trying to quit chewing tobacco

[big_bad_buff]

I don’t understand some of you fellas. mostly the Copenhagen packers. I started on that stuff, chewed it for about a month just because my friend did, then I bummed a dip from someone with skoal and started wondering why I was chewing on the other dog shit. been chewing light(1 can every 2 weeks or so) for years. tried cope about a week ago and almost puked, it's so gross, it taste like coffee grounds that a dog shit out or something lol, plus it gets all stuck in your teeth ect...but yeah, I should quite as well, I honestly don’t even like it even more. I’m down to one chew a day just because I’m sick of it….oh yeah, it cost $9 something a can were I just moved lol

I was lucky I guess, i was chewing a can of Kodiac a day for about 5 years and one day I finished a can and tossed it and never wanted another one, had about 1/2 a log left in the freezer too. I have never had a craving until (honestly) I read this thread, now I want a chew bad, it will pass I am sure, but i would say quit cold turkey and hopefully it will be easy for you. Plus that shit adds up too, I was paying close to 100 bucks a month on dip!

Chew gum, pens, toothpicks, whatever to keep your mouth doing something...so oral hommage joke intended. The key is to just set your jaw and fucking do it. I tried to taper down and this and that. I tried about 40 times. I finally decided that I wasn't going to "try and quite" I was "going to fucking quite no matter what". I just got pissed off that I was being such a pussy about it. The first week is the hardest, but it gets easier after that.

i get about 10-12 lips out of one tin, how many ciggaretes is that equal to for nicotene? and doesn't nicotene fuck with your breathing?

I'm confussed. Around here a chew is that shreaded tobacco that comes in pouches. A dip is what comes out of a 'tin' can, such as Skoal.

Are you trying to quit dipping, chewing, or both?

I was thinking the same thing. lol. I guess I'm just used to seeing people do both.
