Tdogg,
Don't worry about the fake dip, use it as much as you need to keep the poisonous weed out of your lip. I used it for a little over a month and then just kind of quit. Didn't really even think about it, just kind of backed off using it. I still keep a can around for those momentary urges where I feel the need to have something in my lip. Nothing wrong with using that to keep from using the real crap.
