What is different about cigarettes and chewing tobacco compared to pipes and cigars? It seems like people who use the former get hooked while people who use the latter can have one every once in a while, enjoy it, and move on.

Isn't it all made from the same stuff?

Cigarettes are designed by the tobacco companies to be addictive. The fuckers add extra Nicotine. I was addicted for years before quiting 8 years ago.

Yeah, dipping can be mild and fun (like pipes and cigars) or super hardcore addictive and nasty (like cigarettes). The main difference is if you swallow all that crap.

Some people spit it out (or into cups and bottles and shit) but for other people, putting a dip in their mouth is a one way trip. The former can usually give it up when the wife or girlfriend has finally had enough. The latter are fucking addicted for life and fall of the wagon everytime their shit bag brother comes to visit with his can of Skoal straight. Even with one nut -- pretty much the biggest wake up call a man can get -- I still dip from time to time even though I know I shouldn't.

RedMan and other leaf brands are meant to be 'chawed' and spit out all 'US of A baseball player/hillbilly style'. Copenhagen and Skoal have their roots in Scandanvian snus (thus their names) and are meant to be .... er ... eaten I guess. http://www.swedish-snus.com/

Luckily, swallowing this shit makes you puke your guts out within a few minutes and turns most sane people away forever. But some dipshits like me tried it again and again until we liked it and then needed it.

Man, I need a dip.

Damn it Doc, I swear leave it to the dentist to ruin all of your bad habits! That would suck though...
