Thought I had worms so I bought a can of Cope and am satisfied.

Not really, didn't feel like going to the other end of OR after work to Weigels so just got a can from Haji instead. Goodness i love the smell of fresh Copenhagen.

I’m so addicted to it I told my wife to put a can of Copenhagen in the casket when she buries me. When Walt Garrison worked for the American tobacco company back in the mid 70’s he would pass it out free at the college rodeos. I was on the UTM team and wanted to be like him I suppose. If I had all the money I’ve spent on it over the years, I could retire in Hawaii .

Might as well put this here.


When Red Dead Revolver came out we had a rule in our apartment that if you wanted to play you had to chew. So we had Levi Garrett in a drawer of the coffee table in case someone didn’t bring their own. I was always partial to Red Man golden blend but I only use it a few times a year now.

I never chewed much, but that golden blend was my favorite, followed by king B

Everyone posting here should try the nicotine gum or lozenges and get off that stuff. Do you want to lose half your jaw or tongue ?

Ah...more than that. Surgery will almost always require running the submandibular node chain. You go until it's clear then go further. You'll also most likely have chemo and radiation to contend with. Any future oral surgery may necessitate hyperbaric oxygen therapy to avoid osteoradionecrosis of the jaw which is particularly problematic in its own right. Then there's always that nagging thought about metastasis.

Google some photos of oral cancer surgery and osteoradionecrosis. Suffice it to say seeing what's involved in the surgery has a rather substantial impact on the smokeless tobacco user. Of course, most think it just can't happen to them or it's not likely to hit until one is much older. It's simply another form of russian roulette. Sooner or later....

I know someone who quit smoking back in 2012 using nicotine gum, they got hooked on the gum and still chew it till this day. I don’t say anything because I’m sure it’s better than smoking but I would imagine there must be some negative health consequences chewing nicotine gum for years.

Nicotine slightly elevates blood pressure like caffeine. I’m not sure if there are other long-term consequences.

I made this thread for us that do dip and chew. I don’t agree with you.

That stuff is damn disgusting op. About half my friend dip and I can’t talk $hit to them (cause I don’t want to offend them)...but a random dude on volnation gets to hear about it. Lol. Drop the habit! Your non-dipper friends will appreciate it. And I’d guess if you have a woman she’ll be appreciative as well!

This is just sad. I don't see how some people take pride in being addicted to nicotine

I only date women who chew Beech Nut.

Never did like dip, although my father is a Skoal Original Fine Cut devotee. Has been for 40+ years.

As far as chew, when I go to Gatlinburg I’ll usually stop at the tobacco store in the Mountain Mall and get a bag of loose leaf. I like the peach, cherry, butter pecan, and of course, the Big Orange Chew. But that’s more of a novelty. Once I run out, I’m out until my next trip. And we only go once or twice a year.
