I took a dip of snuff right after lunch at noon had it in my mouth about ten minutes and thought to myself I have been carrying around a can of this BS since I was 12 I’ll be 51 in a couple weeks and I’m tired of spending money on it and tired of the stinch that I know others can smell. It’s going on 7 hours now I hope and pray I can do it this time any suggestions to make things a little easier would be appreciated lol
Cinnamon toothpicks, helps to keep something in the mouth that your tongue pushes around. But as I type this I have a large dip of Copenhagen in as well. I quit in OCS and for a few years after, Iraq started it again (my excuse) and I have been wanting to stop ever since.
I would literally be twitching and itching! I keep saying this is my last can but I keep buying more. Maybe if you successfully quit I can use it as motivation. If I'm not eating or sleeping, I've got a jaw full of snuff. If I think about a chew midway through a meal, I lose my appetite and it's snuff time. Good Luck to ya! I hope you do what I haven't done yet!
The first few days are the hardest.I probably thought about taking a dip every 2 or 3 minutes.Throw away everything affiliated with the snuff and put your mind on other things.I only think about it 5 or 6 times a day now and its been about 9 months since I quit.I smoked cigarettes for 25 or 30 years and gave them up pretty easily.Snuff is tough to quit.
It's tough brother, just do what you can do...
This Friday will be a full month without my hagen!! When chit has been real bad I take a equate 4mg lozenge to ease me through the rough!! Big red gum has been a help as well!!
Good luck kwaynem, I know your pain LOL ! Having to steer clear of anybody with hagen cause the smell pops every nerve in my body into over drive .

Here's how I quit.
It was Halloween night, 1989. I always said when Cope got to $2 a can, I would quit. Well, at the start of my shift, I bought a can and paid like $2.03 or something and hit the streets. About 2 or 3 am, I told my buddy Tim, I said, "that's it T-bone...I ain't buying no more."
Tim, a fellow snuffer as well, said, "yeah, whatever."
Almost 29 years later and I am still snuff free.
Seems like I tried to pick it back up a few years later and got sicker than a couple of dawgs! 
The way I quit for good, was I took a big gallon size jar, like pickles come in, cleaned it up real good, cut a slit in the lid and duct taped it on there so me or nobody else couldn't get into it. Then, every time I wanted a pinch of snuff, I'd poke two bucks in the jar. By the time it was full, I had a little over $300 in the jar. So, I bought a gun with it. I've never regretted it.
Now...I still crave a Black & Mild cigar...Every. Single. Day.
But that's another story...
