I dipped Skoal Longcut Wintergreen for 29 years. Tried many times to quit but on October 8th 2016 during Hurricane Matthew I needed a can of dip and didn't want to go out in the middle of the hurricane to buy one... and plus everything was closed down here in Myrtle Beach. So I thought what better day to quit and I would never forget the day as well due to Matthew. Three days later I thought I was dying and I had to call 911. I rode in the back of an ambulance to the hospital and after seeing the doctor was relived to know I wasn't dying but it had been a panic attack triggered by quitting cold turkey. Good to say I have been clean and never gone back for over three years now. I still have the cravings and sometimes they are so strong but I just have a black coffee and the cravings are gone. I can honestly say I will never pick up that nasty habit again! Now I just have to watch my coffee intake... LOL!

Copenhagen became a full time habit I did when I started working at 16. I failed a quit attempt at 20 due to a day of fishing on the bay. I'm 49 and have quit now for 13 days. It's senseless ever dip again. I was a musician and had my roll of Copenhagen to every continent. That styrofoam cup resting on my amp was not coffee.
