Any dippers out there?

I dipped Copenhagen for 20 years...Then I watched my dad die of throat cancer at the ripe old age of 56.

 

Yeah...I quit cold-turkey.

 

What really sucks is he didn't dip, chew, or smoke. Heck, he didn't even drink. He was an uber health nut.

I also dipped Copenhagen for 16 years (regular, not the long cut or the other special varieties). I tended to dismiss all the cancer warnings, since I'm fairly fatalistic about life- if I'm gonna die, it's gonna happen, just about anything can cause cancer, yadda, yadda. The thing that really caused me to quit was when I noticed severe receding of my gums around one of my teeth in the area where I usually put my pinch of snuff. The thought of being a toothless old snuff-dipper just doesn't seem all that attractive to me, so I quit about 3 years ago now, and haven't looked back since. :cheers:

Never got into dip thank god :cheers: but did get hooked on smoking unfortunetly but threw the pack down dec 20th of last year and have not looked back!With the money i save every month from not smoking it pays over half my truck payment every month not to mention my truck still smelling nice and new and not like s##t like a smokers car or truck does!

 

The only way to quit is to throw them away, this well ill just cut back every month stuff is crap if you want to quit cold turkey is the best way period and also the cheapest!

I did have help- I used Nicorette gum. But I didn't have to follow the instructions on the packet back as far as how many pieces of gum x certain amount of time or for the number of months they called for. I found the gum worked well for my cravings, but I finished in just over a month.

It's been 6 weeks to the day since I had my last cigarette. Never had a craving since I put them down but I do dip now and occasionally did before I quit smoking.

 

I was dipping Skoal Long Cut Straight but that's a little pricey. Now I'm into Red Seal Long Cut Natural. Pretty good for around $3/can.

Chew gum. That's how I quit smoking. I still chew a lot of it, but it is healthier and cheaper than smoking and dipping.
