That said, been dipping copenhagen for 15 years and really need to stop.

15 years man i could not fathom that, my old boss has been dipping for 25 years never had a problem in his life, but still i wanna stop

I quit successfully. It took me like a million times but whatever. I used to dip a lot. At my peak I was doing 1-2 cans a day, I did 3 once. My pinches were absurd too. At my worst, two pinches and the can would be gone. Yeah I used to like Kodiak, Cop long cut, Skoal wintergreen and spearmint. My fav stuff was this sh_t called High Country that I only saw in the south when I'd go down and visit my buds. they didn't have it in NY. It was dipped in whiskey. I'd do grizzley sometimes too. It was pretty fun man but eventually I was just kinda like, "ya know, I'm spendin' a lotta money on this sh_t, and what is it really doin' for me?" The buzz IMO sucks unless you're new to it. Also, with liftin', I knew it supressed my appetite, and I cut it out to make sure I was getting enough cals for bulkin'. Probably worried a bit too much on that one, but it helped nevertheless. Finally, before I quit, I went to an oral surgeon to have my mouth examined. Everything turned out cool, which is cool as I dipped for a while, like 12 years, but he said one thing that stuck out a bit. It's probably not easy to get cancer from dipping but when you do, I think you're kinda f_cked. I asked him about it and he said when you first see the cancer, which is most often white sh_t, it's probably already in your lymph glands. I didn't know that man. I thought you could pick it up early and cut it the piss outta your mouth. Not true according to him. But yeah, it was fun for a while but I just found it was time to move away from it. It's been cake. Maybe a bit more gum early on, but I don't ever even think about it anymore.

Everyone's make up is different when it comes to tobacco.

I did Copenhagen for 15 years - The last 3 were rubbing on top and bottom at the same time. Got to the point that I could eat french fries with it in and drink whatever I wanted.

The clincher was when the dentist sent me to a specialist to have a biopsy done on the inside of my lower lip. It was negative and I haven't touched the stuff since.

I think if you want to quit - you'll know when the time is right.
Good Luck Bro.

If ya want to steve0, you'll quit. Don't let your buds f_ck ya up either. I tried like a million times and everytime I started again my buds would be like, "I thought ya were trying to quit." I'd be like, "I am." Eventually it happened though.

I am a girl, and I am from Maine.
I know a few girls who dip and plenty of guys who do.
It is kind of gross but whatever. I dip once in a while and I don't mind guys doing it either I mean...you could be doing a hell of a lot worse things!
And I am all about the Grizzly Wintergreen =)

I finally ditched it! It's been three months and I'm still off the nicotine. I still think the real risks re: dipping are overplayed but I didn't like Altria telling me what to do everyday.
