Snus Update .....

Just Un Fucking Real!

I'm sat here, enjoying my penultimate 'Baggie' (" Portion ") of Snus. I have just one left in my tub. Shit. And, with that, I just poked a 25g pouch of Golden Virginia into my bod' warmer pocket. God help me if I found myself in town and without any Snus tomorrow!

Fact is? By tomorrow afternoon, I'll be smoking fags again. What a fucking Drag! I'm really, seriously pissed off about it. Back in the old routine. My energy levels will drop, again. I'll be furtively sneaking from shop to shop, place to place. Trying to suck sustenance from half a roll up, before clipping it and dashing around the next place on my itinerary.

Since 18:00, Friday, November 6th, this year I've tasted Freedom! Tomorrow I rejoin the herd. I'll have run out of Snus.

For now, anyway. Because, today, I put in an order for €50's worth! If that can get here by the weekend? Dean O' and I are in for a regular little Snus Fest! We'll be falling upon the wide and rich variety I've ordered and sampling as much as one can in an evening or so.

If not? I'll be Praying for the phone to ring on Monday ..... some guy from FedEx asking me where the hell I am!

Let me make this easy for ye, people: I've been a case hardened smoker for forty years. I'd sooner die that suffer the withdrawal symptoms of trying to 'Give Up'. (They say we're more addicted than Smack Addicts! What hope have we?!)

I smoke a gram of tobacco per hour. 25g pack, at €8.50 lasts me about 24 hours. Effectively? Two days.

Single tub of Snus, costing about €2.50, max', has lasted me Three and a Half Days.

I can't count. But, even I can see that's cheaper than shit!

On top of that, there's been this feeling of freedom. I go in pubs, travel in taxi's, eat my dinner, wander through shops. Never once bothered by the urge to get the fuck out and get one sparked up.

Best of all? I'll be back on the fags by the time ye read this. So what? Doesn't overly bother me. Just a passing inconvenience. Because my Snus supply will be here soon. I'll suss my favourites and order a rolling stock of those.

And, I now know; The moment I have another tub of Snus in my pocket? I can just breeze out that door and not even care about 'A Smoke'.
