Never tried dipping, but smoked for many years. This year a friend doctor prescribed Chantix for me. Besides some wild dreams, it works very well. I tried quitting many times before with nicorette, and others. Chantix is like night and day.

Talk to your doctor.

I have about 6 unopened cans of this herbal dip. It is called Chattahoochee Herbal Snuff. Says hooch on the can and a website. Hoochsnuff.com

My mom bought and gave it to me, in order to persuade me to quit.
Did not work, it kinda tastes the same, but does not do the job.

If you would like PM me your address. I will send you this stuff for a trade. 1 can of Kodiak/ per 2 cans of this herbal crap.

Re: for all the dippers

Just don't do what I did... trying to smoke a cigarette or two a day, in order to quit dip.
Now I smoke and dip, although not more than 5 cigs/day.
Not really trying to kick the dip anymore, just the cigs. Going through a can of kodiak per day in order to not smoke most days.

Cigs are much worse to quit IMO. Because they are tempting during that quick lunch break on a 12 hour work day. A break so short, it would be a waste of a dip. Gotta spit it out, before it even starts juicing.

Re: for all the dippers

If you can handle cherry Skoal...than anything short of a persimmon flavored dog turd should be OK.

Re: for all the dippers

Yeah i started dipping to quit smoking so i could improve my breath hold...one of my dumber dive buddies smokes a lot and i asked if it hurt his breath hold his response was "nah, think about it, everytime i inhale im working out my lungs" im sure this was a joke but i noticed a significant increase in my breat hold only 2 weeks of not smoking. I smoked black and milds for the most part but i havent smoked in almost a year other than the occasional cigar when hangin out with the guys. New can of grizzly mint every 3 or 4 days depending on whats going on...long drives or hunting days or boring days with nothing to do can do a number on my gums haha...this is tobacco country and dads been chewin since he was 15 or so...him and his buddy gave me and the other guys son redman chew when we were about 7 to scare us away from tobacco but it backfired and i guess made it seem like we couldnt handle it until we were older and tougher...we both chew and dip now. WTG dads haha.

Re: for all the dippers

pouches never really cut it for me...but rabbit/squirrel hunting and dipping dont work with all the moving through the tickest briars known to man and runnin to catch up to dogs etc. chew works though it doesnt fall apart in your mouth when you get hit in the face by a branch haha. supposedly its nit as bad for you either. maybe if your cravin nicotine you could chew in order to ween yourself off. just a thought and levi garret tastes pretty damn good
