This is very sad Tim. I'm 58 I dipped for over 4 decades and honestly believed that nicotine saved me from a life of worse stress and depression than I already suffered. I was sure that putting that dip in was helping relieve my stress, not so much. Now that I've been quit for 3 1/2 years I can look back and see that nicotine only relieved the withdrawal pains from itself. I got to the poin where I just couldn't get enough, having a dip in 24/7 wouldn't cut it. Even doubling up with upper and lower dips wasn't enough.
I have my doubts that you're ready to let go of nicotine and until you are this isn't a place for you. There is a huge amount of knowledge available to help educate you and thousands of nicotine addicts that will help you but we can't convince you of the true enemy that you're facing.
Btw I can say that nicotine is bad for you. Just this past month I lost a friend to esophagus and stomach cancer from dip. I lost most of my teeth, Had fun grafts and have watched others suffer and die from oral cancer.
I suggest that you spend some time reading the stories of addicts here, HOF speeches, the Kerns story are good places to start. If you decide to quit nicotine were here to help.

I can promise you one thing.....getting off nicotine is going to suck no matter when or how you do it. I know folks that are smoking nicotine laced vape things and popping nic mints....for years.....because they can't face reality.

Just drop the nicotine, find some seeds, gum and atomic fireballs and get started.

There is no magic bullet.

Tim, nicotine is the addiction. Smoking is bad, dipping might be worse, and there is little knowledge of the long term effects of nicotine replacement (patches, gum, lozenges, etc.). Believe me, I know it is scary, but just quit and go nic free. It will be hard, and it will suck for a while, and then it won't... Trading one delivery method for another (dip instead of smoking) will not solve the problem. You will still be a slave to the poison (nicotine). You can do this. Read everything on Killthecan, and just do it. It works. I am 963 free from nicotine, but at one point I was just like you... The choice is yours and so is the power.

Hi, my name is tim. I'm 48. I smoked at least two packs of cigarettes sometimes three a day since 16. Well I got tired of being out of breath, broke, and watched it make both parents sick.
Yes I'm a nwrvous, anxious peraonu. I just met someone I really like that doesn't smoke and to not turn her off and to save my money and life I quit. Haven't smoked anything for three days. BUT started dipping. Just for the nicotine.
But I want to find something to dip that's tobaccofree but with the nicotine.till I can wean myself off that.
everyone says the nicotine is bad too but not near as bad as all the shit in cigarettes.
So my question is , is there a dip or preferably pouch that's tobacco free with nicotineto help me get completely tobacco free.
I know once I start feeling better without the cigarettes I can get off the nicotine.
I mean how can anyone say that the nicotine is just as bad. Hell I'm sure the food everyone is eating is alot worse for u than a drug that will keep u calm enough to stop smoking 2-3 packs a day.
Anyways, I'm proud of myself.
