Fuck your son.

Appreciate the encouragement. I have s stress-filled weekend in my face and one can left. Im going to earmark this as my last can and start trying to stop on Monday.

Not so far, but cancer runs in my family so we will see. I have had the receding gums, but it is not a major issue.

I concur with the others - cold turkey and find a substitute. Toothpicks, wintergreen Lifesavers, etc. I dipped for for almost 25 years and it was hard to do, but you can do it. I have been off now for 3 years and I still miss it from time to time.

If none of the habit breaking stuff I mentioned in my other comment works, maybe just get a picture of someone who had most of their face removed due to cancer, keep that in your wallet and look at it before you have a dip. That will probably cut down on the urge pretty quickly.

Pay attention to your triggers. For me it was after hockey, after drinking, when I was driving, after meals and if I played xbox. Try to break the habits one at a time (or instance I stopped dipping on shorter drives first, then longer, etc. before worrying about not doing it after meals, with xbox and drinking the…

As lame as it may look, I would buy the disposable vape pens, and puff on that when I got a craving for dip. Eventually stopped dipping. Never really liked vaping so that didn’t stick. Had been dipping for 10 years, but will be dip free for 2 years.

Nicorette w a huge caveat: That shit is addictive as fuck and not as benign as you might think. I went on/off with cigs, dip, nico for years — often combining. I could abstain from cigs and dip and only chew nico, but it definitely increases your addiction/dependence on nicotine. Can make your breath smell bad…

Use the Nicoderm patch and/or nicorette gum. It removes the serious cravings and makes quitting much much easier.

Gum, seeds and trying to avoid places where you always dipped. Which, I will admit, is nearly impossible if you were like me - dip after a meal, dip watching tv, dip playing video games, dip in the car. There’s also different non-tobacco chew products that help, like Baccoff.

Sunflower seeds. Coffee beans.

The way I went about it was, first and foremost, get that wretched stuff out of your mouth ASAP. I actually switched over to Nicorette gum, which took care of the Nicotine and oral fixation. Rotate in some regular gum, ween down on the milligrams and chew some sunflower seeds. Thats what I did. But honestly, it comes…

There have actually been studies suggesting that a decrease in smoking rates can — paradoxically — increase medical costs, because people live longer.

[Wonders what happened to this country.]

And don’t even pretend kids aping ballplayers isn’t a real thing

don’t forget this expanded option on the new law!!!

Chewing tobacco is the only tradition for the Cubs older than losing.

Let John Lackey have his death by snus snus.

A clear win for the powerful Sunflower Seed Lobby.
