Ever see the pic's of the guy that had his lower jaw amputated because of cancer caused by chew?????

So a "can" is the same as a daily payment to a 300,000 $ house payment, so after 20 years you have spit your house away.

Cant believe this thread is 24 pages long.

Been since March 2016. Coming up on three years. Getting through the first trapping season and in the fur shed were the hardest. Now I don’t even think about it even when someone around me dips. It is very liberating to be free from it. I didn’t realize how much control something like that can have on a person.

i smoked a cigar when i was about 3-4. dad thought it would make me sick but it didn't. i liked it. when i was about 8 my uncle gave me a chew of days work plug. thought it would make me sick. it didn't. grampa smoked bull durham. liked to see my mom get mad when he tossed the bag to me and told me to roll him a cigarette. i liked it. when i was about 12 i started smoking. was earning my own money. thought the Marlboro man on tv was pretty cool. i didn't smoke constantly cause i had to hide it from my folks. by the time i was 15 they had gave up and i didn't hide anymore. when i was in my mid 30's i would cough every morning till i had a few cigarettes . daughter was in 3rd or 4th grade and came home crying. said they told her at school smoking would kill you and she didn't want me to die. i couldn't hardly tell her they were lying so i quit smoking. didn't quit the chew though. i like levi garret. gave that up last febuary. i still i miss it some but not near as bad as i did in march.

Nearly 9 years since I had any tobacco.

The Hardest Part is the first 2 weeks.

Dipped for 31 years. All day. I'm almost 5 months tobacco free.

It sucked but had been worth it.

And I do love not spending all of that money.

Congrats to all that quit.

I grew up in the north and we never did gross things like this uppa north.

I never started dip, drinking or smoke

I saw what it did to family

When its my turn to die, if I have time to reflect and know I'm down to just days or months, I think I will start chewing again. I still think about it pretty regular.

My last was a flavor that was terrible to me

I forgot I posted on this thread. I am glad to say it is now 8 years since I smoked.

One time I quit for a year by eating a whole can of Skoal wintergreen. A year later, I realized I could just change from wintergreen (the flavor I ate) to Skoal straight. At least it worked for a year. It only took 16 more years to quit.

Good luck to ya! As noted, just don't buy anymore of that crap poison.

For everyone on here that has that habit or smoking and want to quit I wish you the best. Fortunately I don't have either of those habits. My parents were both heavy smokers and died at 64 and 65. I tried both chewing and smoking as a teenager and thankfully it never took hold.
I cured chewing by switching from skoal bandits to copenhagen one day because the guy I delivered feed with chewed it. I think I threw my guts up that day. Never chewed again, so i take that as a win looking back on it.

The advice in this thread is solid. I quit chewing after 9 years in early October, smoked for 15 prior to that. Just have to quit and the first 2 weeks are the hardest just as it's been mentioned many times on here.

Good luck to everyone trying to quit.

Been quit about 2 months of so.
I think it started when my ulcer got fared up.I
Kinda lost my taste too, civic I guess, and it
just didn't bother me to quit. I had dipped.for.around 7 or 8 years.
Smoked for.around 20 or so before that. Ain't really missed it.at all.
Got more money for bullets, powder, and still cant.afford.primers.when
I do find'em...lol

30+ years for me. Quit 6 years ago. How much does a can of Cope cost these days?
