Fortunately I kicked that habit a few years back, which BTW was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.
Never smoked in my life but used smokeless tobacco for about 37 years now (and still have all my teeth). Used to pay 25 cents a can for Skoal when I started, now I pay about $1.19 a can for Longhorn wintergreen. Alot of people say, “Ooh gross!” I don’t even spit so most people don’t know I dip. 2 cans a week pretty much lasts me. Plus I can eat or drink anything without taking it out of my mouth. (must have a cast iron stomach). And you’re right, tried to quit once and found it impossible.
