'm in the mood for them which is usually not too often.

aj

[gbum]

never smoke a cigarette in my whole life...
4-5 years back really into hookah...then totally stop ...even cant stand the smell...

get hook to cigar and never turning back..

[Sauer Grapes]

I voted no but I did smoke a hookah for the first time this past week.

[Labman]

No to cigarettes, chew baccy, and snuff...but, I have smoked a pipe before in the past. I haven't had a bowl in a long time...maybe I should spark one up again.

[tam]

I've cut back drastically with cigars because of where I live, then picked up with cigarettes. >_< I've done the e-cigs and they help with cig cravings (usually at work or driving.) I've never gotten to the pack-a-day smoker status so the e-cig is more of a toy than anything else. It's more of a e-hookah because the "juice" I have is fruit and "Red Bull" flavored. :su

[fyrftr]

I voted 'Yes, other products (chew, etc.). '

Cigars in the summer and the pipe when it gets too cold to smoke outside. Been smoking a pipe on & off for 'several' years. New to cigars this summer. Tried chew once. Never again!! Tried cigs for a week when I was in high school, didn't like it.

Tim L.

[Cigar_Noob]

umm Cigars and little cigars....thats it. I used to do chewing tobacco...and the occasional cig (which I'm replacing with little cigars) ....thats about it.

[wavescrashing]

I haven't smoked cigarettes in almost two years. I still use Cope occasionally, but other than cigars, it's mainly the briar and snus when I'm at work.

[kzm007]

Just bought my first pouch of Workhorse chewing tobacco. Kind of like it, but the oral cancer also spooks me a bit.

Starting in on pipes too, but chew is easiest for me indoors.

Grab some Redman Gold Blend or Beachnut... they're the best of the chew. They have that sweet, raisiny flavor :) Yum!

[kayaker]

I voted Cigars only, but really I used to smoke cigarettes a LONG time ago. I wasn't addicted though so I don't know if it counts.

I smoke a pipe on a very rare occasion but don't own my own.

Tried chewing tobacco a long time ago and didn't like it that much.

Good luck with quitting the coffin nails. :tu

[Barteur]

Voted cigars only, never smoked anything else. Don't we love these cigars:dr
