NO NICOTINE (Cope)since 2/19/09

I think the best tasting it gets is when its been in freezer and you take it out and it thaws for a few min. but still real cold,just seems tastier and more juicey.

Greenmule, your user name is making more sense to me every time you post.

Well,I"m just trying to give him more perserverance[learned that word on a clint eastwood movie,they didn't show how to spell it though].

He has to endeaver to persavere.

He'll have bumps along this road of nicatine independance,he needs to be prepared for what lays ahead.

Can you believe that...2500.00 is in my mind allot of money.

Yes, I can believe it, because that really is a lot of money to me.

$2500 x 30 years = $75000.

Yeah,but how much does peppermint candy cost? than you need to figure out the dentist bill,and your gas to go get the candy,

Hunterridgefarm, congrads on quitting or at least attempting to. I too chewed Cope for 10 plus years and quit cold turkey many years ago. I quit for over a year and one day though to myself, if I could only chew a can or two a week I'd be fine. Well for the last 7 years I've been chewing 3-4 cans a week. My suggestion, if you can quit, NEVER try another dip again. I've not had the erge to quit again but I know that if I do, it will have to be for good, not even a single dip or I'll end back up where I'm at.
Best of luck

Now, I've never dipped, chewed, or rubbed, but many people whom I have known who did said that they had teeth and gum problems. I suspect that dental issues are a "push" by comparison and maybe even a little advantage to peppermints.

Also, I pick up a bag of peppermints in Walmart when I'm there. Sam's quit carrying the Brachs Starlights and now carries an off-brand. I suspect I spend at least $100 per year on peppermints. That's more along the lines of what retired people like me and Bird can handle. The nice thing is I can share peppermints with all my grandchildren and friends. I would not do that with tobacco.

Yep, Jim, that's about in my price range. The only problem is that I've never cared for any kind of mints. My wife keeps peppermints on hand, and I usually try one about once a year to see if it still tastes as bad as I remembered.

Sam's quit carrying the Brachs Starlights

Please say it ain't so. I bought my last 5 lb bag back in November '08. I always bring them to the office for everyone to share. We are about out and I am planning to go to Sam's this weekend with my wife IF it rains. I'll let you know if Sam's' in NC still carries them.

Bird,
The only people I know that don't like peppermint claim it brings back bad memories of Peppermint Schnapps...????????
