I chewed for like 2-3 year when i was in the corps. It kept me awake and was a quick jolt of energy. I wasn't doing 2 cans a day, but 1/2 can of Cope Longcut or black a day. I really knew i had to stop when i saw my gum lowering compared to the other side. My SSgt, who chewed 2-3 cans per day had to go in for an x-ray or something to get checked out for cancer. His lip look mutated from all the chewing.

Seeing all that, plus seeds helped. I carried seeds on me all the time when i stopped. I'd pack'em in my cheek like redman.

sunflower seeds helped. you just really wanna quit. I got grossed out myself, and I was tired of carrying an empty bottle to spit in.

dude, ever mix up your spitter and your soda? I did one time, and almost vomited all over the floor of my barracks room.

I quit for 6 months once after I got the flu...then one day bummed a dip from a co-worker and was at the store at the end of the shift to buy a can. 2 cans a day is alot...I usually go though a can every 2 days.

Started in the Corp and at one point was up to 2 cans a day. Quit for about 4 years and started up again about 3 years ago. Same here...gums started to go.Tried cold turkey but wasnt working.....so i started using those new Camel snuss packets in the upper lip instead of dip.

The snuss really helped me taper down my use and i dont even crave dip anymore. Still use the snuss...but maybe 3 or 4 a day.Some days none...dont crave it anymore...more of just habit when i put one in.And the spitless part is really nice too. By no means is it safer but it helped me kick the dip habit.
