The app behind the guide
Everything on this site is written by the people who built SlutaSnusa. The articles explain what is happening. The app is what stays with you on the days an explanation is not enough.
Available for iPhone. Android is on the way.
When a craving hits you open the app and walk through it with a two-minute exercise. Breathing, water, or a walk on a timer. The craving ends, and next time you know it will.
A coach that knows how long you have been snus-free, when your cravings tend to come and what worked last time. You write like you would to a person, and the answer fits your week.
How long you have held out, what you have saved, and what has happened in your mouth and blood pressure since you stopped. Numbers for the part that otherwise just feels like nothing is happening.
Your call. Step down gradually and the app plans the tins per day for you, and moves the target when life gets in the way.
Log a pouch and you choose how to carry on, instead of a reset counter and a guilty conscience. Most people who quit do not do it on the first try.
Small things to do in the first weeks, and goals you set yourself - the drive without a tin, the match, the holiday.
You who just stopped and are in the hardest weeks, you who have set a date, and you who have quit three times before and want more than willpower this time.
The app is free to download and you can start without an account. Most of the content is included; a subscription unlocks the rest. No ads, and nothing sold on.
You do not need the app to read anything here. The whole guide is open, without an account and without a paywall.
