Hi, Dave. Sorry I missed this thread. Glad to see you (and a group!) taking the plunge into freedom. :)
The chemistry of chew and dip will be different than the smoke because some of the chemicals in smoke are the result of the burning process. But either way, they are both nasty. Ohhh, how I would have bristled at that remark a year and a half ago, LOL.
You choose your quit date. If you want to mark the date of your last tobacco, or if you want to mark the first date of tobacco freedom, it's whatever works best for you. (and you can change it later if you want)
Infinite_D, a great chew/dip quitter, used sunflower seeds, as I did. I think between the two of us we probably help put a ConAgra exectuive's kid through college! ;)
Congratulations on 15 tobacco-free hours, Dave. Stay close and don't feel you're restricted to this forum. There's a ton of info and support all over this site.
Keep up the good quit!
