I worked with a guy that quit cold turkey, after they took one side of his jaw bone out with cancer. He chewed most of his life and smoked some while he was chewing. I'm sure it's hard to quit but it's probably worth it.

 

i myself have never done it but many in my family have. they just always kept something in their mouth. hard candy, seeds, gum, tooth pics anything like that or chew the natural stuff. it tastes so bad that you wont want to chew it. the only problem is whatever you use as a substitue you will most likely become your habit. Good luck man i wish i could quit.

 

I quit smoking a little over 5 weeks ago. Its going to be a long hard road but if you truely want to quit you can do it.


Good Luck

 

Gum and toothpicks works for me. I smoked as a teenager and chewed everything from Red man to Copenhagen on and off ever since. Haven't had anything in almost 2 years now. Biggest issue for me was the life insurance premiums.

Once you finally realize you don't need it, it's all over.

 

My buddie went to an herbal store and tried differnt types of tea, and found one he liked and did the teabags, and today he still does teabags, but no Skoal! It's been about a month, he says it's really workin fer him, he swears by the teabag, but he says you gota find one that fits your liking. You can do it!! You can do it!!

 

Hey thanks for all the support. i am kinda limited on resources at the time due to my location. I do have teabags, but they are the lipton tea bags. pretty good sized. Went to the PX today and got gum, seeds, and jerky. And i dumped out out 5 brand new cans this morning. I am ready for this battle to begin and get it out of the way. I hate being dependent on something so stupid as a can of skoal

 

get a prescription for chantex, also gum and sunflower seeds, and dont be an idiot like me and start back up after 2 years of not a drag or dip.

 

Beware of the Chantex. It works for kickin the habit but it can have some radical side effects. I was a half inch from goin to jail almost 2 years ago because of a guy that was on it. He flipped his lid and was goin off the deep end and I stepped in to stop him from what he was gettin ready to do. He swung and i had to pin him to the ground and hold him there till the authorities got there and they were gonna arrest me. His erratic behavior was noticed by the cops as they were taking his statement and it was later discovered to be a side affect of the Chantex. He was totally out of control and had no idea what he was doing.

 

Best wishes to you on quitting.

I know what you mean about an additive personality, I was smoking 3 packs a day of Pall Mall reds, finally accepted that they were killing me, Quit cold turkey, after 2 weeks it was a breeze. It took 25 more years to get off the alcohol, I have been sober 9 years next month...

You can do it... remember 'tho "don't trade 1 bad habit for another"

 

That's the experience my dad had with the Chantix, only he was on it at the time.


He's got a couple gaps missing from his memory now.
