I just watched the Sean Marsee story in the Words of Wisdom group. For those that haven't seen it, it's a Youtube video that is told by his younger brother about what happened to him.
Anyway, after I get done watching it and I'm all strong in my quit and everything, I see this other video on there about reversing the negative effects of dip. Sorry in advance for the following, but it's profane because I'm real fired up right now.
First off the video is called "Health Tips for Dippers." I should've stopped right there...
You know what this 20 year old business major asshole starts doing? First thing he does is throw a dip in and start the video off "right." Then he pretends to know how the cancer starts. He starts throwing around lykoplakia and cell regeneration blah blah blah.
Then he says here's what I know: You could put a jolly rancher in your lip and it would do the same thing as dip. (Wait wait it gets better, stop laughing for a second) He says the cancer forms because you're killing the surface cells in your mouth and by putting a jolly rancher in your mouth and holding it there you kill the cells just like a dip would. THEN THIS ASSHOLE GOES: IT'S NOT THE CARCINOGENS THAT CAUSE THE CANCER, IT'S THE DEAD CELLS FROM THE DIP LAYING ON THE CELLS IN YOUR MOUTH.
Finally, his advice is to drink green tea to counteract the nitrosamines and to workout. If you do all these things you won't get cancer. WHAT A F*CKING PILE OF MONKEY ASS SH*T!!! Then you go down and read the comments and there are 14 year old asking this guy, "hey man tell me straight up if chewing will give me cancer." These poor kids are getting their dip advice from a 20 year old fucking business major that claims to be able to beat cancer.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I was so freaking fired up I just wanted to reach thru and strangle this kid. For those of you that need some fire in your belly, here's the link:

I'm so proud to have found KTC and earned my quit so my kids hopefully don't have to make the same speeches as Sean Marsee's brother did. I'm quit today and I'm owning my quit, and there's no way some punk kid WITH A DIP IN HIS MOUTH is gonna tell me how to bunk cancer.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm still furious. Hope you guys are too.
