I am going yo be coming down to gulf shores for a week in the middle of April. I was wondering if any of you guys that live down there know how much a can of Skoal cost.

I used Skoal for 27 years. It was costing about $2800 per year for my 2 can a day habit$3.80 per can with tax. I bought a pack of nicotine gum for $45 and used it for a week before quitting cold turkey. Now I use that money to rent a one bedroom condo across the street from the beach for 3 separate weeks each year to come fish the pier. The per can price is anywhere from $3-$4 depending on where you buy it.

Thanks, its about the same price as a can up here. I went from smoking a pack a day and dipping ocasionaly to only dipping. I'm down to about a can a week. I really need to just quit but ain't ready to let go just yet.

Nothing like a three finger fatty right after supper! I think I ate enough sunflower seeds to sink a battleship but it got me through. Good luck if you try to quit and leave me a few fish if you come down.

I don't know about dippin', but quitting my 30 year smoking habit was the hardest thing I've ever done----correction, am still doing, since after more than twenty years, that bad monkey wakes up and screams every now and then.

I quit before for over a year then started back up for stupid reasons. I have tried quitting a couple times since then, but it seems harder now then it was then. I have a lot of respect for anyone who has quit or is trying to quit.

I have been off dip for 1.5 yrs. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. Quiting smoking was a cake walk compared to snuff. I still want a dip dont think that will ever change! The only thing that helped me was hooch herbal snuff and the patch
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
