re: Do you ever want a dip or chew years after you quit??

I have not smoked a cigarette in 50 years. Sometimes I can close my eyes and perfectly taste how good a cigarette was.

20 times over the years, I have though, "I think I'll smoke one and see if they were as good as I remember.

Ok that’s disgusting and how you get throat cancer

Fun fact: eating pussy is the leading cause of cancer for men under 40.

Does that stop anyone? frick no.

I talked myself into not worrying about cancer, that the risk was low, etc. And it is, relatively speaking. It's better than smoking for sure.

But you're still a slave to it. "Life: it's the stuff that happens between cigarettes." Applies to dip too.

From then until now the smell or sight of someone else dipping makes me want to vomit. I think it is a revolting habit and wish someone would have forcefully told me early on how disgusting it was when I was actively doing it. Realizing how gross it is for other people (wife) is what helped me finally kick the habit.

This is how I felt after I quit. I was a 1 can a day person. Now I'm convinced if I dipped I would throw up.

I dipped in HS then started smoking in college. Averaged 2 packs a day for probably 12-13 years. Chantix was only way I quit. Occasionally after a big call at work like a fire or something I’ll bum a dip or a smoke. I miss morning cigarettes with coffee during winter months more than anything. The smell now bothers me, I can smell it all the way across a parking lot now. Feel bad I use to put people through that granted I was pretty courteous and always walked away to smoke but still.

I quit cold turkey almost 22 years ago. Still want one almost every day. If I ever put another one in my mouth, I’ll never quit again.

I’ve never been big into tobacco, just smoked the occasional cigar with friends celebrating something, but very occasionally I’ll be in the middle of a cup of coffee and have a strong craving.

If that can happen to me, no more than I’ve ever used it, I can only imagine how hard the struggle must be for those who were truly on the horse.

Do you have any idea how ignorant that sounds?

Started in highschool. Kicked it once for a couple years then came back with a vengeance. At least 2 rolls a week which was like 200 bucks a month. Found small spot on tongue and freaked. Cold turkey that day and never looked back. But I think about it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
