Question to the Unit.

[Thomas2]

So what do you guys think of "Dip" I've been doing for a couple of weeks now getting hooked about a dip a day. and seeing what your guys opinions are on it. i mean Yes i know ALL the downsides to it. but it relaxes me. so what do you think? should i stop? or should i continue knowing the health risks? because I'm hooked to some of my favorites which are:

Skoal WinterGreen

Skoal Vanilla

Skoal Mint

Copenhagen Black.

Please give me your input on this.

(Note: I do brush my teeth/Floss/use Flurine wash to clean my teeth regularly so it's not like my teeth look disgusting)

What?

[Bickford]

well seeings that im a dipper myself, the only thing i can really say is, if you want to continue with it then do it, if you dont then dont, just keep in mind use youre tounge to feel youre lower lip every once and awhile to see if youre lip is turning into leather if it is, then stop eneditly, thats a bad sign, wait for it to go away then you can start again, thats what i do, and make sure you dont spit in youre drinking bottle, ive puked and was not purty

by the way, coopinhagen long cut is better, want to be a man get kodiak

What?

chewing tobacco cast

[Cast 1st MRB]

That is so 1900, don't you guys know you can smoke them? Geez nasty habit

[Thomas2]

Thanks bickford. But with all this stress going on. I seem to need it but i want to keep it to a thing like half a can a week. Not like some of my friends who are doing ONE CAN a day, everyday.

And yes i agree Kodiak is manlier but I'm still a softy. But i do enjoy it. I've done it in school which no one cares about except the teachers who if they see it they take it away from you send you to the office then the principal opens the can throws it away right infront of you which FUCKING SUCKS!, Luckily I've never been caught yet. lol

So what are some of your favs man?

[Bickford]

That is so 1900, don't you guys know you can smoke them? Geez nasty habit

yeah but it works for the places you can't smoke in, thats why i do it, the only place i cant do it is at work...gay... but mainly started to do it because when i was in the army i was flying around the country a lot and couldnt smoke on the plane

[S. Richards]

I dip as well. Copenhagen black is best if you pre-treat it with a bottle of Crown Royal. I've known guys who have managed to get a whole bottle into one tin by doing it day by day and letting it soak up. Killer buzz packing a pinch of that in your lip and sending it straight to the bloodstream. I usually stick to the welfare bear, Grizzly Straight or Wintergreen, long cut. Cheap and strong. I look at dipping this way; I need my lungs to survive, but I don't need my teeth or jaw, married anyways so I'm not trying to pull any tail regardless.

And I started for the sole fact that being in a M1A1 Abrams drivers hole for 18+ hours without even so much as opening the hatch for fresh air and pissing in water bottles you couldn't really smoke either, unless your Tank Commander designated it a "Smoking" tank and was cool with people smoking in it. That being said, there were definitely some times when I would just drop a periscope out of the drivers hatch to ventilate it and spark a smoke up anyways regardless of what the TC said.

TC through the CVC helmet: "Do you guys smell that?"

Crew: "Smell what?"

TC: "Smells like smoke. Dags are you smoking?"

Me as I'm tossing the cigarette out of the tank and fanning the air: "Nope."

[Thomas2]

Yeah I agree.

I love it though. I mean sad part is my parents don't even know but hey my dad smokes so if he busts me nothing he can't do nothing because he has been a smoker since he was 16! Difference is im 16 but do Dip. So much better. and i prefer it. lol

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

No dip for me thanks... Not sure I trust a product where they intentionally add fiberglass shards for the purpose of cutting your lip, creeps me out. But hey, do what makes you happy, I've never tried it so who am I to judge?

Yeah i know they added it in their so it will cut the lip and get the nicotine straight to the bloodstream. But you know i could stop if i really tried because im not hooked on it yet. (key word yet) but you know it does relief stress a lot.

[Elder]

I used to smoke cigarettes, but I will never do dip.. not my sorta thing. I would smoke up to a pack aday... but I quit, been a good 3 months.

I'm pretty sure you that's a quote straight from the addict handbook.

No one likes to hear this and fewer people even listen to it but you should really find something else to relieve your stress. Exercise is (mostly) free and gives you more energy. And you'll feel better about yourself too, especially if there's some kind of race coming up that you can work towards.

Financially, a can of dip a week is ~$5? So that's $260 a year. That's a lot of beer money!

I smoked for about four years, quitting was a real bitch. There's never a good time to stop, and there's never a good reason to start.

I eat Sheep

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

I used to dip throughout hs and into college. I quit cause my gums started bleeding like a whores ass and most chicks I know dont like dudes with strands of green shit on their teeth just ask your mom.

[H. Stone 1st MRB]

I used to dip like Engle- I have a permanent recess in my lower lip from it- luckily I didnt lose my teeth or get throat cancer- Stop ASAP this shit will fuck you over later in life.

Throat cancer and palette cancer will ruin your life

[Branem 1st MRB]

So this is my addiction, it's what we call "Snus" in Scandinavia. HUGE in Sweden and Norway.

It's very similar to the traditional chewing tobacco, but the kind I use (wrapped in little white bags)

don't fuck your teeth up as much. I do believe this is a better alternative to traditional chewing tobacco,

can you get this where you guys live?

That actually looks pretty interesting... I don't think we have it here in America though

[Thomas2]

We have it here in the U.S. but it's called "Pouches" and normally starters go to Pouches into Longcut then something like Bandits later than that. depends on the person though.

True that may be but with all this stress that has been going on in my life right now is what makes me do it. like 4 weeks ago i literally woke up WANTING Dip and i use to do it before hand but i stopped long ago because i was getting to a whole can a day so i stopped cold turkey. But as i said earlier i literally woke up one morning wanting Dip and i have no idea why but i did and when i got some dip i was very much relaxed. but i plan on doing NO more than half a can every TWO weeks.

[Thomas2]

Also, Dip varys for me it's usually 3.57 a can. but if you for like Original of Black than it's around about 5.70 a can. depends on what it is and brand.

[Dillon 1st MRB]

Snus is big in the Northwest of America. Its a big logging area, and its making a national impact. We are starting to get it in Colorado, with snus being advertised prominently in stores.

[Cast 1st MRB]

No one does this shit in the UK far as i know.
