I think thats what he meant, a non tobacco alternative that is somewhat like skoal straight.
And you basically answered his question :)

You don't have to be an ass I want a non nicotine chew that has the taste of skoal straight have tried a bunch so if I find one that taste the same I will have a better chance at quitting

The fake stuff never worked for me. In fact, I think it ended a few of my previous quits. Do what you have to in order to stay quit, but remember that there are no shortcuts. Embrace the suck...it is your body healing. Feel the pain and use it for motivation to stay quit. You can do this...and you don't need the fake shit. Full throttle, cold turkey is the way to go.
But like I said...do what you have to to stay quit, brother!!!

not trying to be an ass bud. i'm a new quit too. but your success is based on how bad you want to change your life and be alive. not on if you can find some decent fake shit.

i think your best bet is to find something totally different from Skoal straight....It won't feel right when it tatse like it, but isn't it....hop skip jump later to skoal straight, with doulbe the vengence and consumption.
Every time I stopped, I tried a brand close to mine, and was immediatly craving the original...go the sunflower seed route, or candy route, lick dog turds, hell anything better than something close to the original.

Welcome Brother!!
The fake stuff works for some, not for others. Personally I found it to be a huge trigger. Having something so close to being dip I think is bad. Just the whole ritual of sliding my thumb nail around the can to open it, packing it nice and tight to get a good pinch, diving the fingers in and stuffing it in my lip, carrying around the can, it's all too much like the real thing.
I found that sunflower seeds and sugar-free gum was much more affective.
But bottom line is whatever works for you. You can do it my friend!!!
PM me if I can help out in any way.

You are not addicted to the taste, you are addicted to the nicotine.
I going to kindly assume that you have quit...which I think may be a leap. Anyhoo.....
When you were dipping, if you had a nic-free can of cope or a steaming pile of nicotine laced dog shit, I can prettly well guarantee which one you would have choosen, or at least ended up with.
MikeA says that if you are going to use fake, try a different flavor. Sounds like solid advice to me.

Totally agree with Brianl...the fake stuff was so close to the real thing it ended up being a big trigger.
Cold turkey...jump into the quit like a cold pool. And never look back.
Stay quit, brother!!!
