I got a suggestion and wondered if anyone had ever thought of it. Would there be a 'niche' to take all of the Words of Wisdom, and a few other items of humor and such and maybe get them bound and available at the KTC Store?

Just thinking there is so much good information.....
If there's interest in this I'm happy to make it available on the store.

OK Fellas, I know I am going to be faced with some situations soon where I'm gonna feel so tempted to dip, but I know that I can't hide in my house the rest of my life either.  Specifically, I'm looking forward to some outdoor outings I have planned with friends soon.

At the beginning of this week, when I quit, I decided I would try and slowly pull off anything that resembled taking a dip.  Mostly I've used fireball candy, gum, seeds, and alot of beef jerky.  But I think I might need to try some of that imitation mint snuff for these outdoor outings.

What is the best? I always dipped Copenhagen Long Cut, then Grizzly Wintergreen for the last several years (cheaper).  What do you guys think?
First day here so I'm not sure If I'm doing this right. I quit 9 days ago and use Smokey Mountain Snuff a couple times a day. If you used Griz Wintergreen, the Smokey Mountain Wintergreen is pretty good. The pouches are very good. If you've never ordered, you can get a free 5 pack of different flavors to try. I did that a year ago....I started back up after 3 or 4 days. The cans I got from Smokey Mountain were still good when I quit on the 4th. Good luck and stay strong.
i was a mint and wintergreen guy. smokey mountain worked for me.

it took me a while to find it (2 weeks), so once i had that replacement, it was AWESOME. there are some that caution against using fake dip. it saved my quit numerous times. at the end of the day, you do whatever it takes to keep tobacco out of your piehole.

you will eventually just stop using fake. with no side effects. hell, without any reall thought about it at all. you'll run out one day, forget to get more and never get around to it. you might grab a tin of fake for a road trip, but you'll drop it once you get where you're going.

there are a ton of other products that people like more than smokey mountain; i never tried others... couldn't find them and with smokey mtn, i didn't really need to. (a weird situation kept me from being willing to order alternatives via internet/mail... worked at a boarding school and could have gotten in trouble for dipping/having dipped on campus).

find a fake product that works for you. texture is as important as taste, but nothing will be perfect. don't throw away a decent alternative looking for the perfect non-dip dip. good enough is good enough with fake. you'll just need it to fight off a crave.
We've got a slew of reviews available here: http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/reviews.asp and some coupons here: http://www.killthecan.org/yourquit/alternatives.asp

If you're looking for a close sub to Grizzley Wintegreen I'm strongly suggest either Hooch or SMC Wintergreen. Hooch probably matches the taste better, but SMC is more of a "long cut".

My reviews of both of those are here:

http://blog.killthecan.org/2011/10/hooch-snuff-review/
http://blog.killthecan.org/2012/09/smok ... ff-review/

And I'll agree with others... feel free to chew this stuff with no remorse. They're tools. Use them.
