Who takes a little tobacco dip like 2 times a yr just because it's fun?

I have never been a tobacco user, unfortunately I can give you a quick run down of use!

3yrs old AK, on the Klutina river, my grandfather loved his Copenhagen, I pestered him for days until my dad said, "let him get it over with and give him a little pinch." I know it burned but I think I held it to be tough and threw up in less than 5min.

Cured me until, 5yrs old outside Fort Bragg, NC, when we lived on a grape vineyard where my dad worked wknds for free rent but we lived on a beautiful 10ac lake. The old fellow owner chewed Red Man and I pestered him for a try, finally my dad said, "let him get over it!" The old fellow gave me a leaf and I threw up right in the row before we walked the end of it. My dad laughed and said you don't remember AK, I said that was different, old fellow said, its bad for ya son, dont do it.

Cured me til I was 8yrs. I found a peach flavored plug in my dads tacklebox so of course I had to try it. Well, I threw up again in about 10min. So this time, I broke a pc off and made my friends try it so they could throw up too, and they did! Tom Tom was a cherokee fat boy that just ate Cheetos or something and he quasrupled all my yaks! It was fun of course!

Fast forward, I am sure there are more pukes in there, but fast forward to last wk. I was working and a friend saw me outside and he had a dip in. I said hey, you got plenty? He said sure, but last time I saw you do this we were fishing and you fell out the boat. Yeah, thats true, give me a punch. Well, it took 5min and I was staggered, like I drank a 5th of bourbon. I spit it out and said dang that was fun, didnt throw up. He asked if I needed another, i said Naw, good for another 2-4yrs! Ha, true story!

Snagged some Redman as a kid. We passed it around like the kids from sandlot. I never did puke. Actually ended up getting to the point where I'd just swallow like normal and not spit. This made it easy to dip all through school. Ended up quitting tobacco and alcohol and other illicit substances all together in my late 20s. Now at 40, I'll enjoy a beer or bourbon here or there but haven't gone back to any of the other crap.

Somehow, I think I am super susceptible to Nicotine even today. I have had lots of users around me and I could never handle it more than few minutes in my mouth. I inhaled a cigarette when I was around 13 and fell over like I got knocked out. Never a tobacco user because I absolutely can't. I can drink a little and be more sober than most, give me a dip, I will fall out in 5min.

when the team practiced by the stadium - pre upper decks we used to go to practice. This was the early 70's. One day an OL coach was chewing out aiger while chewing tobacco. He accidently swallowed the tobacco. Kept yelling till the vomiting started. He finished vomiting. Then proceeded to resume the behind cheewing

I use a can of the pouches about every day and a half. The non pouch dip is better as far as getting more from it, but I can't stand it being stuck between my teeth, so I use the pouches...

It’s sooooo bad for you, your teeth will rot and fall out and you’ll get mouth / gum cancer :(

Give Zyn a try. I think it's better for you, and I don't miss tobacco at all. Zyn > all the other imitations IMHO.

I dipped Copenhagen from 1987 until 2016. #### near killed me. $21k worth of dental work later I’m tobacco free almost 9 years by the grace of God. One dip of Copenhagen has more nicotine than a pack of cigs. Stay away!! It’s a hard addiction to overcome.

Started the bad habit playing baseball. Dang did I love it though.
I've had probably 30 since then and don't know why. Figured I would love it still. It taste like sh** and makes me feel bad. Don't know i ever got into it.

Cousin and I swiped some cigarettes from an aunt’s car and lit a couple up behind our grandmas barn- can’t remember just how bad we felt but neither one ever wanted anything to do with tobacco again. Especially after what transpired afterwards/ our parents saw us grabbing them from the car and decided to let us learn one lesson before getting another when we came back to the house!

Started dipping Copenhagen before I had a drivers license. I remember riding my bike to the local store and buying a can for .75 cents. Dipped all through high school, college and through my 20's. Finally quit when I was 30 years old, hardest thing I ever did. Haven't had a dip in over 25 years but whenever someone around me opens a can I love to take it and inhale the aroma. Copenhagen was like crack, no other kind of tobacco would touch it. So glad I quit when I did.

Yeah, It's probably a good thing it makes me sick or I probably would have tried it until I got a taste for it. I think it stinks, tastes bad but is really entertaining for 5min. Makes me laugh at how loopy I still get today in 5min, then spit it out and its gone in less than 5min. Just a reminder I guess.

I was absolutely addicted to Copenhagen for 25 years.
My wife ask me to quit 15 years ago and I did.
Miss it to this day. The smell, the taste, the nicotine.
Loved it but love her more.

Dipped at least a can a day of Kodiak Straight, then Copenhagen Straight for 25years now. Never been to a dentist. No cavities. No cancer. Not saying it won’t happen, but I’m also a reformed alcoholic and I’ll be danged if I’m stopping tobacco! Love it!
