Nicotine.........Wow don't care if it be cigars, cigs, pipe, and or the dread snuff......
While in the U. S. Coast Guard.....I tried to quit smoking a pipe...While at sea I would take the pipes and throw them in the Gulf Of Mexico...Always thought someday someone is going to find all those pipes at the bottom of the Gulf and wonder just how they got there....Never truly quit even after I got out....Still smoked a pipe and that Cherry Blend. Burned many a hole in my shirts. I smoked a pipe and chewed Skoal off and on. the dreaded Eadtern Sportsman Show. Free Kodiak and Free Skoal when you visit there...Quit but going there all the free samples would get me hooked again......It has now been 11 years since I had the dreaded nicotine fits and that stuff in my blood stream.....
Here are the things that made me really quit the snuff....
I lost a friend to cancer...Guy smoked real heavy and ended up with a brain tumor...
My gums would bleed at times from the Skoal. My dentist warned me of white spots on my gum from chewing..
My wife told me that if I kept this stuff up I would not get to enjoy my grandchildren and or a dream of having a hunting cabin someday.....
No one can make you quit.....Your going to have to want to do it...Hope when any of you quit it's not because of losing a friend to cancer. Having your gums bleed, etc etc etc.
Wow....11 years have gone by since my last chew...Also if you quit reward yourself too. Buy a gun or something nice with the money you would have peeded away on cigs and or the dreaded nicotine....
Say to yourself if I quit I can buy a Rem 17 Fireball in about a year......Save that money every week too that you would spend for nicotine products. Put it in a jar or deposit it to your bank account each week and or month....
