Another Loss

I started dipping four years ago to quit smoking.  I don't hear any shit about second hand spit, so I'm pretty happy.

I will give you a ration of shit.  Seeing anyone spit makes me physically ill to the point of having to fight to keep from throwing up.

True story = I had to give a presentation last year to some of our field guys, as in, guys from OK and west TX who turn wrenches for a living with greasy fingernails.  I walked to the front of the room of about 40 people and faced them to begin speaking, only realized that all but about 8 of them had a spit cup in front of them, including the one female mechanic.

They say you are supposed to make eye contact with your audience as you speak, but that was not going to happen in this world or any other.  I gagged once when I realized what was going on (hell, I gagged just now thinking about it...), and thought "There is no fucking way I can get through this speech without literally puking on that guy's steel toed boots..."  But then I saw a fire sprinkler on the ceiling near where it met the back wall, and gave that fire sprinkler the best training in the world about our warranty obligations to our customers.

So yeah - second hand spit is nasty, unhygenic and makes me want to puke.

I'm seriously thinking about quiting, something that I've been thinking about for a while....starting today. Should be an interesting couple of weeks.

Just have some patience with it.

Smoked for a long while.  Easy to quit.  Just put them down.

Chewed red man after my HS coach gave me a wad in the dugout when I was a freshman.  Never dipped but chewed like a sonofabitch.

Best was to mix bubble gum with it. 

Chewed when I played baseball and softball.  Chewed when I played golf. Chewed when I drove anywhere. Chewed at my desk. Chewed when I worked in the yard. Chewed at night when the kids were in bed.  Went to sleep with a chew in and woke up the next morning to start over.

Could not put it down.  Quit numerous times after the wife freaked out at finding two liter bottles completely filled with spit.  One chew and it would start up again.  Would fight with it for months. 

Finally quit for good about six years ago.  Had a benign tumor cut out of my neck this year.  Will never chew or smoke again.   At least not cigarettes or cigars.

Never started-never will Smoking or chewing.

I have to laugh at people here as laws now have no smoking within 25' of front doors to buildings and some work campuses and banned it from the entire campus. In the dead of summer when it’s 105 and people are outside breathing fire into their lungs or when it’s below 30 and they have to make that trip to the sidewalk to get there fix.

And I agree with wench spit cups-cans or whatever is just as nasty when left lying around or a big chunk of chew with spit in the garage can as second hand smoke.

A girl I was dating had a mother who smoked.  The family had given her shit about it for years and she'd only go outside to fire one up.  One day, it was cold as a witch's titty and I was over at her house.  They had a wood burning stove as a heater/fireplace and since it was too cold to go stand outside, she was all hunched over with her face literally in the side of the thing, puffing and blowing the smoke in there.  She looks up and catches me staring at her in amazement.  I said, "Are you really enjoying that?"

She quit right after that.

On a flight back from Dublin Ireland they caught a guy smoking in the bathroom, what I found out is they smoke into the commode and hold the little flab open to blow the smoke down into the blue water. Well some must not have made it cause it set off the smoke detector in the bathroom and when he came out the flight attendant was waiting on him and when we landed in New York so were the local airport cops.

The upside-He was first off the plane.

I'm actually really surprised on how many of you cats dip or have dipped tobacco. You can add me to that list of who still has this disgusting habit. My little girls actually calls it doo doo when they see it. At one time I was a smoker; 18-19 yrs old. Due to all the running and constant night training when I was in
the service, that changed to dipping. For those that are curious, you're not allowed to smoke at night
if you are in training exercises, or play war as some may call it.

This is the year I quit because I really am tired of it and of course as I get older I am more concerned
about the health issue it can cause.

He even made sure the name of his partner had Care in it.

It always amazed me to see guys come off a long run 10 or 12 miles and the first thing they do after we get released out of formation was go fire up. You could also tell who the smokers were in units because of night movements they were heavy dippers. The unit I was in when I was in the 101st try to ban dipping as you could really smell the stuff when you were out in the boonies and if you need medical attention (mouth to mouth) you shit was up a creek.

I was also 101st. No dipping was never enforced unless you were in Air Assault or Airborne training.

I was only there about 14 months 2nd/187th, it was one of those things that somebody came up with to justify his job as S-2 or HQ or some desk LT. I don't think it was ever post wide.
