Jesus, just have some intestinal fortitude and quit. Is 7 min/cigarette off your life worth a 5 minute break sucking ash?

Here is what you do:

Anytime you want a cig or a vape you slap yourself in the face. Cold turkey. Fastest way to get over it. Rip the bandaid off.

Did the “easy way to stop smoking” audio book. Listened to it over 3-4 days and haven’t had a smoke in close to 5 years.

Sounds like you are mentally ready to quit which is necessary. The book does a nice job helping you realize that you aren’t addicted, but have been conditioned to believe that.

Not smoking, but smokeless tobacco. ‘Ole sawbones told me I was gonna die really soon, so I quit. Just quit 5-6 yrs ago, no pills, no vaping. Just quit a 40 year habit cold arse turkey, ‘cause I didn’t want to die…


I am curious how someone dies from dipping.

They used to have a few billboards around with that dude with half a face because the dip did something.

I found out later that the cancer rate from dipping is lower than the cancer rate from eating pussy.

The main problem is losing your gums then teeth.

I'm 15 months dip free so not trying to defend it (also not trying to be an arse) just wondering if there is some actual science behind it killing you.

Me too. When I get older I will start again. Say 80+?

Without reading the thread, I can tell you that I quit by using patches. I did two at first and then one and then I forgot about it.

I apologize if Chantix is the same as patches. I actually don’t know.

I didn’t mean to insinuate that smokeless tobacco was the only issue. Tobacco use is a major cause of heart disease and can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

If the doc ever tells me I have 6 months to live I'm blazing one up.
