re: I've quit smokeless tobacco.

I dipped Copenhagen for probably 15 yrs, and quit dipping 8/07. I started doing the Nicorette mints. Figured its not the nicotine that kills you, its the other crap in it. Anyhow, I basically just switched habits. Never had teeth issues and 5 months ago I had to get 3 root canals and 7, that's right, 7 crowns. Needless to say, I have now quit the Nicorette mints as well and have not had nicotine in my system for 5 months. Quitting dipping was much harder than quitting the mints.
