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.
