Hell yes about to throw in a big ass dip of cherry! Long as I keep my food intake up I seem to grow despite the dipping. Much better than smoking. Aslo dont use it before you train read in mens health it makes you 10% weaker when it is in your blood stream. I need to quit to no good dont want my teeth to fall out. | ||

I dip Mint Skoal. Here are the pro's and cons: Pros: Nicotine is a CNS stimulant (like ephedrine) and can cause adrenaline release in the bloodstream (like ephedrine) and helps boost metabolism (i.e. rail thin smokers)..while also boosting metabolism, it helps release serantonin levels in the brain giving a better mood, and lastly, nicotine can blunt hunger and decrease carb cravings. To be honest, dip is my favorite thing to use while dieting. CONS: can cause tooth loss, gum loss, and cancerous tissue to form behind the lip and gumline. Yes, some people justify it as being "better" than cigarettes because there is no carbon monoxide to inhale, but there is a higher release of nicotine in chew or dip causing it to be more powerful yet more addicting. We are all old enough to make our own life decisions. Using tobacco products is as much as an important decision as choosing to use gear. Know the consequences. Nobody on here is gonna be your momma and tell you not to do anything if you are truly informed on the subject whether it be gear, painkillers, or in this case, tobacco.

I've been dipping for 7 years now... I used to go through a can of Skoal Mint, or Kodiak a day... that's when I lived in NC and it only cost $2.65 a can... now that I am back in NJ, it is $5.50 a can... I quit about a month ago, but I take a dip every now and again.... but I really have to quit... I can't afford it anymore... and I have found that when I did stop, I ate more, and gained more weight... but every time I buy a can I say, "ok, this is gonna be my last can...." sure... how many of ya'll had said the same thing?? of course it's not good for ya, and way worse than smoking.. but hell, it tastes good!!! | ||

I've been dipping copenhagen for 20 years(i'm 34). everyone in my neiborhood chewed or smoked marboros growin up so i chewed.( i went to catholic school so everybody did somethin wrong) It is a nasty habit but at least your lungs stay clean. The bad part is the niccotine in it, my brother in law is 40 and has chewed for 25 years and i guess the niccotine levels in his system are like someone who smokes 2 packs a day  | ||

I dipped Kodiak for about 6 years, then quit thanks to the marvels of modern medicine...if you really want to quit, go to your doc and ask for some wellbutrin (generic Zyban). The shit really works...after a few days you will not want a dip and you will not have the withdrawl symptoms associated with quitting. It would have been impossible for me quit with out the stuff. | ||
