Did you use any aids (not AIDS) to help you quit? I've been chewing for going on 12 years now and I'm ready to kick.

I was able to quit for about 3 months with the help of nicotine gum. However, my heart just wasn't into it.

It's too bad nicotine gum isn't cheaper, or I would be chewing that all the time. It tends not to gross out women like my Skoal does.

heh, that was the biggest reason I quit. I was up to 2 cans a day -- $10 a day worth of that crap -- and it was still my wife's reaction to the brown slime I oozed that got me to quit.

I got a wife so I don't worry about that anymore (impressing girls that is) and I chewed when we met so she signod on for it.

I tried that gum as well but I couldn't afford to keep it up. Plus it didn't really work that well for me.

I'm going to have to suck it up and just stop here pretty soon though. My cheeks and gums have just about had it and I don't want to start losing teeth.
