Dipping tobacco....?!
Question: What is the best way to stop dipping tobacco?
(And I've already seen all the pictures of tumors and all.) It's my friend I'm worried about. He's dipped for a while now and will not stop.

Chewing gum. That's how my grampa quit.
start smoking
nicotine gum, put it in your lip and spit!
I kind of "came across" your question in the open section and it caught my eye. I have been dipping snuff for nearly 25 years, and like a lot of people, I have quit dozens of times. It is a very difficult habit to kick. The best way to quit is to cut back gradually and finally just stop. If he buys two cans a week, he should cut down to one. If he has 10 dips a day, he should start cutting down by 1 or 2 until he can finally just stop. It might take months.
I never found the nicotine gum or jerky snuff to be effective at all. I've gone cold turkey, too, and let me tell you, it is a bear. Actually, I feel like sort of a hypocrite since I am still using, but, you know... ask an expert.
Good luck.
