The first thing my Dad asked me after he woke up from his heart bypass surgery was: "You got any snoose?" He had chewed for about 50 years and really had the habit. He smoked for many of those years, but the cardiologist made him quit smoking, but allowed him to chew for awhile longer. It was really hard for him to quit chewing, but he finally did. My Dad lived to see his 80th birthday, to my knowledge, the oldest male EVER in the family to that point. Without the bypass surgery and quitting smoking, I doubt that he would have lived to reach his 65th birthday. Tobacco is hard on you.....tomorrow I am burying a close friend who died of lung cancer last Friday. In one of his last lucid conversations with me, Kim told me that he wished he had never smoked. The last 10 years, he smoked at least 3 packs a day. What a waste......I will miss him, he was only 54 and a neat, intelligent, interesting guy. Good luck quitting chewing. It isn't easy, but people tell me that it gets better the longer you are away from it. Hang in there and hope that you quit soon enough to save your health. Do it for yourself and your family. It is worth it!
