Dipping was reasonably common in my high school. I tried it once and felt nauseous afterwards.

I stopped dipping because after like 3 months of semi-regular use I couldn't brush my teeth without bleeding. And seeing the weirdo rednecks who only dipped who had the most hosed up teeth in the world before the age of 30 was a really good point to never dip again.

My grandfather dipped copenhagen nearly all his goddamn life. Always got the fine cut poo poo. Started before he was 10, died at 76 pretty much from stomach cancer, because he'd gut that poo poo all the time. Lived his whole life in cornfield country, Illinois. Never really drank, never touched drugs.

His father drank Seagrams 7 poo poo, smoked 2 packs of chesterfield nonfilters a day, and always had a pouch of red man chew on him. Keeled over from an aneurysm at 69.

Point being, I come from trashy folk with bad habits.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
You can always trust humans to ignore adverse effects of habits if they come with social perks like looking cool, which was a big part in why kids picked up smoking I assume (also, the whole way they were marketed in the earlier decades in the US, I guess).
It has a serious impact on your health, but at least you "look cool".

Vaping may have the lowest impact on your health outside of the nicotine itself, but you look like a douchebag in public, so it'll be attractive to those that absolutely need to get off the cancer stick, and those that, uh...think they don't look like a douchebag in public.

Dipping...I never understood dipping.
It looks absolutely loving disgusting, kills you with roughly the same probability as cancer, but with the added benefit of loving up your teeth and a bonus chance for different kinds of oral cancer.

Is it literally just the "this is a hard job, we're hard men, you're cramming tobacco in your mouth now if you want to belong and look hard"-aspect, or what factors into the decision to choose dip over any other form of nicotine?

When people caught wind of dip coming to the ship store on a replenishment at sea there would be a line through the whole ship. It was a great commodity, and I’m not sure why dippers didn’t just buy tons of logs of tins before deployment. Smart folks didn’t dip and stocked up to barter with

Vaping is more of a way for me to discreetly smoke pot in public. I do not miss all the crap that came with my pack a day habit. Persistent dry cough.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
I bought one of those dumb vape pens sometime in February, because I wanted a casual nicotine hit available for those times when you look tell Google Maps to take you home at the end of a work day, and Munich traffic slams its giant floppy dick on your screen, and you can go "meh, I'll have a smoke on the way home", but without cigarettes. Then I looked up what else kind of hardware was around, and figured out those little fuckers are essentially on-demand-hookahs, and the only thing that ever kept me from getting a water pipe was the fact that they're bulky.

And you have to fire them up.

And then use them for an extended period of time, because otherwise you're wasting the coconut-weave-or-whatever-the-gently caress-brick.

Oh, you also need to buy those bricks.

And flavored tobacco.

Which inevitably dries out once you open it, even if you seal it properly.


So now I have a pen for traffic jams, a pocket-hookah for gaming, and mixing flavored "juices" for them costs next to nothing. Seems casual enough. Added benefit of blasting THC-juices on the two occasions that a friend of mine offered them, even though I only indulged them once, because it was a really odd high. But someone on Discord said it was probably concentrated too high and I'm not used to that kind of a hit, so that was probably my issue.

Only the Swedish version. Didn't know it was popular among US servicemen too, although it seems obvious in hindsight.

Dipping was fairly common where I grew up but that was two states where tobacco use was unusually high compared to the rest of the US.

Tried dip exactly one time in my life and the nicotine buzz and how awake I felt was frankly awesome and I didn’t feel sick, but I also knew it was a habit I did not want to pick up.

A couple of reasons. One being that enlisted are awful with money and wouldn't afford a deployment worth of dip in one shot. Another being that it dries out, even in those lovely plastic cans, fairly quickly, around a month or two. Not nearly as fast as the cardboard copenhagen cans, those dry out quick, couple weeks. Cope makes plastic cans too, but there's a following behind the old cardboard style.

Last time I dipped I was buying those camel snus tins, they weren't bad. I'd probably use them more if I cared about putting my cigarettes out in no-smoking signed areas.

I grew up in rodeo country. One of the biggest things I remember is that you could go sign up for skoal and copenhagen mailing lists and they’d give you a free log of dip. I never liked it, but rednecks love it.

You can smoke until someone tells you to stop.

There's a story about Andrew Dice Clay where him and another comedian are walking around some no smoking venue. Dice lights up and the other guy is all "wtf are you doing" while they walk around. About halfway through his cigarette a security guard or employee tells him to put it out, so he complies. The other guy was like, "told you, you can't smoke in here" and Dice fires back with something like, "you say that but I just smoked half a cigarette in here."

I can't find it on youtube but there's a local lawyer commercial (Frank Azar) that has a guy "facetime" style recording a review, and he's got a fat dip in his bottom lip. It's so loving obvious that I always wait for a dip bottle to pop into frame, but it never happens.
