In many ways, quitting smokeless
tobacco is a lot like quitting smoking. Both involve tobacco products
that contain nicotine and both involve the physical and psychological
components of addiction. Many of the methods of handling the psychological
hurdles of quitting are the same. Two elements are unique for smokeless
users. First there is often a stronger need for oral substitutes to
take the place of the chew or snuff. Second, because smokeless tobacco
often causes sores in the mouth and gum problems, the disappearance
of these after quitting provides a readily visible benefit.
