The poison sucks. I hate it. I hated it this morning, I hated it at noon, I hated it at supper and I hate it tonight. I enjoy hating it so much I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start over hating it. I quit with anyone that wants to hate it with me.

I got 2 brother in-laws that dip, I am waiting for the day they want to be quit. I spoke to one regarding this site as he asked on how my quit was going, so maybe some interest there. I hope your friend decides to be quit soon derk40, and damn proud to be quit with you today!
I also finding myself wanting to preach the gospel to others that I know and even those I don't about KTC and the fact that quitting is not really as hard as everyone makes it seem. I have really started to notice Ninja Dippers everywhere. I have thought about making up some business cards with the web address to this site to share with them. The advertisements for smokeless on the gas pumps really get my goose I wish I had some KTC bumper stickers to slap on top of those ads. I came across this site looking for an painless way to quit dip 4 or 5 years before I was ready to actually quit ( I remember not making it much past a couple of intro's of those in the suck before I high tailed it out of here). Point is we need to keep having the conversations with are friends and family so they know the resource is here and when and if they are ready they will come! Proud to be a member of this army of bad asses.
Here you go my man! Printable business cards.

These are great! I wish I had some with me yesterday; the internet installation guy had a dip in for all three hours he was at my house. I steered him toward KTC and he wrote down the website but he was going on and on about chantix and nicorette. As Derk says, it requires a more conservative approach when it's a stranger and it's in person.
My brother still dips and my knucklehead 18 year old son as well, both of whom I will see in a couple weeks in Michigan for the latter's high school graduation. I have planted the seeds of my quit in their head, but we all know that the dipper has to want to be a quitter, you can't do it for them. I too am proud to be part of this army with all of you!

This is quite old at this point, but here's a warning about Chantix that was posted in the New York Times.

Chewie- Thanks for the link, I will definitely have those in my wallet from now on.

I lost a friend to Chantix, it works for some but kills others. I wish people would read the warnings on that stuff and take precautions.
