so the question I want to ask you is if you dip, what brand, and what flavor. I like Skoal wintergreen but Grizzly Wintergreen in my favorite.

Did you know that they put glass in dip to cut your gums? They do that because it makes the nicotine get in your system faster. A little fun fact to think about next time you're dipping.
Personally, I never got why people do it. What's the point of doing something that will do nothing but shorten your life?

I don't dip myself, but I know a ton of people who do.
I'm not a user of any tobacco product, let alone any drug, because I'm hesitant to use any chemical that can cause serious damage to the body over time.
EDIT: Since people are asking. Dip is a form of tobacco, where it's most similar to chewing tobacco. Instead of smoking or chewing, you put it on the inside of your lip and let the juices flow around it. After a short time, the nicotine is absorbed through the gums. Most people spit a lot when using it. See a guy who keeps spitting into a nearly empty cup? He's dipping.
Baseball players are the most notorious users of dip, and it can lead to several very serious mouth and throat cancers. Many people who suffer late stage effects from dip have their lower jaws amputated to prevent the spread of the cancer. Very disturbing in my opinion.

It looks like snuff. I personally think you'd have to be stupid to do it.

Wow, I didn't realize people actually called it "dipping"... I thought that was just anti-tobacco jargon. We call it "chewing" around here. Whatever you call it, I find it disgusting, myself. I feel bad for all the wives who accidentally took a swig from their husband's "spit can".
That's an urban legend (a wildly popular one). Smokeless tobacco doesn't use fiberglass. It really doesn't need to -- the nicotine gets absorbed just fine w/o it.Snarky Username said:
*sigh* If I didn't screw up my knee and kept wrestling I probably would be dipping right now, but I did screw up my knee, I'm not on the wrestling anymore, so I didn't follow the "every wrestler must chew fiberglass" tradition. Unfortunately the majority of my friends still come from the wrestling team so I have to deal with them discussing how "Skoal is for pussies," spitting into bottles(and spilling them occasionally...), and doing that annoying thing where they shake their hand as if they were packing a lip.
Personally, even if I were still wrestling I'd probably be one of the two(three with me I guess) wrestlers who didn't dip because of how disgusting and fucking retarded it is. Though, of course I'd substitute it with copious amounts of Jager, but what're gonna do? We all got our vices.
Also, good luck with that tounge cancer.
