More and more countries are enforcing a ban on smoking in public places. Almost everywhere this ban is first met with great skepticism but after the ban has enforced most people prefer the smokeless alternative. People seem to like not to reek from smoke after a visit to the pub. Not very surprisingly if you ask me.

  In Sweden the smoking ban was introduced in 2005. What happened in Sweden was that a lot of the smokers started to use snus when they went to pubs and restaurants since snus was unaffected by the ban on smoking.    

 For most of these smokers it was easy to make the switch from cigarettes to snus and it was mainly portions snus these smokers chose. Many of them started using snus even when they were at places where smoking was allowed since they discovered the benefits of using snus instead of cigarettes.

 This increase in snus usage was something that the non tobacco users also appreciated since they were less exposed to second hand smoke after the ban was enforced. One of the benefits with snus is that is doesn’t bother any one else. This is not only a good thing for the people around the former smoker, but it also makes the former smoker feel better since he isn’t doing harm to anyone else and since he will get a lot less angry looks from people who don’t smoke. For more info about why I find snus better then cigarettes visit this site.

Snus is a very Swedish thing, or at least it was since snus nowadays is found all over the world. People from all layers of Sweden’s society are using snus. Even the Swedish king is using it. So it is a royal product in a way.

Catch is a snus brand I really like a lot. It is regarded as feminine than other snus brands and it was actually the first brand without a typical tobacco taste. Instead of a typical tobacco taste it tasted of licorice. Catch has only excited for about 25 years but it has become one of the best selling brands on the market today. Especially women like and use this brand.

Catch has a brand version of the brand that is called Catch Collection. Catch Collection changes over time and at the moment it is called Catch Collection Violet Licorice. Catch is also available as Catch Eucalyptus White Portion, Catch Licorice White Portion, Catch Licorice Mini Portion, Catch Dry Licorice White Mini Portion and Catch Dry Eucalyptus White Mini Portion. Take a look at this site for more information on Catch snus.

I have a friend that only uses Catch Licorice Mini Portion. She says that she likes the licorice taste and that it’s making the snus taste very fresh. Personally I like the Catch Eucalyptus White Portion the best. But I also really like the currant Catch Collection.

I used to smoke cigarettes. I used to smoke a lot. That always got me into trouble. At the place were I used to work I was the only smoker. And you can imagine that my smoking breaks were not very popular. If we were having long conferences I always had trouble concentrating after a while due to my smoking habit and the fact that I could not smoke. Of course the non smokers that surrounded me had little sympathy for my tobacco cravings.

 When we were traveling it was the same thing. Several hours on a plane are quite troubling for a smoker. And again there were no sympathy from my fellow co-workers. Long dinner parties were also difficult for me to attend since I had trouble being without cigarettes for such a long time. The same thing happened when I was at a pub or a bar where smoking wasn’t allowed.

 But one day I could leave all of these problems behind me. It was the day I discovered snus. We were going in to a meeting and a newly employed person called Anna was going to attend the meeting. At the conference table just before the meeting started she pick up a small blue can from her purse, opened the lid and pulled something out and put it in her mouth. I could see that she was adjusting what ever it was she had put in there with her tongue. It was of course a portion snus she had put in her mouth.

 After the meeting I asked her what it was and she told med that it was snus. In fact she told me that it was Göteborgs Rapé Mini White Portion. She showed it to me and asked if I wanted to try it which of course I wanted. And since that day I have never gone back to cigarettes.

 But I still wanted to cut down my tobacco intake. Luckily there was a snus product that was perfect for that and that product is nicotine and tobacco free snus. Some of these products have really helped me to cut down on nicotine. I still use snus, but now a limit my nicotine intake to a level that I choose myself.
