I know but i swear i search around meticulously with my tongue and convince myself there are some larger than normal bumps etc... seriously though, if yall ever notice a white patch on your gums this could be a precursor to oral squamous so get it checked out ASAP (common with smokers).

lol, Thank God!! another thing that gets me is when im pulling to look in my lips, the harder i pull the whiter it gets :) so i have to relax and look without pulling so hard to get it to go back to the pink/dark color its supposed to be.

i think that the dentist told me that if there are white patches then time to quit.
 
I admit I do a little snuff every once in awhile (the kind you sniff). When i'm doing heavy squats it helps give me that little boost.
 
dude if you have bumps around your mouth, ya got herpies(sp), haha. Skoal mint is my choice, cherry for a summer time treat.

But seriously dip is not good for you.

noooo its not herpies!! its just those little bumps on the inside of the inside around your lips.

Cherry?? that was the first i ever tried and got sick on it and havent tried it since!!
 
oh man it all depends on what im doing, if im in surgery its kinda hard to get a dip in, but if its a day off then maybe 4-5 times.

i know your kidding BS, but in all reality the brand with the least amount of cancer causing stuff (domestically) is Timber Wolf.--havent been able to find a mint though. Thats why i just go with Kodiak Ice. Always fresh and packs tight!!

Man the really sketchy thing in the dip is the lead content.... why is that even in there? Can't they remove it. Yeah it sucks to be at work I can tell you that I can't toss a lipper in during surgery either hahaha would be hilarious, spittin in someone's empty eye socket... ok that wasnt very funny at all . **** this lack of dip is driving me nuts.

My friends and I called the wintergreen Kodiak the "kind-bud" of dip (you know what I mean), it would knock us on our as$'s, but we were also only 17!

It's kind of funny. With the Soda/Pop thing. When it first came it, it was all called Soda Pop. We took the Pop, you guys kept the Soda..I guess it worked out.

Here in Ohio everyone I know calls it pop not soda.As for tobacco,HELL NO! it is kinda odd to read how so many of you use this garbage but to each his own cancer,I mean to each his own.I'll get up on a soap box and preach about tobacco so let me stop now,besides addicts will always justify thier actions anyways "I'll never get lung cancer,mouth cancer,cancer of the gums or heart disease or emphysema etc. that only happens to the other smoker/dipper" just the yellow fingers,yellow teeth and bad breath alone would keep me from smoking let alone cancer.Sorry rant over guys.
 
Yes, I'm sorry to say I do smoke cigarettes. THat is my only bad habit. And it's been a bad habit for many, many years.
 
It'll effect your gains, your cardio, and your vascularity... Is it worth it? That's really where it got for me. I really loved smoking. I mean, really. I never thought I'd quit. But, I started thinking about how much work I put in at the gym, and about how I was hindering/halting my progress with smoking... Well, that finally got through to me where nothing else would. I had three cigarettes left in the pack and I left them on my table for a couple of days without touching them... On the third day, I tossed 'em. Then I just let the pain of not smoking take its ugly course. It sucked. However, I don't feel the urge to smoke now, and I feel much better on the whole. It controls you man... Is it time to control it?
 
never have used a tobacco product and never will... With all our knowledge on what this stuff does, you should be smart enough not to use it.
 
I dipped my face off when I wrestled (highschool and college). The worst of it was when I joined a frat in college. You wouldn't see me without a dip in my mouth. Then, I got a scare... leukoplacia (sp) showed up. The precancerous white patch from dipping. I quit cold turkey and this over a year ago. The first few months sucked, but I never went back. Shortly there after, my gramps died of lung cancer (smoker) and I swore that I wouldn't poison myself with that garbage ever again.

Hardest thing I've ever done was going from a tin/can of SKOAL a day to nothing. Hell, I still have cravings for straight or mint flavored dip, but it's all in my head. I don't need that sh*t anymore.

HL
 
i dipped all the time a few years ago, got a girlfriend about a year and a half ago and have cut back to once or twice a week ever since, yet I went to the dentist a few weeks ago and am starting to show signs of gum disease :( Just be careful and take good care of your teeth
 
yes i do and i need to quit.....which i can, cold turkey but its just something to do. I smoke some other stuff that i dont think ill ever want to stop smoking, but moderation is key there. Im kind of getting into cigars too, I just got a couple top-notch cigars ( $100+) and they are a great smoke.
 
So, anyone know of any supplements to aid cessation? A co-worker is trying to stop. I can't remember what it was, but there's something used to help that I was reading about. Piracetam? Bah...
