re: I've quit smokeless tobacco.

38. Been dipping since 15.

I quit drinking and dipping for a year at one point in my life. I drink and dip now.

It was easy at that time to quit. Not so easy now.

I've quit for a few weeks or so. I'm currently using a two cans a week vs a can a day. It's a terrible and nasty habit but I love my snuff.

Quitters never win anything.






Good for you. Been trying to quit smoking. Hard as hell to do when you're offshore.

The best thing I've found for quitting is to go buy a can of the nicotine free dip like bac-off and mix it with a can of regular, then gradually transition to more of the bac-off then regular. It worked better than cold turkey for me...

It was going to be my resolution to quit, too. I've never kept one of my resolutions, though my uncle quit 5 years ago. When Obama passed that tax, he went to get a can and it doubled in price. He said to hell with it and hasn't dipped since.

I was in FL this past weekend and they had grizzly when you buy 3 cans for $4.10

I just paid $2.20 for one here in bammer

Wow

Been dipping for over a decade a can a day. Tried quitting several times and have been unsuccessful each time. Sucks to know that this will kill me if I don't stop. The sad thing is it's one of my few joys in life.

I didn't buy a can on the way to work this morning.

Regretting that now.

First off...Congratulations!
Takes courage and commitment to do that sort of thing!

Dad must have dipped since he was in HS...or before...I know he dipped when he was in 'Nam. Heard stories of him getting care packages full of Skoal. He dipped until he was 42. No cancer or anything. He never dipped in the house. Only outside. Never kept a spit cup in the house. He said he'd quit when he got out of the Corps in 1990. He never looked back after that. Wintergreen lifesavers was his help. I can't ever smell wintergreen and not think of him. Kinda funny how things work out that way.

He still buys the smoky mountain shite. I don't know if it's good or not. I've never dipped.
