OK, I have tried the herbal snuff and can't stand the stuff.
First of all I don't like sweet flavored snuff to start with and don't care for the gum either. Has anyone tried one of the alternatives that was decent?
Or is it just going to take good ole "cold turkey" will power?

HT, Smokey Mountain makes a fake chew in a brown can. From what I can remember, it is not sweet tasting but still nasty. I have been sticking to sunflower seeds. For an extra kick get the flamin hot ones made by Frito Lay. Bottom line, use what works best to keep the real stuff out of your lip. If you can stick for a couple weeks, you got it licked.

After 26-27 yrs of snuff I decided enough was enough when I found this post. I started quiting with the seeds and Trident wintergreen gum. You can suck on this gum and leave it in your cheek for 15-20 minutes before biting and getting the rush of wintergreen flavor out of it. That is what helped me. That and I just decided the price was ridiculous, had spit cups in every vehicle and room in the house. It has been 60 days now and i still crave it, but I am not going back. Its a hard row to hoe and it can be done. Just put your mind to it and quit.
I had started paying at the pump for gas. That way I am not tempted to put 4 cans of snuff on the card paying inside. My gas bill dropped quite a bit (just something to think about). Good luck.

HT, try signing in for roll call tomorrow and forget about the chew for a day. We will all be there.
