Just one excellent but of advice here: don’t go Nicorette route. Was super addicted to skoal and cigs forever. Switched to gum and just kept rotating the three for years. Thought gum wasn’t too bad for you—it’s awful. Jaw pain, fuckd your gums up, can make your hair fall out and gives you bad breath. Addictive as…

For me? Find a friend to quit with.

Chew on a pen.

Not the same, but I quit chewing tobacco cold turkey. It was hard, but I had tried gum/lozenge a few times to no avail. It took shorter than I had anticipated but I sure get the urge every now and again.

I used a vape (in the privacy of my own home, not like an asshole) with lower & lower amounts of nicotine & then just stopped using that when I was done. I also smoked way more weed. But it’s been over 2 years now & that was the only thing that worked for me, gum & patches didnt touch it. Good luck to you!

Snus (Swedish snus, not the gross American candy—General white portion is my brand and you can get it at a lot of decent tobacco shops and even 7-11 here in Philly) worked for me.
