Smoking versus dipping email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking4 months ago

I want to pose a question to all the people who are on mylot,who here smokes?If you do smoke how long have you smoked?And what do you smoke?Who here dips?If you dip then how long have yo dipped?And what do you dip?Which do you think is more deadly?Why do you think it is more deadly? I have tried cigarettes before,but I have never really liked them,instead I dip,I have dipped for like two years now,I used to Timberwolf,Kodiak,Kayak,and Longhorn,and occasionally Grizzly,now I dip Skoal pouches,I prefer citrus pouches, or apple pouches.I know some people say dipping is just as bad as smoking,but I disagree,I believe smoking is worse,because smoking not only can blacken your lungs and give you lung cancer,but second hand smoke can do the same for others,cause they say second hand smoke is deadlyier then smoking it yourself,while dipping can only really cause mouth cancer,which I know cancer is bad no matter where it is,but you can live without your jaw,but you cant live without your lungs,and dipping doesnt pose any threat,to anyone who is around it because since the nicotine and tobacco is taken in through the gums,noone else is at risk of getting it in there system,and another thing I like about dipping is you can dip at more places then you can smoke,because unless a sign says no tobacco instead of no smoking, you can technically dip,because dipping is different then smoking,and besides you can hide the fact that you are dipping.

I've been smoking for 6 years and never tried chewing tobacco,it kinda grosses me out but you're definitely right about second hand smoking.


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

Thats cool that you have been smoking for six years,and I am sorry that chewing tobacco grosses you out,but its really not that bad,besides you dip like I do,you have chew,which is tobacco that you put in your mouth and actually chew,I think more people should actually try dipping before putting it down,because I tried smoking before I judged it,and no its not my favorite,but I dont hold anything against anyone who smokes.

Didn't mean no offense to you,either:)
It's completely personal and everyone has a right to choose


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

It takes alot to offend me,and I agree one hundred percent that everyone has a right to choose what they want to do.

Ugh, everytime I see someone dipping I get the willies. I was once shown a picture of a man that got cancer in his lip, from dipping. It was horrible, like a horror movie. It ate up his lips, and mouth and we at his nose when they took the picture. I think he wanted others to see what it could do. I will never forget that pic, it's stuck in my head for life. But it was a good lesson, not that I would have ever tried it. LOL! I guess you could live without your jaw, but how would you eat, talk, drink, swollow, sing, whistle......oh my. Would they be able to reconstruct it with plastic surgery? I would never venture into public again for fear of scaring the be-jeebers out of people. Yikes! Face cancer is bad stuff. My stepdad got it on his neck and it ended up eating away half of his face and he eventually died from it all. Cancer is cancer anymore. I don't know if one is worse than the other.


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

I am sorry it gives you the willies,and yes it is possible to cancer in your lip if you dip,and it can eat away at your face,but it doesnt always happen,I think in the future they will be able to reconstruct someones jaw,and you could still find ways to eat,drink and swallow,but without lungs you would be screwed.And I am sorry to hear that your stepdad got it on his neck,and I am sorry that it ate away half his face,and I am sorry that it eventually killed him,and in someways cancer is cancer,and all cancer is bad.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Irishfrndly65 (2085)   ranked 441 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

Clarification: it gives me the willies FOR the person's sake after seeing what it can do to someone. Them dipping doesn't bother me, not unless they are the kind to spit at your feet, ya know? LOL! I am just a bit too empathic and I think of what could become of them for it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

I kind of figured you meant for the persons sake,and I am definatlely not the type to spit at a persons feet lol,I always have a bottle with me to spit in.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Irishfrndly65 (2085)   ranked 441 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

LOL, I remember once drinking out of my bf's soda, in high school. I didn't know he was dipping at the same time. EEwww... LOL! Funny now. Thanks for not spitting at my feet, cowboy!


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

Thats why when I am dipping I dont eat or drink anything until I am done with my pouch,because I think that if tried to drink and dip at the same time I might swallow some of the juice.Lol and your welcome,I think I would only spit at someones feet if they pissed me off lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (2039)  4 months ago

You've threatened to spit on my friends, lol... but no he'd never spit at ya intentionally.... lol but if ya piss him off.. well....


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

Yeah I have threatened to spit on your friends lol, but they are a special case lol,but no I wouldnt spit on anyone intentionally unless I am pissed.

I have smoked for about 15 years and I've quit a couple times, but I always tell people... I don't want to quit. Ads you see everywhere make it seem like everybody wants to quit. I don't think that's true. I believe you're right about second hand smoke, it is bad for people, but I also believe smokers are discriminated against. As for dipping, well, I never did like it when my husband did it. I always thought it was gross, but I'm a girl, I think we're supposed to think that!


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

Thats cool that you have smoked for fifteen years,and I know how hard it must be to try and quit,I agree I dont think everyone wants to quit,I am glad that you agree about second hand smoke,and yeah in someways I agree that smokers are discriminated against,lol I dont think all girls think its nasty,my fiance doesnt mind when I do it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (2039)  4 months ago

I used to think that it was gross, but well I guess not really. I know that must sound a bit confusing, but it was only gross the one time I cleaned out my cousins bottle. I didn't realize he had his chew in the bottom.

My Fiance (ahem yes him... the one making the discussion) dips and it doesn't bother me. It's in a pouch, and I do clean his bottle out sometimes. All we do is dump it in the toilet, flush it and put soap in it. I've also kissed him while he has it in, and for the sake of this discussion, yes i've frenched him with it too.

It's only gross if the guy (or yes even girl) does it in a way that is well known, and slobber comes down from their mouth. That does disgust me a little, but it happens from time to time...

No way meaning to offend you, I understand that it would gross you out... but it never really did me. I suppose it also has something to do with whether you've seen people do it before or not. I have, but I paid no mind.


myLot reputation of 95/100. hellcowboy (2358)   ranked 12 out of 633 in smoking  4 months ago

I know you used to think it was gross,and its understandable that it grossed you out to clean out your cousins bottle.I am glad that it doesnt gross you out and that you are still willing to kiss me,and willing to help me clean out my bottle.I can understand that the way some people does it can be gross,and I will admit that time to time I do slobber,but for the most part,I am careful about how and where I spit.I used to think it was nasty at one point,but one of my brothers did it,and I decided I should give it a chance instead of just assuming its bad,and once I tried it I liked it.
