Quitting Dip

Recommended Posts

Does it piss anyone else off that in nearly every single article they refer to dipping as a "habit?"

Yea, it’s just a bad habit, nothing more.  Growing up, a bad habit was a mean nun.

Australian woman suffers carbon monoxide poisoning after smoking tobacco in a Middle Eastern water pipe for an hour every day as medics warn she was exposed to the same toxins contained within 100 cigarettes

 

Users believe that smoking tobacco smoke which has passed through water is cleaner than more traditional methods. However, research has shown that a one-hour session on a hookah pipe could produce the same amount of smoke and harmful toxins as 100 cigarettes. 

 

 

'But a session of 30-60 minutes can provide the same amount of smoke as 50-100 cigarettes.

'Even if you forget about the smoke itself, carbon monoxide is produced in the water pipe.' 

After five hours of being in hospital the woman started exhibiting signs of a heart attack, although there was no chest pain or tightness.

Nine hours later her heart had steadied, but doctors say the circumstances could have been much more grim due to how difficult is can be to detect carbon monoxide.

Dr Wang continued: 'Carbon monoxide is a bit of a silent danger, it’s odorless, colours and not easily detected. Some of the complications of low oxygen exposure don’t really manifest immediately.

HARRISBURG — Cigarette smokers could soon be asked to cough up $1 per pack to help close the state’s $2 billion budget shortfall, but health advocates say even an increase that dramatic is not enough.

Gov. Tom Wolf proposes a 62.5 percent hike in the cigarette tax — already set at $1.60 per pack — as part of a broader budget plan. The governor wants to begin taxing e-cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco too.

To help ensure a healthy, productive, respectful environment in which to work, learn and live, Syracuse University will be a smoke-free and tobacco-free campus, effective July 1.

damn!

 

we chose the best time to quit dipping, because many places are going after smokeless tobacco also, thanks to the vaper craze on campuses and places of business.  For the longest time, dippers have been given the "don't ask don't tell" treatment.  If you ain't spitting all over the place and grossing people out, you would not be bothered.  This is no longer the case in many places.  Hell, I bet the airlines will start to crack down on it too.

For now, a guy just has to drive to the next town over, but it could snowball to where all the towns are united.  That would place a 'minor' to find someone to buy for him/purchace nicotine over the internet, etc.  Like you said, step in the right direction.
