sunflower seeds worked for me...good luck with quitting took me a couple weeks to get over the fits but it was well worth it

Yea sunflower seeds definately help. Chewing gun, they make beef jerky that comes in a little tin (i dipped I don't know if you are talking about chew or dip). That beef jerky somehow packing it and putting some in my lip made it a little easier.

I didn't really have too hard of a time of it. I stopped doing it in public first by hanging out with my non-dipping friends and then privately just weaning off. Just keep your mouth busy and avoid leaving empty cups and bottles lying around.

i would try a mixture of nicotine gum (which is not designed to be chewed repeatedly, but rather held in the cheek) to slowly wean yourself from the nicotine fix and also something called mint snuff to satisfy the mouth habit.

Im a happy dipper, I must say. I feel that I can stop if I wanted though.

Yeah, I pretty much stopped, but in the right situations I throw in a lip or buy a can and I realized how hard it is to completely quit. At least I'm not that way about cigarrettes. Dip>Cigarrettes

A great way to quit chewing is to try some stuff called "mint snuff" made by Oregon Mint Snuff Co. Look it up on google, stuff is awesome

I've tried to quit. What usually sinks me is if I'm reading or doing school work. If I keep busy, like moving around, I might be able to do it.
I don't dip during work or in school. Only when I'm home.

How long does it take for nicotine to get out of your system?
I guess there's the point where just thought of it turns your stomach then you know you've kicked the habit. That's what I hear the smokers say anyway.

Die hard chewer for almost fifteen years...

Sunflower seeds help intil you mouth gets to sore

And then I went to gum..

For me smoking was e-z-er to quit than the chew.

Well worth it in the end
