Being the first to legalize pornography is cool and something to be proud of. Hats off to all Danish posters.

 

Snus is absolutely amazing!!!

 

Cigs have been cut by two thirds in less than a week...just don't want to light up.

 

Would much rather pop a General Onyx or Oden's ....or Jakobsens if I want some fruit flavor at the same time.

Snus is great. I'm able to stay off the cigs with it and as said it carries less risk for your health.

 

Only problem with snus is that nicotine addiction is even worse than with cigarettes but at least I'm saving my lungs. Wasn't there a study that shows that oral cancer prevalence in Sweden isn't any greater than in other countries even half of the Swedes use the stuff?

 

Didn't know that tobacco industry supported the ban but it was really one of those fucking stupid bans by the EU.

trooper,

 

Smoking cut by three quarters without effort. Just don't think about them. When I try real hard two cigs a day.

 

My favorite now is General Ekstra Sterk. As I can't speak Swedish I can only assume Ekstra Sterk means increased sexual performance due to having oxygen in the bloodstream from breathing clean air for the first time in decades.

 

shygye,

 

Thanks...a good link.

 

I hope everyone who knows someone who is horribly addicted to cigs mentions snus to them.

Camel is a new brand and I can see it's designed to US markets. Camel white is actually good, I have it now. My favourite is still General white.

 

Here in Finland it's just so stupid, I'm dependent on the friends visiting Sweden to bring me some so everytime I run out, I start smoking again or have to buy nicotine chewing gums. There is also a big black market for snus because of the EU ban but the prices are so high that I rather wait someone to bring me some from Sweden.

 

Giving up snus is not easy either, the nicotine addiction is great but somehow I've seen many friends doing it with much better success than those giving up cigs.

Hi!

 

General is definitely a Swedish brand but the spelling "ekstra sterk" isn't Swedish. I think it might be Norwegian. It means "extra strong". In Swedish the spelling would be "extra stark".

 

ALHOLK

 

P.S.

 

I have never seen it in Sweden.

trooper,

 

Camel snus in the US is a very low nicotine content brand. The Camel in Sweden is just a licensed name and much better quality and higher nicotine.

 

Next time you are in Thailand check out this new company:

I really wish this guy luck!

 

ALHOLK,

 

You are right. The Ekstra Sterk can says Norwegian Edition on it in really small letters.

To my taste it is the absolute favorite of all the brands I have tried.
