Anybody do this? I stopped smoking 1 year ago but recently began chewing skoal tobbaco. I usually dip half way through a ride. I need to quit. The addiction is driving me crazy.

I started smoking because I was hooked on Copenhagen and the wimmens didn't like kissing with a mouth full of tobacco so I switched one addiction for another. Just freakin quit. Cold turkey. It sucks, but it's pretty much the only way. You gotta want to do it.treksngiants said:Anybody do this? I stopped smoking 1 year ago but recently began chewing skoal tobbaco.

I've known people out here that race and also chew tobacco. It can be done.kpcw said:Don't mean this as a flame at all, but sounds me like you might have watched 'Dumb and Dumber' too much.Chewing tobacco while riding takes the cake of the week, are you serious?

You know about the health risks; you don't need me to spell them out for you yet again.treksngiants said:I need to quit. The addiction is driving me crazy.
Ditto. I was a serious Copenhagen addict as well. Bought it by the log. Man I'm glad I quit. Luckily you already have a built in distraction technique in your bicycle.BlueMasi1 said:This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone dipping while riding. Even back in the days when I was a Copenhagen addict (can and a half a day), I never did it while riding. I have to agree that quitting cold turkey sucks but I think it’s the only way to go

I am a quitter. It took me 15 years and many tries, but the only way that it worked was to go cold turkey. I think that having the gum, inhaler or other items only makes your body crave more because it gets rewarded by the craving. By going cold turkey, you crave but you never reward the cravings.BlueMasi1 said:I have to agree that quitting cold turkey sucks but I think it’s the only way to go
