I’ve been chewing tobacco since my late teens ( I’m 54 now ). If I had to guess why I’d say because at that point in time everyone was doing it and it wasn’t a big deal.
But as the years past, more information came out about how it was bad and how it could cause health issues . Now for me, hearing stuff like that doesn’t quite create the push needed to even think about quitting tobacco. What got me was having my two boys and wife constantly asking me why I kept chewing tobacco when I knew it was bad.
It doesn’t really matter why you decide to quit. It’s just important that you have a reason. Mine was for my family. Now, of course I slip up every now and then. But I am making great strides.
I’m a long haul truck driver and being out on the road all the time can be pretty stressful. Quitting cold turkey was always difficult for me. I’ve found that these non tobacco chew related products make things a lot easier.
Just try a few out and see if it has the same impact on you. If you have any other solutions or good products that helped you quit feel free to send in your suggestions! I’m usually on the road so it might take a while for me to respond, but I will get my son to post it on the site if its helpful information!
