i tried to redirect my nicotine addiction to vaping a couple of times, but somehow it seems there is a strong inflammatory reaction by my lungs to something in the vape which isn't nearly as bad when smoking.

(I'm not referring to the initial coughing many smokers experience when vaping for the first time, I am referring to a nasty, long lasting burning sensation of my lungs and occasional dry coughs)

recently I discovered "snus", a swedish oral tobacco product which comes in small pouches, which reduce the mess of chewing tobacco.

It provides a nice, long lasting nicotinic effect without 99% percent of the risks of smoking. it's also pretty descrete and opposed to vaping it is not regulated by airlines.

i recommend you to give it a shot, there is good manufacturers in the US aswell.
