Quit smoking cigs probably 4-5 years ago...maybe more or less. Honestly, it's been a while, and I forget.
Had a friend who used Camel Snus, and he got my going on that right when I was quitting. My appetite for cigs went to zero pretty much, since the pouches were a nice source of nicotine.
I would have a cig here and there, but they ended up being very gross to me after I quit the habit. Can't stand the smell of them now.
Dipped my toes into dip pouches shortly into the snus phase. Then I went all in with long cut. Did that regularly for a year or two. Wanted to cut back drastically, so the vice is now nicotine pouches and cigars. Still throw in a dip every once in awhile.
