Been chewing Juicy Fruit since I was like 5. Just kidding. I dont chew anymore on any kind of regular basis but used to chew Skoal and a can would last me 3 days, did this for approx. 4 years and decided that I like cigarettes better.

Sounds about right for me too, but now I've cut it down to only on long trips. If I'm driving more than 8 hours, especially if I'm running short on sleep, I'll stop & pick up a can of Skoal, usually Long Cut Cherry. Did that when I was moving.....soon as I finished that can, I stopped again.

I did for 9 years, quit 2 months ago. Usually A can would last 1-3 days depending on how stressed I was but typically 2 days. Red Seal was what I was chewing for the past 4 years, same as cope but cheaper and in a bigger can.

Rermember it isnt good for you. So all you people thinking about starting please dont.

I know I aint your mother but quiting was the hardest thing I ever had to do and I dont want anyone else to have to go through it either. Clint.

ive been chewing for just over a year, copenhagen long cut, if im short on money ill get a can of longhorn but thats it. i used to chew a can a day, but ive been cutting a back so i can get it to last atleast 3 days, but the last couple cans i bought lasted 4 days. it saves money and makes me feel a little bit better about myself. the last few days i havent felt quite as dependent on it. i dont wanna quit but i dont see the point of chewing like you're never gonna be able to have a dip again. especially after my gums are sometimes kinda white, and my gums are wearing away. the spot where i always put my dip has wore my gum away so it looks like eventually one of my teeth is gonna fall out.

chewin since the age of 6 huh? Thats really beleiveable...

I've been dippin for 5 or so years now, mostly timberwolf long cut straight or grizzly straight. Skoals great, but 5 bucks is like 2.3 gallons of gas! I also went thru a can a day, then I realized that it was expensive, and I didn't need to have a dip in ALL the time. Now a can lasts me 2-3 days.

I chew every now and then, mostly when hunting/fishing/camping/working outdoors. I chew Red Man Gold Blend, and a pouch usually lasts however long the trip I'm on takes.

If I'm going to chew anything at all,it's going to be a slab of high quality jerked beef. Nice and salty. Lasts a long while. Juices are edible. No worries about gum cancer. No stomach pumping from an accidental swallow. No 2 liter bottles filled to the brim with cud. All in all this has got to be the most disgusting habit there is.

Started chewing when I was 21, so about 6 yrs now. A can lasts me anywhere from 1-3 days, depending on what im doing. I chew Cope LC, tried just about everything but always come back to Cope. I pretty much have a chew in all day except when eatting or sleeping. Shoot I even fall asleep sometimes with a dip in. I gotta have one as soon as I get up in the morning.

Started with Cope when I was 15, 41 now and doing Red Seal Natural Fine. 1 can a day, and it's a btter value than cope and as mentioned, more in the can. I heard from a buddy of mine that wroks for US Tobacco that it's actually what comes off the line when they first start a batch of Cope. I dunno, but it's just as good and cheaper.
