[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3078305, member: 14646"] I dipped two cans of Skoal long cut mint for quite a while. I tried to quit 4-6 times with varying degrees of success but always fell off the wagon. It was finally about two years ago when my boy was 12 and very impressionable. At this same time some anti tobacco TV campaigns were hitting the airwaves something fierce. THey were pretty brutal and to the point about about your face falling off and killing you. While watching TV I was dipping and one of these commercials came on. My boy watched it again and he got up and disappeared into his room in the back of the house. After several minutes my wife went back there and he was crying his eyes out thinking I'm going to die a horrible death soon. Needless to say i had to finally quite. For two weeks i didn't dip in front of him and he finally went to vacation at my parents home in Hawaii for 10 days. It was then that i quit. For the first three to five days i am very irritable, cranky and just and azzhole to be around. I now go through mints like crazy. I still have the urge to take a dip occasionally, especially in very stressful situation. I pray to God that my son does not pick up this habit. It may sound odd but i really did enjoy dipping. I drive a lot for work as a sales guy so it was something to do but I'm happy it has been almost two years since i quit. I did tell my wife that if i ever get some crazy illness and the doctors tell me its incurable and I only have a year or so left to live that she can bet her azz that i will resume dipping like a madman.
