Dipping

So nasty. Just sayin

One of my buddies just went through throat and mouth cancer due to dipping. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Good luck with quitting.

Look up pics of mouth cancer. They take the jaw and part of the face off in surgery when it's bad. Most severe cases end up as suicide. That's the bad part.

The good part is when you quit and really break the nicotine addiction and the physical habit to moth habit, you will have the greatest high you can ever imagine. You would be amazed how good a person could feel!!!! It's totally worth it.

I told my kids that at the end of their lives when they look back, they would realize that only the hard things they had one would have made a difference. They easy things would not matter.

Good Luck.

Yeah, you need to think about whether or not you will regret it if you got mouth and salivary gland cancer. That's the sort of thing where you likely won't get out lightly. After they remove the salivary glands, lymph nodes and the cancerous part of your jaw bone and soft and hard pallet, you're likely to have a hole there that will require a facial prosthesis to look presentable. And if it spreads beyond that, you know what that means.

I'd recommend going to Walmart and getting a couple of those round containers of Mento Tropical Fruit sugarless gum. You can get hooked on those with few adverse effects.

I quit 6 years ago and still have to stop myself from buying a can occasionally. It gets way easier after the first month. After the first 6 months it's an old afterthought. Every now and then you'll catch yourself doing something like working on the car or watching football at the house by yourself on a friday outside and catch that urge again. It doesnt happen much and passes quickly. Get through the first month.

I got fat and no longer have that 30-45 minute break on a long day/night of drinking, but tell the man what you want I could start again tomorrow and be a can every 2 days guy again in a week easy.

When I quit it sucked arse. Still occassionally sucks a little bit. My fiance told me that if I hadn't quit before I met her she probably would have turned down the 2nd date. So it's either the best or worst thing I ever did, yet to be determined

After the first month it was easy for me. I'm extremely happy and grateful that I was able to kick it.

You can do it. It’s gonna suck but it’s better than what the alternative is. I was in the same boat, about the same start age and stop age. Can of Copenhagen a day, kept the demons away. Good friend got mouth cancer. I watched him go through all the treatments and surgeries... it was miserable on all of us but more on him obviously. Last time I saw him alive was LSU/Bama game about 5 years ago as he was home from MD Anderson. As I talked to him with a dip in he said “dude you should quit. What i am going through sucks”. I spit it out and threw the can with right in front of him. It sucked for me but I kept thinking of him and I didn’t want to go down like that. Put your mind to it, you can do it.

Why quit? More studies it than not that you basically have the same chance to get a mouth cancer as a non smokeless tonacco user. Enjoy

I quit smoking after watching my brother, who was nine years older than me die of emphysema. I was smoking 3 packs a day when I quit. Went cold turkey. If I can do it, anybody can. Just imagine the person you love most lying in bed barely able to breathe.

Good luck man! I've been off it for almost 8 months. No more cravings and I did Copenhagen for 15 years!
