The easiest way to quit is to not buy another can. It worked for me.
Help yourself.

Riverman, its not that hard and you're right. If you want to quit you don't need patches, gum or a 12 step program to quit. Its a one-step program to quit and its really that easy. Step #1 - Quit
The 'habit' is more difficult to kick than the jones.
When you stop and you've gone x # of weeks or months or years you will be like "man, what's all the fuss about"?
Just stop, that's all there is to it. Nothing more.

Don't dwell on the pleasure of dipping, think about your teeth falling out. Oral cancer- It can happen to you! Best of luck.

I quit 6 years ago for my birthday present to myself. Best one I ever received. When I quit I was up to a can a day. The way I looked at it was that every 4 cans was the same as a new MB-550 I could buy. Just think after 6 years I would be up to around 550 new traps.....

I quit 8 years ago. It ain't easy. Gotta stay with it through the cravings, the bad dreams, and all the other withdrawal symptoms. Still wish dipping snuff wasn't so bad for me and wasn't so dang expensive. A voice in my head tells me a dip would be nice every now and then.
I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man were to challenge me I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand to a quiet place and kill him.

Good assessment and good action plan Riverman. Making the decision is the hard part.

The nicotine devil is one bad mother. I quit Copenhagen many years ago and when I see someone dipping I still want it. If they told me I only had a year left I'd run right out and buy a case of cope and a case of Backwoods cigars. Good luck bro.
