Had a buddy get aesophageal cancer probably from dipping. I dipped for 10 years and kept getting reflux problems and my gums were a mess. Was expecting my first daughter and I just told myself I wanted to live to see her grow up and I felt like a slave to the dip. Quit cold turkey. Tough but can be done. Whenever I wanted a dip bad I just told myself how big of a possy I was if I gave in to the urge. Started chewing gum and it helped. A friend gave me a dip years later and I nearly puked. Can't believe I did that nasty shucks for so many years.
