Why can't people just stop dipping?

. My cousin won't stop. I sent him this article and his response was that he'll stop in 10 years and be 15 years in the clear. LINK

He lost more than 70 pounds, developed a staph infection that could have killed him, endured two bouts of pneumonia, a bacterial infection in his intestines and multiple excruciating flare-ups of oral thrush, and wrestled with depression that required hospitalization and therapy.
His scars are internal, imperceptible to the human eye, but his mouth is ravaged by 30 years of chewing tobacco. Even before his cancer was detected, Schilling had decimated his taste buds by dipping. The radiation and chemotherapy have since destroyed his salivary glands.
Schilling doesn't eat in public because he can't be certain that his windpipe will close properly. Sometimes food seeps into his lungs and leaves him prone to infection. Other times he chokes, coughs his meal back up, then starts over again. Dining requires careful, methodical chewing, reducing his food to a pasty substance, much like baby food. "I don't swallow normally anymore," Schilling explained. "I'm hoping I will someday, but not right now."

Well at least I'm not giving anyone else mouth cancer.

Cause I'm not a quitter.

Is your cousin a grown-arse adult?
Let your cousin make his/her own life choices.

It really is sad, but everyone has their own addictions.
I tried explaining to someone once that they should do without drinking for a year or leave their cell phone at home for a week always people claim those are "essential" not addictions. get real

for every shilling story there are many more who are in their 70s that have dipped their whole life and no issues. We all are going to die.. just depends on what gets you first

I quite 8/07. Still have the last can I ever bought in my car. Even after all these yrs, I'd be scared to take a dip for fear that that one dip would lead to another which would lead to a can, which would lead to a few cans and before I know it, I'd be buying a log once a week again. No thanks. Had a friend that has done it all (light drugs, drinking, smoking, dipping) said dipping was easily the hardest of all to give up.

I have a buddy who dips. He can go months without doing anything you ask him. Drinking, whacking it, etc.
But the guy has never gone a full week without dipping.
