My hat off to those that can quit. I just lost a friend to complications from a lung transplant. He fought lung disease for close to a decade. His doc told him if he quit smoking he would live another 10 yrs. Never could. Tobacco can have a grip...so good luck to all!
Chewing tobacco?

bad week for me, three tests in two days, late nights studying and a few beers=chewin like crazy.
I quit when i was 32. Chew 16 years, half my life. Decided one day it was enough, still had half a can left. I still keep it, although it's probably pretty dry now, it's been a year and a half. I'll have one or two when i'm drinking with the boys, but never have the cravings anymore during the week when i'm working. Believe me though, the first few months really sucked, especially sitting on a tractor all day. I could have kept a few loggers in business with all the toothpicks i chewed up. Glad i did it though, it's pretty nasty, expensive, and my family seems to like it.

Quit, in 2000 after 10 years of dippin..., how..., my son (5 at the time) and I were on a 1600 mile driving trip to texas. I never dipped in front of him..., I made it about 100 miles, he had to go pee and I bought a can at the gas station... he was in the back in his car seat, I thought he wouldn't know because he couldn't see me. He said "whats that smell when I opened the can.., I sheepishly told him, he said "Dad that is not good for ya" I was like "I know it" he said "you should quit" I said "well it's not that easy" he said "I will make you a deal (5 years old mind you) you can dip the rest of the trip then you should quit. I told him deal.., and I stuck to it. It wasn't easy chew alot of gum. Good luck to all of ya trying to quit!

I never chewed but smoked for 20+ years and love my beer..I knew I could not quite smoking while drinking beer so I quite both at the same time....Hardest thing I ever did. Then I started beer after 6 years without with no cravings for cig's. People always ask how I quite and the answer is always the same "one day at a time" It's a mental game in your mind and just say to yourself " I went through a day of hell and if i start now it was all for nothing" this day will turn into a year... good luck
Yardfarmer you got yourself a smart kid there. Thats a damm good reason to quite
Going on a week now and still no tobacco! Yee-Yaww!

Good forum.
Congrats!! From here on, you will be less apt to want it...which sometimes means you think you can handle a little here and there. But don't let that get you to thinking that. Not possible at least for me it wasn't. Quit completely and be done with it. This from someone that chewed from age 17 to 42, quit probably six times in between. Am now on my 16th month. You can do it!
my dad chewed cope long cut for years and one year just quit. he used the gum and sunflower seeds. he chews that smokey mtn crap alot just to have something in his lip. but i chewed quite a bit during the last 2 summers becasue it kept me awake and all my friends did it. when we started hayin, i really got into it to keep me awake on those 14 hr days raking hay. it never really made me sick and i loved the buzz and eventually i didnt get a buzz anymore. after the summer was over i thought i would be addicted for sure but i just didnt touch it over the winter unless i was drinking. then last summer i went back to chewin to keep me alert and bam! it made me sick and the smell and taste made me gag. i dont know why but now if i smell it or even think about it i get queezy. i never really did it that much after that.
oh and 1 ? for you cope lovers. not trying to sturr the pot but i have tried long cut, punches and snuff and that is the nastiest stuff i have ever tasted or smelled. i know alot of people who LOVE the taste and smell of it but i dont see how you can. i compared it to a 30 old gym sock stuffed with baby **** and fumunda cheese from a 600 pound woman's gut folds. straight is ok though.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ARE TRYING TO QUIT!

a little off subject but has any tried the new camel snuf. i dont relaly like it but its different. been chewing cope for 4 years now dont plan of quiting any time soon.
I've been off the can for one month (today). Although it gets a little easier
every day. Some days, or even hours, are worse than others.
I am done with that chit though. I was talking to my brother, whom had a dip in, and the smell of the cope being emitted from his pie hole was about enough to make me gag! Now I know what all those people were talking about
when they told me that stuff was nasty, Hell, I always thought it was goood!

Last chew spit out 3/21/09 @ 1700. Got offered one this weekend and it wasn't even hard to say no thanks. I know I was finally ready to quit because it wasn't even that hard. I didn't get crabby or anything. Best move I've ever made, to undo the worst move I ever made! Good luck to you guys that are trying or hopefully soon to be trying to quit.

I never smoked, never chewed, yuck..............Had a girlfriend that started to chew one night, told her it hurt, go back to licking and sucking.
Good job man. Yesterday made 7 months to the day for me too. I started when i was 17 and quit when i was 31. It was my daughter's first birthday party last August 31st and i was plugging one in when my closest friend saw me and said "I guess you dont want to be around for many more of these, do you?" That was all it took for me. I spit it out and went cold turkey. One can of cope a day at $5.18 each equals an extra $1,890.70 for my daughter's next birthday party. Good luck to everyone else out there trying to stay off it.
well just got back from the smoke shop..... cope and skoal prices droped a buck!!! 4.25 for a can instead of 5.25.... guy at the smoke shop said something about how marlboro bought out us smokless tabacco, and since they had to raise the prices of smoke prices they figured they would lower the cost of chew!!! good news for us that chew and arnt quiting.
