Quit smoking about 8 years ago. Best thing i ever did. I used Welbutrin, the nicotine patch, and regular chewing gum.

Welbutrin? To keep you settled or focussed or both? Thats interesting. I was a walking ADHD machine for a couple of months when I quit dipping.

I smoked cigs when I was a freshman at a&m. I really don't have any advice. I was just able to drop it. haven't had more than 10 since the start of the second semester my second year

I dipped a can of Copenhagen a day for about 15 years...we start young up in them thar hills.
I quit on March 14 and after the first week it was pretty easy. Used chantix for 30 days with smoky mtn snuff. After that I only used sunflower seeds, gum, and beef jerky chew.
Every now and then I'll get cravings and if I do, I'll grab a can of that beef jerky chew. Like most other things, it's mostly mental. Don't be a slave to it.

I've quit dipping a few times over the past three or four years, cold turkey the previous couple times. This time I made my mind up to put it down for good. Smokey mountain tobacco free snuff has done the trick for me. It takes a little getting use to but really knocks out my craving. I've been quit for three weeks now using it. Lots of flavors to choose from and you can get a five can free sample on their website and mixup to five flavors for about ten bucks shipping and handling. Good luck.

Used Chantex but only half the suggested time, 6 weeks, due to it causing insomnia. Smoked 26 years, been non smoker for 5 years.

Just quit buying Copenhagen long cut was how I stopped dipping. I still smoke, but only when I'm drinking and in a suitable environment

I loved tobacco and I was good at it. I loved cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chew, whatever. She's an evil bitch and tough to walk away from. She's all the time trying to win you back.
I smoked a pack a day for years, thru college and into my late 20's. I'd quit for a few months or even a couple of years at one point, but I'd always fall back in a moment of weakness. It finally stuck for me nearly 7 years ago. I used the patch, sunflower seeds and the fact that I had recently moved to quit. Changing up the routine helped a bunch. Having recently moved, I didn't have any kind of normal patterns set up, so I didn't miss a cigarette at a normal time or place. The patch made me into a "tolerable a-hole," whereas without the patch, I would have been intolerable.
I still miss it sometimes, but I'm over them. I do plan on starting back when I hit 75 years old.

Yes. I just decided to quit one day because it was tearing up my gums and I have a family history of cancer, never looked back. I was going through, roughly, a can every day or two. The only time I still get cravings is when I get REALLY stressed out. Been tobacco free since '06.

Cold Turkey and haven't looked back.

How did you do it?
Smoking - age 3 or 4, after being instructed on how to smoke correctly after wasting about half a pack
Dip - high school, had a huge dip on the team bus and got slapped on the back for a good play. Swallowed about half a can or more. Wanted to puke for next several hours and was told I was pale as a sheet. Now I can smell it from far way.
Cigars - college, used to chew them instead of smoking, just stopped one day
Chewing tobacco - college, same as cigars above
Plug - early 20's, just stopped one day
Still like the smell of leaf tobacco and will crush it in my hands and smell it.
