Quit smoking and dipping 3 years ago and the dipping was way harder to overcome. I used the gum and the mints. The mints helped more but I was a cranky SOB for about two months. Wife understood but it really was hard as hell. Since I have quit, I feel better and gums have gotten better over time. Before I quit, my dentist told me that my gums were receding and my mouth looked like shite. It has taken 3 years for good reports on gum and overall mouth health. Obviously, it can effect everyone on a different level but I think I was probably heading down a bad path cancer wise.
1 pack every day or two and at least 3-4 cans a week. It really sucks but I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
ETA: Even 3 years later, if I smell cope long cut or any wintergreen dip, I start drooling. That shite still has me having cravings but I have gotten used to just not doing it.

Chantix is the way to go. I dipped from 16-19 and then started smoking. I quit around 30 but last 3-4 years of smoking did 2 packs a day and I absolutely loved coffee with my smokes. Had to give up coffee for about 2 months after I quit smoking. Chantix made me literally not want a smoke and I never had any side effects from it. As far as crazy dreams, I had those the times I tried quitting cold turkey also. I think the dreams are more from withdrawals than the chantix.

Chantix
Was on the verge of buying Chantix after the first few weeks were really tough. But I just stuck with it and kept chewing the gum and putting 2 or 3 of those mints in every 30 minutes or so. The mints really helped a lot even though I was taking 2 extra every hour or so for the first month. The mood swings were very real.

There is no safe level of tobacco exposure - period.
Your cancer risk with snuff (or chewing tobacco) is going to vary with lots of things, including your genetic predisposition to get cancer.
Switch to gum.

I watched smoking cigs kill my grandmother at 66 years old and it still took me 3 years to quit.

Chewing tobacco (dip) does not damage your lungs in any way but it can cause;
-Oral cancer
-Esophageal cancer
-Heart cancer
-Gum cancer
-Oral lesions
So yes, dip does increase your chance of cancer

Who knows? One guy can smoke cigars for 70 years and not get cancer, while another smokes only a pack a week and is dead at 45. Best option is to not do it at all.

I think there is a brand that is tobacco free but has nicotine. Fully loaded is the name.

Thread bumps of 1+ months old, let alone 3 years old should come up a different colored font on the main page.

Is dipping the pouches vs the real thing any less bad at all? I know they’re generally pretty close to the same

I don’t use tobacco but there was a study out recently I read where they found smokeless tobacco users had no higher incidents of oral cancer than non tobacco users.
