    You're not drinking enough beer.

    Hell, I've tried to quit probably 5-6 times. Hopefully it'll stick this time, I'm going to do my best. Been over 3 weeks and all is well.

    Man, you've got it beat. It's all mental now. I can't tell you when that craving will stop. I still have them every day. I just understand that the near death experience will pass after a minute or two.

    I quit in 2000. Used the mint stuff for about 5 months then dropped it.
    The mint snuff was kind of good and it killed the urge to have a dip in my lip. Which I believe is half the battle.

    Going on 8 years for me. It still grinds on me. Not while I am fishing or working around the place, but when I am idle. The drive home after a good day of fishing. Or, sitting on the back patio watching the sunlight fade away. The craving are still present this many years later.

    Good Luck !!!

    Good luck. I would wake up and get a dip every night around 2-3am.

    You can do it. First week the was the worst and I loved Cope long cut for over 20 years and quit cold turkey. It was very, very hard but after day 14 it wasn't as bad. I guess its a detox thing. Keep Going you got it!

    Keep it up. My son is a pathologist and he said snuff is a major cause of oral cancer and that usually results in serious disfigurement when they are trying to save your life. A friend of mine and long time snuff user is struggling with oral cancer and his next option if the chemo/radiation does not work, is to have half his face removed. Tobacco in any form is a very evil product.

    Oh man. Your friend will be in my thoughts and prayers. The fear of exactly that is what made me put it down. I had actually wondered how I would explain a diagnosis like that to my son, knowing it could have been prevented. When I would allow myself to really think about it, it would scare me. I knew it was time to walk away from it. You're right about it being evil. It should not be legal. Again, sorry to hear about what your friend is going through. Thanks for sharing the story though.
