Generally, people who use three or more tins or pouches a week, people who use smokeless tobacco within 30 minutes after they wake up and people who usually swallow tobacco juice when they chew or dip benefit most from using nicotine replacement. Find an oral substitute for smokeless tobacco that you enjoy. Don't substitute cigarette smoking for smokeless tobacco. Stop using all tobacco products. Find activities to do when you want to chew or dip.
Many people chew or dip when they are bored.
Instead, take a walk or a quick jog, lift weights, take a hot shower to relax or do any activity you enjoy that will keep your mind off smokeless tobacco. This is normal. Learn from your slip. Think about what you can do to avoid that situation next time. Plan how you can handle things without going back to using smokeless tobacco.
