I've never been a habitual smoker so I guess I'm lucky that I've never had that craving lurking in the background. I know my brother moved from cigs to skoal as a transition. Maybe ya'll could try that.



Dont try that, I'm hooked on kodiak.(same thing as skoal, diff brand). Several doctors have told me that the nicotene in 1 dip is equal to 10 cigarettes. Not a good way to quit, you're trading lung cancer for mouth cancer. I would give anything to quit. When I try its this horrible taste in my mouth, eyes kinda watering, aching all over and being sluggish, no energy. Then the headache comes and lasts for days. I have run out of dip at 4am before and looked like hell and still driven to any gas station that was open even if it was 100 miles to get it. When I was a kid I would get so desperate for it I would raid cookie jars, my old piggy bank, I would do anything for it. See the difference for me in cigs and dip was unreal. first cig was ok, but the first dip actually made me high. First few minutes of havin one you got light headed and dizzy lol. Kinda a Euphoria. But trust me, after about 6 months that goes away and then you're doing it cause you have to. Its no longer the cool thing to do with the guys when you get together. I spend probably 18 hours out of a day dipping. I even wake up in the middle of the night and dip, then go back to sleep. Heck I have even fallen asleep a time or two with it in. So please dont try to use dip to quit smoking. each dip will be like smoking 10 cigs all at once. Good luck. I'm considering trying it with you guys.

Edit:As soon as I finished typing this I didnt even realize I did it. I reached for the dip, packed it, and got me one.... All without thinking.
