Survey Question

[CopeMan]

I know this is a dumb survey question, but I couldnt think of anything else. So how many of you cattleman and maybe cattlewomen, which I have known a few to do this? Dip tobaccer? If so whats your choice brand. Obviously mine is Copenhagen.

 

[MULDOON]

I dipped copenhagen , until 2001. 20+ years.
I made a choice to quit, and I'm glad I did.

 

[D.R. Cattle]

Yeah I dip that blasted worm dirt too. Use a can a day and enjoy the heck out of it. Wish I could quit cause Florida's tax included puts it up to $5 a can these days.

 

[bwalsh]

Used to dip copenhagen, but quit last may. It's a hard habit to break, but like Muldoon, I am thankfull that I did.

 

[Scotty]

Cope and Red Seal when prices went up. About 7 years. Been clean 2 years now. Figure I didn't want to orphan my wife and kids.

Unfortunatly my hubby isn't that thoughtful. He uses 1 can a day of the cope black. Used to be wintergreen Skoal. Going on 15 years of the shi.t near as I can tell. And it is not pretty if he ever runs out.

Now not saying I'm with out bad habit, but you asked about the snuff.

 

[dun]

Sort of related.
As a youngster, if you snorted it up your nose it was snuff, if you put it in your mouth it was either chew or the finer stuff was snoose.

No, I quit. About 10 or so years ago I was visiting a buddy that was in
MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, while I was there, saw a guy that had mouth cancer. It wasn't a pretty site. Threw my can in the nearest trash can and haven't touched the stuff since. My family is way more important.

 

[MULDOON]

I was at the dentist, and the dentist wanted to do a biopsy , because there was a white spot on my lip where I allways kept my dip.
He didn't tell me to quit , he just asked me to try putting it some where else , like the other side of my mouth.
I tried that for a couple of times, then I decided, why not quit? I'd allready quit smoking.

I went back a couple of months later for them to scrape the tissue , and they couldn't tell what side , i'd been dipping on . the white patch went away.

I figure if I can make it to 100 , then I'll restart all of my bad habits 8) ;-) :cboy:

 

[9 ER]

skoal wintergreen for 20 years. Quit for a year so I could get my life insurance cheaper. Started back after the physical and the swabbing. Man, that dip was the best that I ever had!

 

[sidney411]

Copenhagen long cut and coors longlecks since I started back when I was a freshmen in college at the bar 5 nights a week. :lol: I got a lot of reactions from the "Cowboys" about a girl that could handle anything they could :lol: oh, the good 'ole days!

 

[b l h]

I dip skoal for about 2.5 years, my grandmother dipped some snuff that came in a jar, we used as water glasses afterwards, anyway I thought try some of her snuff. That stuff kicked my but and made me sicker than a dog and i never dipped again

 

[Jake]

some of the cancers and stuff I've seen from it, there's no way I'll ever touch it... not worth it to me, same goes for smoking, just not something I see any need for in my life

 

[TLCfromARK]

Nasty habit. Glad I never got started on it.

;-)

 

[Brad B]

I started dipping Copenhagen when I was 13. A can per day. Wish my dad had kicked my ass for starting it. He chews and started when he was 10, so he said he'd have been a hypocrite for not letting me try it. Got sick on a dip a week or so ago, after dipping for over 20 years. Smelled just like ammonia. Threw that can away and started chewing King B twist, not too sweet like most chewing tobacco. Don't take much of that stuff to do you a while either, it's pretty potent. I tried the Red Seal stuff too. That stuff is grown overseas, probably has DDT in it.

You are right about that. I quit for nearly a year one time, and never did lose the craving. My doctor said that a tobacco addiction is harder to break than a heroine addiction.
