Step 1: Decide to quit
Make the decision to get serious about quitting.
There are many online resources for quitting chewing tobacco. Do some internet research to determine what strategy will work best for you.
Step 2: Enlist support
Get a friend to help you with accountability.
Step 3: Pick a date
Set a quit date to stop chewing tobacco. Whether you quit cold turkey or do it gradually, select a final day to chew.
Step 4: Reward yourself
Do something nice for yourself, like buying yourself a special gift. You can afford it now that you’re not spending all that money on chew.
If you are physically addicted to nicotine, use nicotine gum or other substitutes to help fight off cravings.
Step 5: Chew something else
Get into a different chewing habit. Chew gum or toothpicks.
Step 6: Mix things up
Mix up your routine to reduce the risk of relapse. Try new things, and for the first few weeks, don’t put yourself in situations where you will be tempted to chew.
Step 7: See a doctor
Ask your doctor to prescribe something to help with cravings.
Step 8: Don't quit quitting
Don’t beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. It may take more than one attempt to get off the chew for good.
Did you know? An estimated 7.8 million Americans use smokeless tobacco regularly.

More than four thousand fatal substances in cigarettes exist. Lung damage is absolutely predictable and lung cancer is also possible, in addition to Heart disease and Hypertension.One more reason why many smokers quit is because the cost of cigarettes when each smoke is a waste of money at a time when each dime is precious. The accumulated amount of cigarettes purchased is like your money burnt.

Doctors say that chewing tobacco is even more addictive than smoking. In fact, a person taking 8-10 ";chews"; a day receives as much nicotine in one day as a person that smokes 30-40 cigarettes a day.
A few tips will do to help one quit chewing tobacco:
1. DECIDE. Make up your mind. Doubts will only diminish your chances of success in quitting. This is the first step in breaking any habit, and overcoming any addiction, and until you make up your mind to do it, you have little chance of success.
