Dont know where to put this

[Hick727]

Alright so im turning 18 pretty quick and im gonna try dip for the first time. I was told to get Skoal Apple Blend Pouches because they are best for beginners. But I heard skoal bandits are three times smaller. So should I do those instead because I heard if you get to much nicotine you throw up. So should I use Bandits or Apple Blend Pouches? Should I take it out right when i start to feel weird and then work my way up?

[bobbymalone]

seriously.

don't start.

don't make me post pictures.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Yeah...not a good idea. I know I am guilty I must admit, but if I could go back I wouldn't have started smoking when I was 15 and I certainly wouldn't be dippin'. 8 years later and it hasn't gotten me anywhere.

If you must though, the Skoal Apple pouches are good, but the best especially for a beginner is Camel Snus. It doesn't make you spit like other pouches do.

[JBMasterAngler]

I'd find a safer and cheaper guilty pleasure if I were you. Pretty gross habit too...carrying a cup of spit around doesn't really attract the ladies

[echotrail]

When in doubt, (And you are) back off and don't do anything.

[BobT]

I'm not one to talk much about it because I've never tried it but I really have never understood how any woman could find a guy attractive with a wad of smelly [PoorWordUsage] in his lip. I couldn't begin to imagine how she could even consider getting intimate.

I recommend a big pinch of Kodiak. Work up a good mouthful of spit.....then swallow.

Your future decisions will be much easier.

This post can't be serious.

BINGO! I wish someone gave me that advice when I was in high school.

I had a friend that wanted to try some in college. We did the same thing as above except with Copenhagen. His face turned white and he was off to the bathroom in no time. He has never asked me or any of our friends for a dip again.

try some grizzly wintergreen or mint get [PoorWordUsage] [PoorWordUsage] drunk too. then put a dip in and puke. you will not be able to smell wintergreen without wanting to puke after your sober up and that was 6 years ago when I did that.

[OnAFly]

Consider how much you'll spend on this over the next year if you start. Say, a tin a week (low). 6$ a week, go buy a rapala a week and leave the chew alone. Trust me, you'll be much happier. Quitting that stuff is horrible.

[Sifty]

From a guy that chew for a long time don't start.

Trying to quit is one of the hardest things I have ever done and if I had a dip today it would be all over.

Save the money and buy a boat or somthing that will give you alot more pleasure.

I know of a guy that got mouth cancer at age 40 and had most of his jaw removed. He died a year later and left a wife and couple of daughters wondering why he dipped. I quit smoking 7 years ago and I have never gone thru anything so hard.

[mrklean]

why would you even want to start if you have never tried it???? Take the money and buy some fishing stuff or somethign in stead of wasting it on chew

[tcwin]

Don't start --

dumbest--absolute dumbest - thing I ever did was start smoking.

Hardest habit thing i have ever done was quit smoking.

quitting illegal drugs was easier than stopping to smoke.

[rugbymn]

Don't start, man. After 17 years of a 1-2 tin a day habit of Copenhagen, the only thing I had to show for is was bad breath, a bunch of women that I "could have had" if I didn't have a big stinky lip, a bunch of brown stains everywhere, an empty wallet, and a habit that was nearly impossible to break. I got physically sick--fever, puking, headache, etc when I quit. The worst part is that my taste buds were fried. I couldn't even taste good food!

Taking my first dip was the worst decision I've ever made, and I'm made a lot of bad decisions.

I'll make a deal with you. Instead of starting, how about you pay me $6 a day and I'll come over and pop you in the mouth every morning. It'll be exactly like chewing, except that quitting will be a lot easier.

That's how I started chewing and how I quit all within 5 minutes. At least that's what my friends told me the next day.

If you're really serious about chewing jump in with both feet and get a big bag of Red Man or Beachnut. That's how real guys do it.

Do yourself a favor and just pick up some sunflower seeds. They are much better for you.

[broken_line]

dude.. dont! and well your basically paying to kill yourself latter down the road i dont thing you would chip in 5 bucks a year to buy a 12 gauge to shoot yourself in the face when your 60 would you?

i have a few friends that do it. and if you ever want a girl friend, it will be that much harder if she knows you chew... it doesnt make you anny "cooler"

just say no! (:

[pj4]

why do you want to chew?

[Daze Off]

If this is a serious post which I am not so sure about.....

DON'T DO IT!!!!!! YOU WILL GET ADDICTED! Tried it in HS and puked my guts out. Started for real at a Bachelor Party at the end of college. Puked again but was determined to learn how to do it. How stupid is that? I chewed Redman, Levi Garrett, and dipped Skoal for more than 30 years...quitting was the hardest thing I have ever done. For the last 10 years I bet I was going through a can/day easy. More if I was fishing. The only time I did not have a dip in was when I was eating or sleeping.

Aside from the cost - was .99/can when I started and around $4/can when I quit, the others costs are dentists and doctors....and the fear that even though I quit I could still get mouth cancer or something.

[Nick Kuhn]

I wouldn't even bother starting. Aside from the health risks it is simply a very gross habit. It'll be frowned upon by everyone around you.

[herefish101]

Judging by the fact that you posted this topic, your still not certain on your decision. The reason you posted is so everyone would affirm your gut instinct to not do this. Trust me, it's the worst decision you'll ever make. Like posted above it is easier to quit illeagl drugs than it is to quit nicotine, I started with kodiak, moved on to copenhagen, I always chewed in my upper lip, the stuff ate a hole almost all the way up to my eyeball, a can a day was normal. The chicks did not dig it, it did not make me any cooler, it just made me addicted to the stuff. I finally quit snoosin by smoking, like that worked. Well needless to say now my lungs are all screwed up, my lip is healed, but I would have zero health problems right now if I would have never started, and it all started with a "dip". Now I feel like a "dip"#*it. Do not start, it is only a means to an end, and the end is not pretty.

P.S. My aunt smoked for fourty some years. We just burried her last winter. She had lung cancer that spread to her brain, a great person, gone, all due to an addiction. Please make the right choice.

[TruthWalleyes]

I won't get on my soap box becasue i am a smoker, would love to quit! Wish i would never have started...

Do yourself, your family, and future children a favor and don't start.

[pulleye16]

your first time go with some rooster. put in as much as your lip will hold, then top it off with a camel red with no filter. Chain smoke that entire pack with a chew in your bottom lip. That'll teach ya!! WOW!!!!!

[mojoputter]

Don't where to put this...

Isn't this an outdoor forum, needless to say Open Water forum..? W T F

[broken_line]

not sure if it would be legal to post a pic of one of someone i know who had to have thier left side of the face REOMVED! and they had to take skin from thier rear to fix the damage.. emagine how a deer skull after the flys had at it for about 2 weeks in the hot sun. thats what his face looked like.

this might change your mind on your "first time dippin"
