I have chewed for 37 years, ever since I was 8 years old, so virtually my whole life. It has been 3 months now and I am just starting to get over some of the effects of not having nicotine in my system. I have passed the physical withdrawal but still have constant cravings. I want to let you that are just starting your journey that all you have to do is stay strong. When I get a craving I wait 10 minutes and chew a piece of gum. Good luck to all, if I can do it then it is possible!
