So, I find out that my dad has dipped snuff for years and finally quit. Surprisingly, he doesn’t have mouth issues. Had to have surgery and a few teeth pulled. I don’t smoke or dip any snuff. Kinda glad too.
Anyone here chew or dip snuff?

Was the surgery a result of the dip???

Tried a dip once some 30+ years ago. Got all sweaty and nauseous from it. Never again.
I work with guys that won't live without it. Such a gross habit.

Yeah, 1 tech I work with does it. Then complains about how a can costs $4.98~
he already has lost 5 teeth. Makes me shake my head
One of our plant operators and one engineer, both about 28-30 have bad dental issues already from dipping! If that ain't reason to quit, nothing is.

Ugh, unfortunately I do, but have been successful with cutting back recently. Would like to stop all together. Cigarettes and stuff never really got me, but Grizzly long cut wintergreen of all things sunk its hook in hood. Recent rule changes at work have actually been a really good thing, and I've actually been using it less outside of work too.
I've got all my teeth, but do have some gum erosion, which is permanent. Need to stop before it's more than that.

ill keep you in my prayers man. After what dad went thru with it; I can think of better things to spend $5 on. Sorry if sounds like I’m lecturing you but yeah chewing/dipping snuff is a bad habit

I smoked and used Skoal until age 30. I started dipping very small amounts and swallowed, never spitting.
Oh no, I'm well aware, but addiction is a crazy thing. Being forced to not use it for the bulk of the day was something I needed. It has gone from an all day thing, to an only in the evening thing, to a just every other day or so thing. Some tasks at home and stuff still make me want to dip, like yard work, or the driver's exterior door handle on the Ranger breaking.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
When I was 12 years old my family and I went to a crawfish boil at one of my dads friends house. There were about 9-10 of us kids that knew one another. One of my friends had a can of Skoal and we all took a small dip. Along came a new family we didn't know and they sent their son to go play with us. He asked what we had in our mouth. After telling him he wanted to try some. So, we told him to dip the lid into it and put it inside his lower lip. We then told him to get the juices going then swallow. Man, that kid turned greener than the Skoal can and was barfing like mad! His mom chewed us a new rear end, but the dads were all laughing, saying kids will be kids.
Later on, we were riding the go-kart on the gravel road. When it was my turn to ride, the steering rods popped out, I lost control, I went between 2 cars, and a trailer hitch went into my side! I pulled myself off of it, ran about 10' then passed out. I think I lost 2 pints of blood and was in a torso cast with 152 stitches inside and out, for about 3-4 weeks (I think). The hitch had no ball on it and it missed my ribs. My dad had to replace the back seat of the LTD because of so much blood loss, even though my brother was keeping pressure on my wound with my t-shirt. Like I said, the Lord works in mysterious ways!
But, the kid turning green was funny.

Friend used to work in the Oklahoma oil fields. After work he had beechnut in the upper left Copenhagen in the upper right, red man in the lower left or right, Smoking a cigar or cigarette while he was drinking a beer. Yeah he is still alive and no mouth issues!
I did a can of Gold River when I was a teen. Never dipped since.
