Good for you!: Good for you for exploring ways to stop chewing tobacco. Nicotine replacement products may help, particularly the gum as it is 'oral.' ask your doctor about welbutrin and Chantix to see if these might be choices for you. Hypnosis can work. How did you start this habit, and what might you substitute (drinking ice water, for example)?How can you reward yourself for not chewing? Bribes can help!

Nicotine gum: May help. Nicotine patches could also help if you find something else non-nicotine to keep in your mouth ( like regular sugarless gum). Use the 1-800 -quit-now support line if you need help. Go to the dentist and get a good oral exam on a regular basis to rule out any signs of oral cancer. You are smart to quit now. Best of luck to you and stay well!
