[QUOTE="E-Rock, post: 7703339, member: 628334"] I was never really a heavy smoker but I would alternate between smoking and chew for about 3 years or so. It's been awhile since I quit using tobacco regularly, I still have a cig once in awhile if my friend offers me a smoke at a party, but by no means do I crave it. I stopped smoking and switched to Skoal for a few weeks and just weaned myself off. After awhile I would only have a dip or 2 a day and when my last can ran out, I just went cold turkey. Sure there were those moments where the only thing on your mind is, "gotta have a smoke/dip," but, if you can deal with the cravings for about a week or two then you should be good. Everyone deals with it differently so I was fine and didn't get too irritable, just kind of headaches/tunnel vision. The withdrawals don't last too long so just wait it out for a few times. I honestly don't remember when I quit, I just care that I don't crave the ish anymore and don't have to throw away butts or keep spit bottles around. It's weird though because my family has a history of addictive personality and I handle tobacco and alcohol with no problem. [/QUOTE]
