Do you keep a dip in?
Anyone know of a study that shows how long to keep one on until most nicotine is gone? Txl |

I used to use Swedish SNUS. When conscious, I normally get 45 minutes before it's too bland. If I fall asleep with one in...the flavor seems to last a long time.
I've never really cared about the Nicotine. That was just an added benefit...for me...SNUS is about the flavor. YUMMY!!! I've quit using it though. |
| 45 min to an hour. Cope mint long cut. One little trick is to rotate the dip after about 30 min, so that the side that was sitting against your cheek now sits against your gums. Freshens it up. If you're buying tobacco with your hard earned money anyways, might as well get the most bang for your buck. |

Back before I quit I would keep it in for 45-60 minutes max. After about 45 it would loose its flavor. Mostly Skoal Mint, or Grizzly Wintergreen.
My buddy still dips and he leaves his in for hours and hours. Last year we went on a sledding trip and on the drive up I had no idea he even had a dip in. We get out of the truck after 4 hours and tosses his lip  I don't think I could of sat there gutting it for 4 hours, thats way too long. Says he does the same thing at work too. Works all morning and takes it out for lunch, then throws a new one in till he leaves.

none of my business, apologize for the intrusion, but as a fellow gun owner and since you're on arfcom I'll assume we have some stuff in common and therefore i care if you live or not: don't get cancer man. Just don't  Cancer risk is too remote. On the other hand, you are pretty well guaranteed for your teeth to start falling out of your mouth when you're about 55. I quit a while back. I might dip about 10 days a year now. It's hard cause dip is awesome. |

Quoted:
Cancer risk is too remote. Approximately 1.7 million new cancers are diagnosed annually, of which about 7% are head and neck cancers, so roughly 119K among the entire population of the USA. So in any recent year, you have about a 4 in 1000 chance of developing an oral cancer. You can probably double that figure by eliminating the pediatric population, call it 8 in 1000. BUT, the overwhelming majority of head and neck cancers (brain not included) have a pre-disposing factor of tobacco use. So when you run the numbers against the approximately 50 million adults who use some form of tobacco, the odds jump to 24 in 1000. 2.4% overall rate of some type of Head and Neck cancer among the tobacco using adults in the USA, in any given year. OK, not a huge number, I get it. But, if someone told me that I had a 2.4% chance of hitting the lottery in any given year, I'd probably play it. |

I used to keep one in for 2-3 hours sometimes. Did that crap for 13 years and now my teeth are falling apart.  Gum recession, staining, cracking, what? Gum recession, staining, chipping from weakened enamel, cavities (never had one till I quit dipping, actually), scar tissue in the dip "pockets." I'm now spending a small fortune on my teeth. I don't have meth teeth, but I sure wish I could un-do all those years of dipping. |

I know more non users that have cancer or have gotten cancer than users. ( not that it's good for you) .... Just saying My dental hygienist wasn't a tobbacco user or drinker and was scared of sugar ... She died of of cancer in her 50s  a real nice lady

Quoted:
I rarely buy dip. Sometimes I get a craving for it and buy some. Usually pouches. The long cut gets all over and is
Generally 40 minutes. I feel like the nicotine peaks around 20 minutes and after that it becomes a chore to keep it in.  My experience is similar to yours. But i only buy long cut

Been chewing tobacco off and on since my teens. If its just "sitting there" about 30-45 min until it looses its juice. If actively chewing, maybe 5-15 min..
Weird thing is that I can put a big chew in, work in the hot sun or some other type of activity and doesn't phase me one bit. On the other hand, I've tried dipping once every few years if I am out of chew and bum a dip from someone. That shit will make me dizzy and light headed in just a few minutes no matter if I am just watching TV or something. Strange. |

When you say tobacco are you specifically referring to dip, or do all those numbers include smoking as well? |
