I quit for 5 years, then picked it back up when I worked in Central Dispatch for R&L. Those guys got big boxes of chew for free from another terminal. Rolls and rolls of different brands and flavors and everybody in that office chewed. All that free tobacco and the stress of the office job got to me and I started back up. Time to get serious and quit....again.

Anybody can smoke , dip, or chew, it takes a real man to face lung, throat, or mouth cancer.
I must be weak
I have Smoked for 38 years and have set a Quit Date of Jan. 13... This is going to be tough , so wish me luck.

Adding about 20 days or more to your'e year sounds about right when giving up a tobacco addiction,it seemed like my days took forever to end when I quit!

You might be correct in your thinking on dip. A buddy of mine thought the same thing, and he quit smoking for a bit but loved dip more than smoking. Now he smokes and dips. I need to give up the chew again myself, but I've just got to get my mind right. The most I made it was a month and didnt have any cravings really....but just one night I said to myself I really want one. So I got off at the next truckstop and bought a couple cans. Stupid I know.

What time are you going to quit? We need a dead line here. No Cheating.
Learn to hate it and the corporations that make tobacco products by doing a little research..Now that they are losing ground here, American tobacco manufacturers are setting up tobacco stands out side of schools in third world nations. (Where there are no consumer protections). Teaching kids it's cool to smoke...They don't care about you or the damage their products do..Just keep buying the product until you die..Then pass the habit onto your kids and grand kids....
Hating tobacco companies and what they are doing keeps me clean....

I quit smoking on 07/07/07 after 45+ years of smoking. Couldn't do it by myself, had Dr prescribe CHANTIX. It was expensive (I think $67 per month), but I had tried on my own 6 or 7 times to no avail. CHANTIX is a miracle drug in my opinion. Took it for 2 months to be safe, (I think 1 month would have done it). Now I am trying to lose the 50 pounds I gained, LOL. Wife said she would rather have me chubby and alive instead of stinky and dead.
LOL...When I go to bed that night........If I cheat I will only be cheating myself..... And my family of course, but mostly myself.

be careful on that Chantix. It has some bad side affects. I tried it for a bit and got real depressed and other things the wife and I finally figured out that when I didn't take the Chantix I was happier and easier to get along with. Also don't let DOT find out your on it supposedly it's a banned drug for CDL holders because of the side affects. Good luck to you.
To those who are trying to quit smoking from what I've been told. That through our insurance there is a program where they will give you the patches and stuff for free as long as you make progress. Going to call insurance later on and see what they say. Will let everybody know.
