A member asked:

How can i help my boyfriend quit chewing tobacco?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get him sick on it: If he consumes so much that he gets extremely sick his brain and body will associate the chewing tobacco with the feeling of nausea and wanting to vomit. That feeling is very uncomfortable and can lead to cessation.
