For the smokers

[titleist1]

I opened this up thinking it was going to be somehow related to diesels!!

I hope it works out for you stepping down the nicotene towards being able to quit...

Some added incentive.....the cigarette money saved can be spent on cub's!!

I tricked you into looking. yes as far as saving money goes it cost me about 45 bucks a week to smoke so hopefully I can start spending that money elsewhere.

I feel for you guys who smoke and are trying to quit. I got lucky and tried cigs when I was kid and didn't like it and never picked up another one since.

Ime quitting smoking is easy compared to quitting chewing tobacco or snuff as it's called. I started chewing when I was 13 I will be 42 next week. I smoked more in my younger days running around and drinking. Still smoke from time to time when I go visit with buddies at their shops and hang out bs and throw a few drinks back , fry up some fish. I need to quit , may someday . It's tough though. I grew some tobacco for the firstime this year, haven't gotton around to making any chew yet. The tobacco is dry. All in all good luck to you , hope it works for you!

Hope you all get what you're looking for, to eventually stop smoking. For me it was easy to stop the smoking habit. Started when I was 15 until I hit 22....then went to chewing Skoal
Now 30 years later I'm down to pouches where do I go from there? Only took 30 years to get to these. To stop the dipping, chewing whatever you call it is real tough. Made a day one time, about jumped out of my skin, crawly, sweaty, grumpy, oh real grumpy. Eat, eat, eat, wife picked a can up on the way home from work, said "you're much easier to live with if you're chewing, here kill yourself".
Well, I'm still alive.
Sorry to jump your thread Tim, but has anyone successfully stopped dipping?

It was much easier for me to quit chewing then it is smoking. I can go months without a dip. Only about a day without smokes. Started out smoking/chewing when I was 13. 26 now and im on edge if I go without

I had a friend quit chew a few years ago, he did it by chewing a lot of gum and I mean a lot.

I quit the cigs 14yrs/50lbs ago. I used the patch for 2 weeks and I chewed gum(and some hard candy) like it was going outta style, even kept gum in the shirt pocket the cigs were always in. Bought gum everyday at the convenience store, finally after the nicotine habit was gone it was easy to quit the gum-all the sugar was starting to give me a cavity. First week to a month was the worst, after that you got it licked. Worst part is the weight gain, man, do I eat now...
You can't smoke anywhere now it seems, at the airport Dad had to be 50ft from the doors to smoke.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gained about 40 or 50 pounds when I quit smoking a couple years ago.

I have. I chewed Skoal wintergreen for 15 years. Had the same reaction as you did Todd when I quit. Just gave it up after a friend of mine lost half his jaw, hate to tell the horror stories but that's it. I never turned into one of those people who used to do it and now talk bad about those who do, it just scared the crap out of me. Used to smoke too, marb reds. Have to say that quitting the chew was harder for me. Lots of nicotine in the old chew, and the rumors of the ground up fine glass to make sure it goes right to the head, not going to say I don't miss it but I feel for you guys trying to quit, lots of triggers out there that make you want to have a smoke or dip, btdt
