You are so right about the gum, and really any nicotine replacement therapy. I am reading a great book that I found in preparation for this quit, called Freedom from Nicotine - The Journey Home by John Polito. I will post the links in a new post today, but you can find the free download link by googling the title. Thanks for the post and good luck! RaeJean,

I want people out there to be careful about using the gum to stop another habit because it is highly addictive. I just wanted to post that I am day 6 with NO gum. I have finally quit the gum because I read on another blog that long term use causes hair loss. That is all I needed to hear and I was done immediately. Hang in there to everyone fighting an addition. You can overcome it. It is all a matter of CHOICE! You can choose to keep doing it or choose to stop. It is that simple. Good Luck and God Bless!

As I write this my mom is 62 years old and addicted to snuff. She is visiting for Christmas and over a two week time period I have watched her go through 8 boxes of Navy. I am sick to my stomach as I write this because she constantly complains about not feeling well but does not associate the poison she is in jesting to be the cause. You should see her teeth and I want to help her. What should I do? Matt, thank you for putting up this site. As I write this my mom is 62 years old and addicted to snuff.

I chewed Red Man for years until Red Man became too expensive. I soon discovered that all brands of snuff were much stronger than cigar leaf tabacco. With all chewing tabacco I felt light headed and on the verge of passing. A month ago I developed an afib and I emmediately knew the cause. I'm now experiencing a slow return to a normal rythum since I discontinued all forms of tabacco. I can relate to all posts above re: Copenhagen.

It feels great. I have been chewing Nicorette 4mg Fruit Chill gum. I can honestly say that I have not had any urges to dip, but have thought about it when I would do something that I would have a dip: ie. getting into the car, doing some work around the house. I had a 2 can a day habit. Like I said, it's been a week, and have been lucky not to experience all the horror stories I have been reading about. Good luck to anyone who's trying to quit. Be strong, you can do it! I have dipped cope for 34 years and have been off that stuff for a week now. It feels great. I have been chewing Nicorette 4mg Fruit Chill gum.

I had my first dip of Skoal when I was in high school and used off and on over the years. I am now 27 and for the past several years it has gotten increasingly worse. My product of choice is Copenhagen Long Cut. I go through about a can every few days. Like Tim in an earlier post I found your blog after searching how much nicotine is in dip. I am now one day clean. I look forward to reading your blogs as well as other people's comments to help me in my fight against the addiction. Hey Matt just wanted to say thanks for this website.
