I need an alternative to tobacco chewing?!
Question: I need an alternative to tobacco chewing?
Texture is my main complaint. I chew Skoal Long Cut. If anyone has some alternatives for SNUFF products, please tell me.
I do not want answers like just quit or try the patch, gum, etc. I'm 26 years old and I've done everything like that. It's the oral fixation like I said. I need something with the same texture and preferably a similar flavor that i can just put in my lip that will not cause me cancer.
Thanks!

Years ago i smoked about 2 1/4 packs of
Lucky Strikes a day.
Finally, i decided to quit smoking
and started chewing.
When i saw chewing,
i mean chewing...not dipping.
I thorougly enjoyed my chewing tobacco....
Sometimes it would be Days Work
Then other times i wanted a sweet chew
and i would go with Red Man
Finally there came the time to cut out the tobacco
all together
I started chewing sunflower seeds...in the shell
I would load up my jaw and have a spitting good time
I missed the nicotine..for sure
But it was that feeling in my jaw
That feeling of having something there
That's what i really needed
And it absolutely worked!
SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Give 'em a try!

The first step with dealing with your addiction is recognising you have an addiction.
However much you might like to delude yourself that it's nothing to do with nicotine, it's pretty clear that it's EVERYTHING to do with nicotine.
Denying it? Fine, just quit tobacco for 3 weeks then. That craving that you experience will be for nicotine, not for chewing (if you were addicted to chewing a particular texture then you're truly of great interest to medical science as I'm sure there's no recorded cases of anyone being addicted to a chewing texture!)
Best of luck with quitting.
EDIT: Apology accepted. I'm sure you can understand that to the casual observer, stating clearly in writing that you're "not addicted to the nicotine" could easily be misinterpreted as meaning that you're not addicted to the nicotine. Try not to mince your words next time.
