Brands & Flavors of Smokeless Tobacco, Dip, Snuff & Chew
Just because the flavor of a dip seems to be non-harmful, make no mistake about it – THESE PRODUCTS CONTAIN TOBACCO AND NICOTINE!!! They are NOT safe alternatives to cigarettes, they are addictive and they can cause cancer.

I agree I have dipped Copenhagen since I was 18 now dipping wolf or grizzly or kayak Winter green long cut
I’m sorry guys n gals; but, I started dipping Copenhagen in ’77. It was only 59 cents a can then. I am 58 now & dip Grizzly Mint most often. I have ‘ QUIT’ 3 times, if you can call it quitting. I don’t because quitting in my eyes is never to again touch the stuff. A can costs now around $6-$7 a can. If I quit now, it will be due to my becoming dead broke! Have no health issues.
Nothing to apologize for… you’ve won the genetic lottery… so far. Sincerely hope you continue to be so lucky. I’m not personally willing to take that chance.
And you’re right… quitting IS forever.
I remember that
Why whenever a person doesn’t like something it has to be a campaign against it for the world this is 2020 all who seek help can get it and are aware. Their are those of us that don’t need you and your I can’t do it alone groups. Iam 73 year’s old chewing on a plug since 1960. Was a high school and college track star in 440 yd. dash, Rodeo champion, Archery champ and still walk the Forrest practiceing with my 52 lb. Fred Bear
Recurve and long bow Drs. Give me good bill of health every year. Only bad health was cancer @ age 39 came from
chemical, used on ranch. Continued to chew all thru my Chemo it helped me calm down no one is bothered since I don’t have to dispose of juice.
If you live a perticular way of life and enjoy it fine do it quite and for yourself if you have to tell someone tell Your God he is always waiting for us all. I’m not pushing just passing on something that has helped me thru Hell and back life hasn’t been easy it’s tough for many with tougher things than cancer or addiction to a dip. So enjoy what you have and be greatfull if your here tomorrow.
Tex.
You know everyone is different, but for me just reading about all these brands and flavors made my mouth water and crave for tobacco. Last time I caved was directly because I started using the fake stuff, like I said everyone is different, but last time I quit I ordered some fake stuff to calm the cravings, while using it I couldn’t get the same satisfaction of the real stuff so it kept pushing for the nicotine fix until one fine day i came across an old can i had forgotten to throw away. I was on day 99 and I said, “what the hell, just one”. Then four years later I had to start all over again. If the fake stuff helps you stay off it then by all means use it, for me, I learned that I have got to stay off it completely.
I quit with you all today
Day 326
Hello, does anyone know of a tobacco free nicotine pouch manufacture? I am starting a company and need a product similar to zyn.com and appreciate any help on this matter. thanks
Hi Richard – there’s boat load of great pouch products out there. Give this a shot: https://www.killthecan.org/tag/pouch/
Bacc Off Wingergreen is the best by far
No but I dip a can of grizzly wintergreen wide cut or long cut a day if you can make it with the amount of nicotine in that I will help you with the financial aid I’m a lawyer
Just try Red Man America’s Best sugar free silver blend. I’ve been addicted the nicotine pouches, dip, snus, cigarettes, vape, and even gone a couple years without nicotine entirely. Right now all I can handle/stomach is chewing tobacco. What I know for sure to not irritate my stomach, throat, or brain as much as any of the other aforementioned things is Red Man Silver Blend. I even swallow a little sometimes too. At least I can taste the leaf and enjoy/savor the flavor. There’s no avoiding that if I were to quit tobacco again due to health concerns, which is a high possibility, then I would quit straight from the leaf. I believe if there’s minimal sugar or if it’s all natural, like Silver Blend seems to be, then it must have the most minimal health hazards of all the other options. You’re probably not going to feel a big pump of nicotine into your brain and heavy immediate floaters in your eye with it like you might with smoke or dip as I do.
Hey peeps what I am trying to find is the tiny plastic tin of leaves that are rolled up ,but these don’t make you spit. I also can’t recall the name of them. Email me if you know what im talking about.ac55 hamptonsr@yahoo.com thank you.
Lil brown shack has it its called Oliver Twist
Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking for this too. It’s too expensive to order from Denmark. Lil Brown shop won’t ship it. Do you know anywhere in the US that will ship?
hey bob who cares you need to grow up and use this web site for what its for:dippers trying to quit
Nate i agree with you but you shld prob leave this website go cuz its for dippers trying to quit but you state valid points and you should try to stop
It’s difficult for me to believe the ignorance of some of you. I’ve been dipping Copenhagen for about 27 years. When I was younger I could stop whenever I wanted and would go up to a year without it so I never thought twice about it. 10 years ago I got to the point where I didn’t want to be addicted to this horrible habit… I couldn’t stop. I tried off and on for years to quit and couldn’t do it. I bought a vape 3 years ago to help quit, it worked for a while but the addiction wouldn’t go away. I’m back in, dipping a can a day of CLC.
If you honestly think dip isn’t harmful to your health you’re sadly mistaken and poorly informed. There is plenty of data available on the cancer/heart disease/ vascular disease risks of those who dip vs the general population. The risks are real.
I wish I could quit forever, I just can’t seem to do it.
I could go on for days but I’m going to let Dr. Rodu do the talking for me. I’ve had way too many relatives die of shit causes that dipped to believe that it causes cancer. I promise that the FDA providing these false numbers is a ploy to make the Christian Anti-Tobacco extremists happy and you have fallen for it my good man.
Dr. Rodu (a doctor who has his work paid for by Big Tobacco) doesn’t hold much weight around these parts.
I don’t trust either government or tobacco company opinions from doctors. What I do trust is evidence provided in courts and debated back and forth by lawyers for both parties in front of a jury. Evidence has shown over and over that tobacco in any form does harm some people. Some do have a genetic make up where they are more likely to be harmed by tobacco. Others have used tobacco all their life with no harmful effects. It really come down to genetics more than anything else. The national average for people getting cancer from dipping tobacco is the same average as for people who have never dipped tobacco. If a person want to use tobacco, use it. If they want to quit, quit. If they don’t want to use it, don’t. It is about personal freedom. How many people will march in the streets and support the killing of babies by abortion calling it; “A woman’s right to choose” but will then turn around and try to try to take away that same freedom of choice from others.
Can’t say I disagree with anything you said here Darrrell – it’s about choice.
Copenhagen my man
I started as a child around 4 or 5. Growing up in a farm and growing our own tobacco it was normal back then. I could go in any store and but cigarettes. Nobody questioned things in the 70s. Everything can be a habit. I enjoydipping. Nasty ?yes. But I even sleep all night with a dip in. I’ll be 50 in November. I enjoy the habit. I know it’s bad for me. But ice come to accept the fact no body gets out of this world alive. Pale who never use tobacco daily from cancer and heart issues. Done die in car wrecks. At least if it kills me I’ll know what done it. And I can say I’ve lived a life I enjoyed. I wish you the best of luck quitting. It does seem impossible. I’ve tried to. But I enjoy it so I’m weak. Pray about it. Ask God to help you. It sure can’t hurt to. May you all be blessed. Those who do and do not dip. God bless you all.
I here you I’ve dipped cope for 12 years grizz for 2 and I love longhorn natural for the past 10 years ready to try it again I’m looking for a non with a little burn no wintergreen no peach just hard tobacco taste similar to what I’m dipping now any help if wasted a lot of good dollars on smokey mountain and cant do it thx
i believe dip can cause cancer but I also believe it’s a very slim chance, in fact research has shown that smokeless tobacco causes cancer in 1% of the general population. I don’t think you need to worry about cancer guys.
what is a good starter dip
If you’ve not started and you “want” to get into dipping, I’d suggest a non-nicotine / non-tobacco version. There are several here: https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/
Copenhagen straight
copenhagen wintergreen is that a good one
Wintergreen used to be my goto for the past year, til I got sick of having the same flavor over and over again
That’s what I started on when I was 6
I started on Kayak Grape and if you like real bitter stuff try long horn wintergreen
That’s not a strong dip in my opinion
Skoal cherry
That’s right Skoal cherry or Skoal mint
Grizzly wintergreen pouches is a good starter I say pouches because it’s easier to start with
Copenhagen is always a very good brand along with grizzly.those two are the most natural chewing tobacco in my opinion.
Kyake and is this kyle tracy cause my buddy kyle started dippin in july
Depends on your taste I’d say Copenhagen straight cause it my daily dip if u like flavors skoal cherry pretty good if u like minty type flavor Copenhagen LCD intervenes a great bet
Wintergreen**
Skoal then work up to grizzly and stay at grizzly or work your way up to cope
Any brand of skoal is a good starter dip
I’ve been dipping sinceI was 10 I’m 51 now used to skoal for years in years I went to Silver Creek fine cut been dipping it for 31 years.
Anything pouches.id suggest copenhagen pouches
I started on pouches because I have braces but for a beginner dip I would recommend mint or wintergreen because it already has a taste your taste buds will recognize
Skoal pouches are the best to start. Your body has to get use to all of the nicotine and everything that is in the dip. I started woth that when i was 15 now im 16 and use copehagrn wintergreen.
Not starting
Smartest comment I read by far!
I started with skoal xtra mint . anything minty is a good start , Stay away from Skoal Berry , that shit will kill you.
True. That shit is gross.
Same
Copenhagen Straight Long Cut, or Copenhagen Southern Blend Long Cut. I started when I was in AIT for Army, those were the two that always stood out to me, love the taste. If that’s too strong you can always go to Skoal, it has a bunch of different flavors. If I had to choose Skoal, I’d pick up Extra Mint.
There’s really no right or wrong one, but you wanna start probably with something that isn’t real strong as using weaker tobacco gives your body time to get acclimated to the nicotine. The strongest ones (ones you should avoid) are Mint, Wintergreen, Southern Blend, and in many cases, Straight. I’d say go for something pretty mild at first like SkoalLC Cherry or Wolf Peach. Then start out with baby pinches and work your way up to your most comfortable serving size.
Oh and if you have acid reflux stay away from mint flavors
OMG. I am communicating from the future Kyle…. & I just slapped the shit out of you!!! If you haven’t started & want to think about it long and hard. It affects everything in your life… everything! And think about what kind of girl will accept it. What kind of girl do you like on the scale. You’ll be lucky to hit a positive #. More than likely you’ll end up with a negative beauty…. in fact I know because again I’m your future. Kyle your future is in your hands… it’s your choice but don’t you ever say you weren’t warned. This goes for anyone thinking of starting. I know when your young you think you can handle anything but as you grow older it’s unbelievable how big life gets. One more thing… if you have to ask the question what good is it for you to know… use your common sense
Sincerely yours your future you…. ps for everyon… I’m not preaching I’m speaking from experience & if I had the chance to go back & slap some sense into me…. I wouldn’t slap I’d break my jaw-
I actually like this answer, my husband dips. When we first met we made a better who could stop their bad habbit. I was a smoker him a Dipper. I haven’t smoked in 2 years he buys a can of chew every other day. I won the bet but I love him and I chose to deal with his nasty habbit. Spit bottles are gross, I was totally against dating someone who dips, my entire growing up. I am 30 now and and have reasoning lol. But I agree it will be hard to fine a women to accept that bad habbit. Future Kyle hopefully present Kyle takes your advice.
Listen to Chris. I’m 56 y/o. I started when I was 15 or 16 y/o and it wasn’t a negative.We didn’t know it’s long term affects. We also didn’t know how hard it would be to stop. I have yet to succeed in my efforts to quit. 40 years, man!! One of the greatest talents in life is the ability to learn from others mistakes and not make them yourself. Listen. Just don’t do it.
Damn I agree I thought this was a place to help me quit you dont want to start
Hawkins
Grizzly dark mint
Grizzly wintergreen
Why would you want to start? You see all these people complaining about how hard it is for them to quit and u think it’s a good idea? It’s an awful habit to start and if ur not addicted already dont start!!! It’s expensive and eventually you’ll regret ever starting. I’ve been chewing and smoking over 15 years and I’ve been trying to quit for at least 7 of those years. Once your hooked ur hooked there isn’t any turning back from that decision. If u want to destroy ur body now then so be it but here’s a couple warnings: #1 ur not cool!! #2 it ruins ur teeth, gums and throat #3 most woman fund it very unattractive and won’t want to be with u #4 if u do find a woman that will be with u she will be grossed out every time u go to kiss her and most likely won’t kiss u… So rethink ur decision of wanting to start. Don’t be young and dumb man. Even though it may look cool to u now but when u get out of high school absolutely nobody will ever think it’s cool!!!
Grizzly dark wintergreen
Only 1% of the general population get cancer from chewing tobacco, becasue not a big percentage of the population does it. What’s the percentage of people who do chew tobacco, that get cancer?
I’m pretty sure this was calculated about Sweden. And they’re a huge tobacco country. And not as big as the US
Smokeless tobacco has the same amount of carcinogens as coffee. And just tobacco had nicotine. Coffee has caffeine which are both addictive. The only real truth is tobacco is addictive, just like coffee. And think about how many people in the U.S. alone drink coffee.
“Smokeless tobacco has the same amount of carcinogens as coffee.”
Is this true? I’ve never seen this particular factoid. Can you please provide a source?
They can make up facts to.
Just what carcinogens are you referring to?
Go work in a surgical ICU where they have to resect areas on patients who have oral cancer. Trust me… you will be convinced.
How the hell is it a slim chance? According to http://www.tobaccoatlas.org/country-data/united-states/ 19.2% of men alone died in 2010 from tobacco usage. How is this not risky? That’s nearly a fifth of the men who died in 2010.
I am girl at first when I put a dip in I thow up that was at 14 and that was grizzle wintergreen and now I am 22 and doing longhorn wintergreen. I do it because itz like a relaxer for work when working with damass
I’ve always been stuck to grizzly. Strong flavour. Powerful hit. Cheap price.
Ok guys lets be honest here your chances of getting mouth cancer are low. Remember cancer is treatable if found early. I do monthly checks and I recommend you do it too. Chewing tobacco and dip don’t cause mouth cancer or any cancer for that sort. It may effect it but it’s not the main cause. Everybody wants you to stop dipping because they think it looks nasty. Well they have to suck it up and deal with it. Cancer is an overgrowth of cells and last time I checked dip and chew don’t do that… SMOKE DOES. So nobody should stop dipping because a man in a white labcoat says stop dipping and chewing tobacco just because he’s paid to say that. Do what you want to do. I’m 25 and I’ve dipped since I was 16. I have no health problems and I’m active and fit. I also go through a can a day. Do what you want.
In the interest of “being honest”. Check out this story about an “active and fit” dude.
http://whyquit.com/whyquit/SeanMarsee.html
And I’d agree… do what you want.
I appreciate what yall do. I am stuck between wantin to quit an lovin the oral fixation. The good book says not to be mastered by anything so i gotta take breaks which seems to help but yall got any ideas oe substitutes for regular snuff. Sometimes i use chaw like redman but i wanna get away from ST completely but still get that good spit in. Somethin bout havin a plug in feels great.
Hey Chance – there’s a ton of great non-tobacco, non-nicotine chews available here: https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/
If you’re looking for something more similar to chew, you’ll have to go with sunflower seeds or perhaps beef jerky / Slim Jims.
Hey chewie, which of these products is closest to grizzly longcut wintergreen
Hey Ryan – when you say “these products” are you referring to the alternative products that are listed here: https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/
If so, then I’d point you to Hooch Wintergreen
http://blog.killthecan.org/2011/10/hooch-snuff-review/
Bacc-Off Energized Wintergreen
http://blog.killthecan.org/2012/05/bacc-off-review/
Those two (along with SMC) are probably my favorites http://blog.killthecan.org/2012/09/smokey-mountain-snuff-review/
Big league chew surprisingly helps, if you chew loose leaf or can fight the cravings
The Marsee family sued though and lost the case. A jury said that snuff was in this case not the cause of Sean Marsee’s tongue cancer.
I’ve not researched the details of that particular case so I can’t comment. I’ll simply say this… while I clearly hate Big Tobacco, if I were on a jury where someone was suing them I’d most likely rule the same way. Not because tobacco wasn’t at fault but because I’d have a hard time awarding the case to the Marsee family for something Sean chose to do to himself.
I’ll get back to you after I’ve done some more research…
I’ve dipped since I was 7. I’m 15 now. No problems from it. I dip anything Copenhagen but usualy Copenhagen wintergreen.
Now that I’ve approved this comment, you can stop leaving it. Thanks.
PREACH IT. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell everybody when they tell me to stop.
I’ve never joined conversations before but after reading some comments thought I would chime in…I’ve been chewing since I was 12 and am now 53 .. I’ve never had any tobacco related health issues.. That being said , it is obviously addicting and not “good” for you..so if you’ve never tried it..don’t. Just because nothing has happened to me so far doesn’t mean anything won’t happen to you. Every body is different and reacts different ways…my advice is run your own life and don’t let any addiction run it for you……
Is chewing tobacco any safer than dipping tobacco? Or is it worse?
Johnny chewing tobacco is pretty much the same a dip. Just lasts longer in my opinion.
There’s less nicotine in chew tobacco
do tobacco pouches cause mouth cancer??
Theoretically, all tobacco products cause mouth cancer.
I have been dipping for 5 weeks now will get mouth cancer? I dip grizzly wintergreen and grizzly mint. I can go through one can in 5 days
I go threw a can a day grizzly dark wintergreen for the last 6 years 22 yr now
No way-it takes years and its not a garentee-this site is too cought up in anti tobacco media,everything on here is exaggerated dips not healthy but it probably won’t kill you
It’s “caught” but that’s not why I’m responding.
I’m not going to bother defending whether or not the real experiences of real quitters we relay here are exaggerated or not. Be your own judge. I know what I know and I know that dip did to me.
That said, I’d tend to agree with you. Dip “probably” won’t kill you. But why take the chance?
you guys need to do some research dip has about 30x the cancer causing agents of normal things like food ect ect while cigs are about 300x. Dip is not safe it does cause mouth cancer i know someone who has mouth cancer from it. The safest type tobaco is steam pasturized snus it has like 3.5-5.0 tsna/ cancergenes. Research (Sweden Snus ) (Cancergenes in dip) ( Cancergenes in cigerettes ) Google is your freind do the research your health is worth it
I have been told to quit chewing by someone who had a cigarette hanging from their mouth. My point is that people get so caught up in how tobacco causes cancer they don’t see the whole picture. I’m trying to see the point of view from all these people that are anti-tobacco but i just cant seem to get head that far up your a**. Let people make their own decisions and let them make their own decisions.
Not as far as i can tell the danger i can tell you is you may go from a can every 5 days to a can every other day. My advice take breaks every once in a while if you dont auit. Gove you time to recover and reduce your tolerance
Dylan I have been dipping a can a day for 4 years. I’m saying anything won’t happen but it’s highly unlikely…
lol dip i much safer. stop spreading lies to these people
Dip is much safer than what Tyler? What lies are we spreading?
They all cause cancer
I am 20 years old and I started chewing a few months ago. When I first started I used the Skoal Mint pouches and a few minutes into the first time I threw up, but eventually I guess I got used to it. Now I chew maybe a can a week, is that a lot?? Right now I am trying to find the brand I like the best, any suggestions??
You’re in the wrong place if you’re looking for real tobacco. We’re all about quitting here.
I’ll never quit
If you like hard straight up tobacco dips your best bet is Copenhagen fine cut or long cut original… If you like candy like dips Skoal is for you and if you like in between a hard and sweet dip go with Copenhagen straight
Wish I could use just a can a week. I’m 44 and been dipping since I was 19, and I go through about 4 to 5 cans a week.
Don’t feel lonely. For 20 years I have been dipping and throw up EVERY time, however; I have been keeping a slim and trim figure.
Try Copenhagen wintergreen its cheap, last long and tastes great
Try copenhagen
I am 14 ive diped grizzly green 6 times will it affect my health just those 6 times
Probably not. But you never know. Quit while you’re ahead.
im 15 i have been dipping for a year now and cant stop dont want to stop and never will stop
Same. I’m a girl and I’ve been dipping for almost a year
Same here. Why does everyone here tell people to quit when they are doing it too… people will do what they want what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
I chew a role a day of anything
Um… congrats?
you now you still do it dont no why you lie
English. Punctuation. Capital letters. Proper use of words.
Trust me. You’ll be glad when you learn them.
This is hilarious. The guy who is “fighting to keep us healthy ” is to caught up being an English teacher Advance his cause. It’s people like this that make me sick. Quit drinking soda they cause health issues. Quit eating gluten it’s bad for you. Unless you grow your own food and raise your own cattle you’re eating shit that has man-made chemicals in it that’ll probably all bad for your health so why pick on Tobacco? Is it because they’re successful?
@Ethan
It’s “too” caught up.
Advance shouldn’t be capitalized.
Tobacco shouldn’t be capitalized.
Now that I’ve got my English out of the way…. I can get back to fighting to keep you healthy. *sigh*
Haha! Touche. God I love America land of the almighty opinion!
In fairness this is blog about quitting. I have no intention of quitting and just happened to stumble across this page heading decided to troll. I love a good debate though so here we go. Why would you make a comment about my misplace capitalizations and not about why you chose tobacco as your scapegoat and not one of the million other health concerns that scientists have told us is killing us? No more trolling simply seeking answers.
Appreciate the legit question / conversation. You’re absolutely right. Damn near everything will kill us. Theoretically, we could have the same “crusade” against a ton of other things whether it be soda, meat, coffee, etc. It’s a legitimate question. I can’t speak for anyone else, but just for myself.
Smokeless tobacco damn near killed me. If not physically then mentally and emotionally. It’s something that I did for 16+ years and when I quit there was very little info out there that spoke to me, the dipper. There was (and continues to be) a ton of info for smokers. I, and the other founders of KTC, set out to build a community where people who were looking to quit could come and get support, get questions answered, etc. That’s what we’ve done.
Why tobacco? Because it affected me personally. I’m not one of these anti-tobacco zealots (or at least I don’t try to be) that says “EVERYONE NEEDS TO QUIT – BAN ALL TOBACCO!!!” That’s sort of a silly tact in my opinion. We’re all adults. If you choose to use tobacco, that’s your choice. If and when someone makes their decision then we’ll be there for them.
Very commendable response dictating an apology on my part. Keep up the good work brother
I have been on and off of chew for the last 13 years, I’m now turning 40 in a few months, I’ve quit cold turkey for over a year before. But after a friend offered some went back to it. My wife wants me to quit, its a hard thing to just give up. I started chewing redman long leaf while I was deployed to Iraq. and changed its up to Skoal and now Grizzly.
Dominic,
One thing I have learned in my many attempts and failures to quit is you have to do it you YOU. Not for anyone else. I have tried quitting for family members and that did me no justice as I didn’t want to quit. You may need to show yourself a reason why you want to quit. I did, and now I am more determined than ever. However, that is my rationality behind quitting. I hope everything works out for you.
Best of luck to you.
Chewie, ive been looking at some of your comments but i never see you or anyone else say theyve had any extreme health issues. Do you know anyone thats actually gotten mouth cancer or issues from dipping? All these people have been dipping for double digit years and i dont see anything that says its ruined there life. I was kinda skeptical on the whole smokless is safer than ciggarettes thing but it doesnt seem like many people have issues with it. Obviously ciggarettes are worse because of the lungs but let me know thanks.
Sure. Here’s just a couple.

I’m not going to bother going into the whole “safer” discussion. Smoking is dangerous. Smokeless is dangerous. Don’t make the mistake of thinking otherwise.
Hey chew rarely gives mouth cancer, 9/10000 cases a year. I know people who’ve dipped for 60 years, and 50,40,30,20 and they’re still going at it bud
Are you honestly suggesting that since you know an old dipper it’s not dangerous? I’m not going to even bother…
It does not effect EVERYONE in the same way. Best to stop if you are experiencing symptoms.
My Grandfather had a golf ball size of Plow Boy in his jaw 24/7 since about age 15…. unless he was sleeping. Never had a problem..
I’ve chews for a few years now and I don’t see a problem with it. I have never heard of anybody that I know that has had cancer from tobacco products either.
You either A) have incredible luck or B) don’t know too many people.
Either way you not having a problem with it doesn’t change what these products do.
They make beef jerky in dip form, you should chew that instead, and sunflower seeds help alot too.
I am southern lady that loves Redman and Beechnut – Women have the Right to Chews.
That you do. Who said otherwise?
Chewie I agree with u I have been dipping for almost 22 years now an I agree with u I would do anything to quit I have spent thousands on top of thousands on dip grizzly wintergreen an straight an yeah my teeth are literally getting holes in them from dip an I brush an floss an rinse every day but that doesn’t mean nothing cause dip has fiberglass in it that cuts the gums so the nicotine can flow in an yes I’m chewing now an I would love to quit but it’s so hard I have quit drinking an smoking an everything but dip is the hardest to quit an the tobacco like grizzly an all other brands of dip ain’t what gives u cancer it’s the chemicals that gives u cancer like pesticides an chemicals to keep the disease away from it an most important the fiber glass it cause cancer to my great granddad chewed rope tobacco for years an he lived to be 101 but that’s because he raised his own organic an plus he didn’t chew the hard stuff like we do today I use to work on a tobacco farm an if u only could see the pesticide we used u would quit now we had to wear suits an respirators an everything just to spay this crap an it said toxic right on the side of the spayer so yeah the chemicals is what’s causing cancer not the tobacco but I appreciate what y’all are doing here keep up the good work chewie an God bless maybe some day I can quit an hope it’s soon
You better know it, Honey….. I get my ass chewed out by my Missus every day !!1
I’ve only been dipping for a month but I’ve been addicted I go through maybe a can or two ever two days not much but I can feel it and honestly I’m stopping by getting an ecig with no nicotine and a high flavor boost because I go for the flavor of dip and it’s simple and easy but that’s personally your choice it’s America you have the right to do what you want but I’m trying to lend a helpful hand to those who want to quit
I’m 16 and I dip a hole role of red seal natural in 2days
I’m 37,I started dipping when I was 12, blended in ciggarittes at 14, I been mainly smoking since 20, LISTEN TO me, the Ciggarittes are NOT the SAME as they was back if the whole”Fire Safe”Kind/SCAM. The dip isn’t either. I still smoke, I’m like a crack addict on ciggarittes, I never have done drugs in drank, but I’m telling YOU quit NOW. If the products was what they was 7year ago back, I would say take the chance. But not now. ,Look I know a lot of this people are just wanting to be Authoritarians and take away rights and freedoms, and most of this anti smokers/dippers are just PUKES that says Beer is better than smoking. But I’m NOT one of those,, It’s like a former Cocaine Addict that spoke at my high school years ago said, There is nothing wrong with Smoking a cigarette ,a joint ,doing a line of clean Coke,having a drank it whiskey here and there, BUT,THE PROBLEM IS VERY,VERY FEW PEOPLE PER MILLION,CAN Just use it some very lightly. So stop now.
So my POINT is Weather it be Drugs,or Tobacco Products, it’s all Addictive, and there was risks with Tobacco Products for years,but with all the chemical additives like the fire safe ciggarittes have, and the chemicals additives in smokeless tobacco so it will stay fresher ,longer tell it sells on the shelf, they are MORE dangerous than EVER!
I honestly feel terrible for any one that gets addicted to chewing. I have chewed for years by choice some times I go for months without any tobacco or nicotine and other times I go threw 3 cans a day but its all based on if I feel like it. I could stop today and never touch it again. But I still chew because I know I can stop at any time and the buzz is great!
Yeah, i felt the same way for 4 years and I could stop and not care, and I didn’t care. But now I’m addicted… It took 5 years for me to be addicted
If anyone can help, I just started. It’s getting addicting and I don’t want to end up being a 2-3 can a day person. Any help?
Hey bud. I’m only 15 and I dip. One way to stop it is to start getting sunflower seeds and if that doesn’t work, smokey mountain makes a non tobacco dip that doesn’t contain nicotine or tobacco and can’t give you cancer.
Find a substitute. Like gum or sunflower seeds
I’m 18 and I’ve dipped consistantly every day for the past 2 years. about a tin and a half a day. wouldn’t want it any other way.
“I’m 18″… says a lot.
Don’t worry, one of these days you’ll smarten up 😉
Is grabba leaf tobacco?
Honestly I don’t know. I’ve never had it.
Chewie have you ever had dip or chewing tobacco
Yep. 16 years with at least a can / day. Coming up on a decade quit.
Amen brother
Where can I find a big can of grizzly wintergreen long cut? I’m looking for my boyfriend! Please help
Hi Jeannie – sorry I can’t be more helpful. KTC is a site dedicated to helping people quit chewing.
Dipping*
What if we don’t want to quit? Leave us alone tobacco isn’t even bad like it’s addictive yes but I’m 35 been dipping since I was 12 and there is nothing wrong with me dentist can’t even tell I dip….
If you don’t want to quit, then don’t come to an anti-dip website and troll the comments.
If you’ve been dipping since you were 12 and your dentist can’t tell… hate to say it bro… you’ve got a shitty dentist 😉
Or the dentist didnt notice it dumbass
FYI- Nicotine doesn’t cause cancer.
FYI – no one said it did.
No it doesn’t, but the chemicals Does

Hey im josh 25 been dippin since 2009 had my first at 12 in 2002 i dont wanna quit but to slow down a bit any tips
My name is Taylor delainey I’m a girl I’m 18 , I know it’s weird to hear a girl that dips but shit I’m addicted to it and I need to stop so my boyfriend and gotta freak out every damn time he sees menwith a pinch but stopping is the hard thing , what’s a way guys?
Cold turkey is the cleanest way.
I dip I’m a girl. Not weird just rare. Cold turkey is better but much harder try substitute like keeping something in your mouth. Gum seeds anything it helps. I dip because it helps with my stress since I have panic attacks but besides the point. Just don’t substitute dip for cigarette or chew. Because fighting an addiction with another will only hurt you more.
Im 15 and been dipping for 6 years i go through a roll of Copenhagen straight a day and love it
5 cans a day goddamn ?
Yeah, smoking skills almost 500,000 people a year including secondhand smoke, and dippers are the ones that get looked down upon. God forbid someone wants to have some common curtesy and not expose someone else to their habits. I could see why someone would want to get rid of smoking seeing as how it effects other people too, but until someone spits dipspit in someone’s mouth, they really just need to shut their cake hole about it.
Everybody go to YouTube watch “How smokeless Tobacco Can save your LIFE” dipping is a safe alternative
That’s a pretty good comedy piece… good ol Mr. Mudjug. Dude’s hilarious.
That video is predicated on a “Pick your poison” premise. You have the option of not picking any poison. Personally I suggest no poison.
EXCUSES are not based in reason.
Darn hard to find a good reseller of dip these days. I’m tired of the limited offerings from Skoal. I was grateful to find the summary of the many options above – I know, I know, you guys are all about kicking the can. One day. I’m not really convinced that they have conclusively determined there is a link between oral cancer and dip. Smoking, yep, agree 100% that is bad for you. Who lights stuff on fire and sucks it into their lungs? That’s just crazy right there.
If you’re not conviced there’s a link, I won’t bother trying to convince you as it would be futile. If you’re ever ready to stop being a slave to nicotine, we’ll be here.
A slave to nicotine? Who are you exactly? Some religious nut? A guy or girl trying to change the world on a website? I don’t understand why you’re doing this? What’s your story?
My story in a nutshell…
I was addicted to dip for 16+ years. I quit. I’m better off for it.
There are others out there who are looking to quit. We provide information for them.
Now… what’s your story? Troll? Someone looking to quit? Or have you tried and failed several times? There’s got to be a reason you’ve run across our little site on the web.
Hi I am a dipper in the UK, I want to quit but herbal alternatives are not available in the UK due to sale restrictions from the EU. Is there any websites that will ship it to the UK?
Andy – you’d have to check with the specific vendors as they all have different shipping options. Coupons, reviews, ingredients, etc. available here: https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/
I’m Brian currently 27 and dip 2 1/2 – 3 cans a day of kayak lc winter green and have been dipping almost 19 years somthing has got to give for health and financial reasons. I don’t want to try fake tobacco I did that for 10 months in 2012. I don’t want a crutch I want to be freed from this bondage. Anyone have any advice or helpful scriptures.
Try sunflower seeds the ones still in the shell. Put a few in your mouth at once and shell them then eat seed. Salted is best. Good luck
1st corinthians 19-20
1st corinthians 6 19-20
I had to look it up…
“1 Corinthians 6:19-20New International Version (NIV)
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
also 1 corinthians 10:23 is dippin a thing that edifies God? Most likely not. I struggle with it as well though so i cant pass judgment.
“1 Corinthians 6:19-20New International Version (NIV)
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
I dip 2 cans of Copenhagen a day and have for 15 years and I love it
I remember that feeling of “loving” my Kodiak too. I’ve come to find out that it was my addiction talking. When / if you’re ready to quit, we can help. You know where we are.
Fred you’re a fucking savage. I like your idea
When you want to stop, this website is here. I was a two can a day (sometimes 3) dipper too. When you want to quit remember that it’s not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog that will carry you over.
I smoked for 11 years, started dipping skoal berry for about a month, before I educated myself on what I was doing to myself. When I discovered Swedish Snus, I then realized that the addictive burn and buzz from skoal was really all the chemicals that they added, and had nothing to do with tobacco at all. Now my I’m slowing cutting back, not because I’m forcing myself to, the boredom of dipping General Loose Snus and the lack of chemical additives is naturally allowing my body to stop tobacco products all together. And being that Swedish snus is considered to be a food, it’s against their laws to allow anything bad to be put into their product except water, tobacco, salt, humectants, and flavouring. I think it’s the best first step in quitting dip.
My name is wesley im 19 I do skoal berry blend, I go through a roll of it in 3 or 4 days I have got to stop dippen as much as I do any tips? I dip so much cause I get bored all day
Hey Wesley – if you’re looking to quit but still want to continue the “act” of dipping, there are several products available that contain no nicotine and no tobacco that would be perfect for you. You can find them at the following link which will also give you reviews, coupons and ingredients. https://www.killthecan.org/your-quit/smokeless-alternatives/ Also, when you’re ready to quit, I’d urge you to join our forum at http://forum.killthecan.org/ where we’ve got over 19,000 members that “get it” cause we’ve all been right where you are.

You probably should smoke hooka
There safer but it depends on the the vaper stuff put alittle at a time.
Okay my name is Taylor I’m a girl I’m 18 and I live in fort worth tx , well it is kinda weird to see that a girl dips but I am trying to stop I dip Copenhagen southern blend and skoal berry and I need some help on quitin , any help
There are a number of options. I used Nicotine lozenges and Smokey Mountain Straight. The blend is a little sweeter than Cope straight but you get used to it.. I dipped Skoal and Cope straight for 30 years.
Woman Ninja Dipper
The problem with using the lozenges is this… you’re not “quit” and you can’t really begin to heal until the nicotine is out of your bloodstream. By using those lozenges all you’ve really done is switched your delivery method. It would be similar to a Jack Daniels drinker switching to Budweiser.
Don’t do berry blend do wintergreen like grizzly or copenhagen or just do a natural dip like straight or natural it stronger and the wintergreen burn a little bit so it will make you not want to go threw a role that fast I go threw a role of grizzly in like 2 to 3 or days I’m so use to doin it
Nah, fuck that. Drop the berry and get yourself a log of Copenhagen wintergreen brotha.
I’ve been doing snuff for two years but need to cut back one can only last a day and a half and need some help.
Alternate between smoking and dipping. Kinda worked for me.I’m 59 male. Smoke was worse for me. Had to keep in top shape (82nd airborne 74-81)back when a pouch of beechnut was 25 cents on base. Course a 6pk. Of blatz was 99 cents. Sorry ran of the subject here. But seriously remember when Copenhagen container was made of cardboard & wax? Darn if I can find it in Denver. Probably not looking hard enough. Any feedback would help! Thank you for putting up with my rambling! Life is short! Enjoy!!
Those fiberboard Copenhagen cans, are ok Copenhangen Snuss, and the only other one I know is Copenhagen Longcut.
Only a day and a half…lol I WI 1 can would last me a day and a half
Left cigarettes for Copenhagen now im trying to cut back and quit the can.A can last 3 or 4 days but thats still bad ,need some help.

But the places are sold out a lot
Email me
Carl – I’ve got no idea where to purchase Longhorn Natural…. KillTheCan.org is all about quitting dip. When you’re ready, we can help.
Tobacco is a sacred, healing plant in Native American spirituality. It was used long before European contact and “big tobacco”. This plant that you seem to consider a scourge is beneficial in certain types of mental illness and also Parkinson’s disease. This is because of nicotine, a relatively harmless drug that promotes feelings of contentment, and pleasure. All tobacco that is not smoked, i.e. snuff, snus, chewing tobacco, etc., is less carcinogenic than smoked tobacco. The cancer risks of tobacco, particularly dip, are overblown. Tsna levels (tobacco specific nitrosamines), the principal carcinogens in tobacco, can be controlled (look at the Gothiatek standards for Swedish snus). If we focused on safer tobacco rather than letting the government find another way to take our hard earned money through tax raises, or banning it outright, which you probably support, we could make tobacco much safer than it already is, which is pretty safe to begin with. I come from a long, proud line of tobacco users, sir, and it really gets under my skin when I hear someone defaming tobacco, and in doing so, defaming America. Tobacco is in my blood, literally and figuratively, as I write this. You twist the truth. You lie. Citing specific cases of cancer caused by dip makes it seem that it is much more of a risk than it is in reality. But you don’t live in reality, do you? Per capita, cases of cancer among tobacco users are exceedingly rare, and the risk is negligible.
Oh Dale…
I’m not going to respond to the place tobacco has in the Native American spirituality as I have no frame of reference.
What I have issue here is your rather ignorant statement that I “probably support” the outright banning of tobacco. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Believe me, don’t believe me… your choice.
As for your long long line of proud tobacco users… good for you.
You’ve got every right to be offended for me “defaming tobacco”. People being offended seems to be a national past time these days. I speak from personal experience. I hated being an addict to the stuff and I’m proud that I was able to to quit. I was weak and now I’m stronger and better off without it in my life.
I’m having a hard time making the leap from “defaming tobacco” to “defaming America” but I’ll let that one slide.
I get a tub at food lion its like $16.00 and if they have a sale $13
