Ohh, heh never heard of it being called dipping. Well chew gum, i heard that helps, just knowing you already have something in your mouth apparently fights the crave/ idea to chew.

I used to do it, it was cool untill i heard that lil peices of fiber glass is what cuts your mouth for the nicotine to reach your blood stream :huh

u won't quit unless u want to quit... same things with drugs, alcohol, etc... if u tell urself to stop then u will...

it don't matter how many rehabs u go to... what ever counseling or ptachs u use... it matters that YOU want to quit... and untill u want to quit urself thats the only way its gonna happen...


thats or just go to work with my mom one day... she treats people with cancer and when i saw a guy missing half of his face because he chewed is the day i said never...

Try an internet search on cancer of the mouth and jaw, and the effects of chewing tobacco. That should provide all the motivation you need.

i heard you can with sugarless too

a couple of my friends were into drugs hardcore

pot
growing pot
acid
ectasy
dippin
all that stuff


friday, they got rid of all their pot, and like sunday they quit everything, wasn't getting fun to them anymore and they wised up and stuff

just chew gum one, day and don't think about it, thinking about stuff always messes it up, stay busy and keep your mind off of it and it'll do you good

I chewed for 4 years, good ol' copenhagen snuff........quite by chewing gum, lots and lots of gum. I would go through around 3 packs a day for the first couple of days. I'd say try that and have the drive to just quit. You are stronger than the urge, just say no, lol. Good luck.

How in the world can you dip with braces?
Dip has alot more nicotine than cigarettes. It's even more addictive, plus it will kill you faster. I've heard of people dying from lip/jaw cancer in less than 4 years of heavy chewing tobacco use. I'd just limit yourself to one dip a day, than back it off even more. Cold turkey works for some people but you really have to be motivated to quit that way. The longer you've been chewing, the harder it will be to quit. There's no trick to it, it's either you're over it, or your not. It' up to you my man. That sh*t is BAD for you!

I knew a guy in high school that had to get a whole tooth removed because it got poisoned from the chew. So you know what the dumb redneck did. He started putting the chew in the empty tooth socket for a better buzz.

trict_out,
I've heard that you're going to go through hell for the first 3-4 days (give or take). Once you get past those first few days, it just gets easier. Keep busy and keep your mind off of the dip.

Believe me, if you really want to quit, you will!

I smoked for 10 yrs. When i started racing and got my quad where i wanted it to be competitive all my buddies started bugging me about it. Then one day my little girl who is 6 said she doesn't want me to get a hole in my throat. I never picked one up again. I had the worst headache, would get hot/cold flashes, i even threw up. Couldn't sleep, then about a week later i was fine. Cold turkey is hard but you have to want it. I feel better on the track and i smell better. I have been single for about a year now and maybe that was why. Anyway, good luck, If i can do it, you can do it. I love my daughters and my racing so what better reason is there. Find one for yourself!!!! Good luck and im me if you need some support!

Its funny, one of my friends who used to smoke a pack a day, quit and started chewing. He said that all he has to do is get used to chewing, so he will quit smoking. Then he will quit chewing and stop doing both all together.(his theory) But now he stopped chewing and is back on smoking. Its confusing too why he thought of this process, but i thought id share.

I'm new here, but I dip (as if my avatar didn't give that away). Quitting chewing tobacco is hard. If you don't want to quit to begin with, then it is almost impossible. It's mind over matter. Those that say that dip is more dangerous than smoking are not correct. In Sweden, more people dip than smoke. The government over there has determined, although dip can have health risks, that it is 98% safer than cigarettes. I'm no doctor, but I have read that in several publications.

I work with a couple of guys that recently quit. They started chewing some "corn chew" which Wal-Mart sells. It comes in a regular sized tin, but is made up of corn or something. I chew Cope Snuff, dumbest thing I started in my life. My old man has chewed cope since he was 10. His 51 now, no signs of cancer yet. But he goes through a 10 pack log in 7 days, so it wouldn't suprise me if he does get it.

and I thought smokes were getting spendy, chew is $8 a can around here WTF?:huh

I used to spend $1.26 a can:confused: think I quit when it was almost $3

w/ smokes being $5 a pack its enough to make me think what I could do w/ all the $$, that and my health

Any of it isn't good for us and I'll give anyone the Congrats for quiting... just wish I could myself, the more I get on a mission to quit... the more I seem to smoke:rolleyes: :confused:

I got buddys that still chew and I'll snag a dip if its Copenhagen every once in awhile... but none of that other wussy stuff. These guys get sore lips and put it in the upper gum, or cheek. I remember the days of dead inner lip skin and all... but ppl sure look stupid w/ a wad packed in the upper lip haha:D

i'm trying to stop dipping... well at least slow down on it... and i told myself i was and i havent put a pench in in a week... i got real bad on it and did it every single day... but my mom found mine and i've just kinda slowed down on it... now i only do it aobut 1 a week or two

i've just found no need in doing it... if i want the taste ill go grab soem wintergreen tictacs or gum... or have a a cherry air head or soemthing... or if i want the buzz ill drink a lil bit... and be a lil safer...

i hurd 1 can of dip is about 60 cigs.... thats when i really started slowing down... becasue i always make fun of people when they have a cancer stick in there mouth and im not doing much better with that crap in my lip...

Are you addicted to the nicotene, or do you dip just because your friends do? If you are addicted to the nicotene, start chewing nicoret. If you dip because other ppl do, start eating sunflower seeds or chewing gum..

Also, for people under 20, 1 can of dip IS equal to 60 cigs. The acids in dip go into your stomach eve if you do spit. Kind of hard to imagine, but it's true...

Humm, quitting was pretty easy for me. I had a can 3/4 full, I decided one day on my way home from work I was done with it. So I got home and threw the can away. No big deal, I havent done it again since. Most of an addiction is in your head, and you just have to tell yourself you dont need it. Just dont buy anymore, and you cant dip anymore, its that easy.

Dam, that's the first I ever heard of a kid chewin' dip. That's not even cool, lol. Reminds me of in that movie I seen many many years ago at my grandmothers house, "Where the Red Fern Grows". The little redneck bought the stick of dip and took some for himself.

I think you should take up a new hobby, go roll up a blunt, has a much better after effect, and it wont cause cancer of the mouth as severe. :)
