On a call, my nicotine patch was the first 2 days,6 days now just herbal chew. I quit once for 3 years,and like an idiot,I started again. This is my final,no turning back point. Anybody can quit,you just have to figure out what works. I could not just quit cold turkey. My body is used to it and has for 30 years plus,can't just quit without some withdrawls. The patch works because you wean yourself off of the tobacco in your mouth,you still get the feel with the herbal but it isn't destroying the gums. This system works well.

Just spit out my last pinch. My quit date is tomorrow. I may start early and be done for the night! (Unless someone happens to stop by and offer me one last cancer filled, fiberglass ball of worm dirt wink

I would say "good luck" to anyone wanting to quit or in the process of quitting, but you don't need luck. You just have to want it bad enough. If you want to quit, you will. If you want to better yourself, then you got to own it, and stick to it. I will say good luck to the lifers though. I was in your shoes at one point. I used to tell myself that I would never quit and I would just deal with the consequences. One day it just hit me that its time, and boys, Its been real.

You can do it!! I Chewed snuff, and loose leaf for 30+ years, I NEVER even thought about quitting. 2 yeas ago, I decided it was time. December 16th I took my last rub. I did use the nicotine lozenges for a week, found I didn't need em. Honestly, it was one of the easiest things in the world to do. Once you make up your mind it's simple. I will also admit there are times I would like a dip, but I'm not willing to compromise what I have done so far. I also made a deal w/ myself. I didn't quit forever, since I dipped / chewed for 30 years, I'm only quiting for that long.

Stick w/ it, you can do it, and you will appreciate it once you do!!!

The ignorant thing is, I'm not even considering quitting because of the health risks......it just seems dumb to me to continue spending $50 a week on something I can no longer taste to enjoy.....essentially the last year, I've been doing it out of habit and need for nicotine....can should run out right after tomorrow mornings coffee, maybe I'll jump on this bus and give it up

I did Copenhagen for 20 years, can a day for many years. I quit cold turkey over 10 years ago. You have to want to quit. Anyone who "tries to quit" is sure to fail. There is no try to it, just QUIT. Good Luck,You can do it. One day at a time! I walked around with my tongue in by bottom lip to fill the void for a long time.

I downloaded an app on my phone that gave me daily totals on the money I saved to date. It asks you how many cans you chew a day, and the average cost of the can. I really liked dipping, but I like my money and my health more. Food tastes better, your not picking skin out of your mouth in the morning, and you feel better. You'd be shocked as to how much you spend on chew when you get a daily reminder, I know I was. Good luck to you, it's a great feeling when you no longer crave one.

My last dip was March 5....worse decision I ever made haha! Not really, but I'm still in the "life really sucks" stage. I can't really sleep since I quit and I'm irritable and achy, but as I look at my son, I know it's the right thing because he really does want to do EVERYTHING that dad does. Both of my kids started spitting all the time around age 1 and I knew exactly why......


Success is easy, it just comes in the form of a dirty 4-letter word called work!

Those that have quit, does your gums ever heal, soreness go away, and taste come back?

The 1st 3 days you'll be picking dead skin out of your mouth, I did at least. Taste came back in a week or so, no soreness, and the gums seem fine. The first 3 days were the hardest. After a week the smell of chew seemed gross and it was over after that.

August 1st was my last day, after 9 or 10 years "on the can". I am proud I quit ! You will be too. It's tough, but just quit and be done with it.

Altoids and ice breaker mints can be helpful, just so you know.
