Don't want to quit but I know I probably should.

Billy, your posting here tells me you DO WANT TO QUIT! So do it today, flush the shit in the toilet, and be quit from a very young age. I didn't start the shit until I was 28 or so, and years fly by the older you get. Break free of the NIC bitch right now, and be a free man at an early age.

I'm almost 20 but I've dipped for 6 or so years anywhere between 2 and 4 cans a day. I know I need to quit but I haven't had any real health complications and don't really get much grief for it. I've also been told by several dentists and orthodontists ways to almost certainly avoid cancer with dipping. Like I said I don't want to quit, I enjoy it WAY to damn much and I know it will be very difficult. I always said I'd quit when I noticed those white spots in my mouth that are supposed to be precancerous but I haven't even had so much as an ulcer from it. My teeth aren't discolored much from what I can see but I brush really often and use white strips and everything exclusively to avoid this problem. I guess I want to quit before my luck runs out and I do wind up with cancer or something but I never believed fire was hot until I got burned if you know what I mean. I just enjoy it WAY to much and don't really want to quit but deep down I guess I know it would be best if I did. I've "quit" for 2 weeks once because I had planned to go to work for Georgia Power and they have a policy that bans dipping but plans changed and I went to college instead and as soon as I thought I had no reason to quit I went right down the street to buy a roll of Copenhagen Straight. That's the closest I've come to quitting and while, as I was buying that roll, there was a brief moment of defeat like "yeah you can't quit anyway dude." It just didn't bother me enough to quit.
