any of you bros out there chew? I'm making good gains but chew about 1/2 can of copenhagen a day. I know gain would be better if i can kick it, even though I love the shit. Any tips on quitting? IP: Logged |

im with ya bro. im about the same. 1/2 can of copenhagen a day. will this really cut into gains? i use to smoke alot, but after about 3 years kicked the habit w/ the help of smokeless tobacco. I know its not much better but my workouts are better cuz i have more oxygen. IP: Logged |

I smoked for 10 years and the chew is how I got off the smokes. AS much as I want to get off the chew, I still think that its a lot better than smoking. IP: Logged |

i feel soo much better and SMELL so much better since i stopped smoking. I would lose my breath so easy when working out, especially when doing heavy squats. I'd almost black out. But now im doing great. I just don't wanna lose my teeth =) IP: Logged |

I quit copenhagen snuff about 5 months ago after using dip since 4th grade. I notice better circulation and pumps. I have more energy as well. My afternoon naps will never be the same though. I use to just love packing a nice dip and dozing off for a while. All tobacco products restrict circulation, it would be better to quit. It took me a month and a half of a ghb alternative to do it, but I am glad. Always getting teased though, because copenhagen still sends me alot of goodies. IP: Logged |

I used the nicotine patches to quit the copenhagen, was doing a can and a half/day, for 10 years. It was 2 months of hell, but once you get over the hump, its paradise. I guarantee I wouldnt have been able to quit without the patches, would forget to change them once in a while and would really be able to notice it. Also, get yourself some herbal or mint snuff,its tobacco free, you can even find it online, I wrote a couple emails to these companies and they sent me enough free shit to last me a year.

thanks bros...you just reminded me of my can of cope i had stashed in the freezer. I have read that it does deplete your body of some vitamins so naturally i just take a good multi. its so relaxing and i dont smell like an ash tray...and i can do it on an airplane. ill tell you what though...cope is alot better than all that candy coated skoal shit. IT SATISFIES ------------------ IP: Logged |

The first time I dipped was the last. I threw in a big ol fat chew of Kodiak while I was cleaning a pool and 30 minutes later I turned a mean shade of white and puked my guts out. Never again!!! I still stand next to the tri-leaf!!! Later, Green IP: Logged |

i dip Kodiak and i don't think it effects my training at all, or maybe not to the point were i notice it! I hope all the people that are against smoking stay out of bars because if you spend 2-3 hours in your average bar you smoke about half a pack of unfiltered cigs enjoy! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yeh bro, when I go to small biker bars, I come out all stuffy and shit from all the smoke. Copenhagen is the best. Snuff is the best of the Cope. Tastes alot better than the long cut. I use to keep my shit in the freezer too. Damn, all this is making me want to go get a log. Better stop reading this post! IP: Logged |

I'll give props to the mint skoal, I love it to death. Gotta quit though, take AS and Nicotine are both hard on the heart, what's more important to ya's? But until my quitting day, I'll have a dip for this post, hell ya ------------------ IP: Logged |

I dip a tin of Kodiak a day. Shit my gums hurt so I take a month off and then chew again. Hell you only live once. Live it the way you want but be BIG during that time. IP: Logged |

i used to chew the week before a show, great for dropping some extra water. be carefull to not chew the day before or the day of the show because nicotine is a vasocontrictor you will loose your vascularity. IP: Logged |

i been chewing cope for 5 years and the longest i have been able to quit is 2mos. then i think "oh, one can won't hurt" then it's down hill. maybe i can kick it for good one day before my teeth fall out. then i won't be so purty! IP: Logged |

I pack a fatty WHILE I'm in the gym. Frankly, I'm not sure how I'd cope (pun intended) without it. -moondog IP: Logged |
