I know none of it is good..but a couple of my friends use the pouches. Do you think those are a little better for you?

I put a pouch in once and they are pretty good sized..and it dropped me. I got a crazy buzz and felt very dizzy and almost threw up. Lesson Learned!It about makes me throw up when someone spits into an empty pop bottle...Nasty!

i don't use any of that stuff, waste of time and waste of money IMO.

but i don't think the pouches would be any better for you, still contains the stuff in regular chew, so it couldn't be any better.

Yea it's a nasty habbit, and no pouches aren't as bad as far as size goes but the tabacco is still hurting your gums. After a while pouches won't do anything to you and then you're going to start going through long cut cans like they're free. It's good that pouches still buzz you, that means you don't do it that much. Now stop doing it all together. It's no good. It sucks being the kid at the party who's spitting into gatorade bottles. Trust me, I'm that kid. Everyone feels the need to tell you how disgusting it is. Don't be that kid. Quit. PM if you have any questions.

I personally don't chew but there are several members of my team that do (we don't have HS rules we're a legion team because Wyoming doesn't have HS baseball) but they're all 18 or 19 so it's legal even though I personally believe it to be a nasty habit. The smell on people's breath when and after they chew is just nasty as well as the spit that comes out, luckily most of our chewers have the courtesy to spit in a cup instead of just letting it go wherever, even though I had some tobacco juice spilled on me the other day.

I would tell you to stay away from it. My coach quit chwing because he got a hole in his tongur from it. I have never and will never try it.

Don't ever start and find people to associate with that don't chew. For those of you trying to quit hang out with players that don't chew because the temptation is too great when around friends that do chew.

Nothing good comes from it. Bad health over time, possible cancer, expensive, yellow teeth, chicks don't dig it, relatives worry about the habit and health implications. If you do get cancer you are in for a deforming operation.

It really takes a lot of will power to quit and if you are persistent then you might be successful in quitting. The cravings eventually go away and you always have to tell yourself no even a year or more after you quit. You do have a personal right and dignity to be free from the habit.

The first 3 weeks of quitting are the toughest and if you can tell yourself no after the cravings are gone then you are home free. If you have an occasional beer in college after you quit remember that you are very vulnerable to starting back so say no.

If you find you can't quit cold turkey then significantly reduce your usage and use it for very short periods of time until you can completely quit. Don't get discouraged if you fail to quit. Keep trying hard because you can quit.

Don't rationalize that it helps performance, etc. It doesn't. The initial fatigue from quitting goes away and use the fatigue to catch up on some rest and healthy habits.

Not to be preaching but I started at 11 or 12 and did it for a long time. There was a lot of failure along the way in quitting but it can be done.

i dip its a bad bad nasty habit that will reign you in and put a deathgrip on you physically and mentally. The mental part is the worst. I use to dip on jv in high school...like fatty dips and no one ever said anything not the umps not my coaches not other coaches...maybe they just thought a young kid wouldn't be doing that i dunno but thats about the coolest story i have from that if you want to call it cool.
