Ask your doctor about a nicotine chewing gum tobacco cessation program. Find alternatives to spit tobacco. A few good examples are sugarless gum, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, apple slices, raisins, or dried fruit. Find activities to keep your mind off of spit tobacco. You could ride a bike, talk or write a letter to a friend, work on a hobby, or listen to music.
Exercise can help relieve tension caused by quitting.
Remember that everyone is different, so develop a personalized plan that works best for you. Set realistic goals and achieve them. You could save the money that would have been spent on spit tobacco products and buy something nice for yourself.
