You posted one extreme case. That is hardly what most smokeless tobacco users experience.

I can quit..... I've quit at least 3 different times that I can remember.


seriously.... It's hard to do because I associate it with both high stress situations and leisure activities.
Stress.... need a dip
sittin on deer stand... need a dip.
watchin the game... need a dip
fishing.... need a dip.

I guess if I quit work and all my hobbies I could quit pretty easily...

If you continue to make his life decisions for him, he'll turn into an impressionable adult.

I've heard its harder to quit than smoking


No way. I've been addicted to both. The only way I quit smoke was by starting dip . Smoking is quicker and more convenient.

Yep. I have an uncle who is in his late 50s who has dipped his entire adult life. Teeth and gums are fine.

On another note, I've never understood how people could start dipping habitually in the first place. It tastes bad, the buzz feels kind of shitty, and you have to spit all the time.

I took my last dip on 6/18 of this year after 11 years of dipping 3-5 cans per week.

It's insanely difficult, and I am craving a dip as I type this.

Because you can't smoke anywhere. I would love for there to be a designated smoking area in TS. Until then, make sure to not knock over my spit cup with your flip flops on while going to your seat.

Although smoking and dipping are both pretty dumb habits to pick up due to the health hazards, I'd much rather see someone dipping than smoking. Take a dip, you have a self contained habit that you can enjoy without effecting me. Light up a cig, your habit is now invading my world.
