I gave up cigarettes cold turkey in 1994 after smoking ‘em for 40 or so years. I think a 5-way bypass finally scared my @ss enough to help me quit ‘em.
Then, I went 14 years smoking nothing. Took up cigars in 2008. They’re the least injurious form of tobacco I can think of..... 🤐
I'll use chew & plug when working outside when I need two hands. Dip alone very very rarely but like to mix a little Copenhagen long cut straight or original with my chew, gives it some extra kick haha. Favorite loose leaf is Redman Golden Blend. Plug is Cannonball and Days O Work, Levi ain't bad either.

Cigs back in the early 80s (Quit when they went over a dollar a pack)
Chewed Redman long leaf in the Army, sometimes Canon plug.
Now, cigars and pipe
Got a CDL and get tested....So no go on the "other" leaf.
Chewed Skoal Wintergreen Fine Cut for about 30 years, quit for good when I started smoking cigars about 4 years ago.
Smoked Cigarettes for a couple years in the mid 80s
Like to smoke a pipe on occasion.

Gave up cigarettes when they went over 35 cents a pack when I was in high school. Dabbled with cigars & pipes in the 80's for a few years. Picked cigars back up about a year ago and a pipe last month. The Friends Against Aviation (FAA) mandate testing so I'm not a Dr Sketch patient.....yet.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...
Skoal Fine Cut until 3 years ago...Cigars occasionally before that, now better cigars and more frequent...still miss dipping some times but glad I quit...

Dips really really bad, I'll use a whole can or less for an entire year so not to end up like my friend who dips 2 cans of Grizzly Wintergreen a day...he regrets ever starting and spent over 40K on the stuff since he started, he's not even 30 yet.

Wow! I probably spent that much too, but I dipped at varying rates for longer than he's been alive...While I may miss it occasionally, I have no intention of starting again...When I do miss it, I'll usually pick up a bag of beef jerky and chew on a few pieces of beef...
I guess I've tried everything. Never understood snuff, bleah. I chewed for a couple years, mostly Levi Garrett and Red Man. Started when I was a welder, and some when I was a Tank Crew Member. Got hooked on cigarettes when they made me be an Army Recruiter and finally quit those for good about 10 years ago. Love to smoke a pipe, especially in cold weather, but may go months without. And average 2 cigars a day.

Mint Grizzly at about a can a week. Use to be a can a day. Sometimes I change it up with copenhagen long cut. I only do it at work though. I dont really have the urge at home.

Cigars, whenever the weather isn't frigid. Usually one because just sitting around smoking outside isn't very productive. I smoke a pipe almost daily (health permitting) when I am not stricken by some flu virus. As it turns out, I may be immune now, so that's a bonus. And of course, thanks to my multiple trips to the Middle East at war, the military habit of using Copenhagen Snuff on a daily basis. I actually bought a duffel bag full of Cope rolls which lasted me more than 9 months because our rare trips to the FOB never yielded much due to so many soldiers buying it all up.

Quit cigarettes when I bought my Silverado in 04. No smoking in the truck, the house. Wifes car. So it was easy. Cigars and pipe now and then.
This is South, Fl, it's never too cold to sit outside for a cigar, but often too HOT to sit outside without roasting

That must have been like putting dust in your mouth after 3 months. Cant imagine how dry the cans got

@Usaf06 Surprisingly, most of them lasted fine. I did seal them in plastic bags, but no humidity control. I was storing the whole duffel bag inside a building with AC, which helped. The dip did get a little dry toward end, but it was still usable. I did crack open a can I left in my jacket pocket for over a year, still unopened, and it was dry as dust.

I chewed a ton for years. I liked Beechnut, Red Man and Levi Garret until I found Lancaster. Probably chewed a few thousand bags of this stuff. When the price doubled overnight, I quit cold turkey about sixteen years ago.

Just cigars now, last cigarette was Feb 11th
I had half a cigarette in college after a rousing game of toppers one Wednesday afternoon while walking down to Taco Bell to get some grub.
I never dipped, even though many did at my college and never vaped.
I smoke mostly cigars with the occasional pipe.
cigars mostly, occasional pinch of nasal snuff, a puff or two of Persian dokha before and after sleep, an occasional pipe (mostly va/per).
