Do you use other nicotine products?
 
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.

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!

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

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

Good point!

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

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. ;)

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.

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 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".

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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

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.
