Ok ive been dipping for 5 yrs now. I started dipping to stop smoking cigars and now im more addicted to skoal than i ever was black n milds. Only 5 yrs and i can tell ive done alot of damage to my teeth and gums. Not to mention the toll on my walet.
 I was wondering if anyone has had success with the ground up mint products? Are their any health risks useing mint?
Thank you
Nathan
Nathan, lets forgo the question of fake stuff for a moment...
You first admitted that you are addicted. Good because you are an addict. Nicotine calls you bitch!
Second, you have described the damage to your wallet and teeth/gums. Sure. Is that enough for you to quit?
As an addict, I looked at my skoal as my mistress. She understood me better than anyone. I was told over and over to quit. I would feel guilty and have my last dip and "quit". When whatever outside motivation spurred me to quit, when it was gone....I dipped.
I am now 162 days quit. I love it! I am quit because I had a day where I was tired and done being a slave. It really hit me that is was a stupid, no point habit. The only point to it was that I couldn't quit but I wanted to. Once I recognized that I wanted to quit for me....I quit. KTC taught me the secret and magic to control my addiction.
I don't give a shit about the fake shit. It helps some people but at the core, if you don't want to quit and your motivation is temporary, the fake will trigger you to mix with the real and then whats the point. You want the real so you will surrender to nicotine.
Quit cold turkey and detox. Post roll, nic rage and get control of your addiction. Once you quit, post roll and are quit....then get opinions on fake stuff.
My 2 cents. If you are posted good for you. If not, flush it now, take a deep breath, post roll and make your promise to take a long walk through hell. That walk will finally free you from your vice.
