Get support from your family, friends and doctor. Even better, have a friend or family member who uses smokeless tobacco stop chewing or dipping at the same time that you do. Studies have shown that quitting is more successful with the support of family and friends. Your doctor may also be able to recommend a support program that might help you quit. You might think about using nicotine gum or another nicotine replacement product, such as the nicotine patch.
Nicotine addiction can be tough to overcome.
Talk to your doctor about whether nicotine replacement is right for you. 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.
