i'd rather see everyone dipping instead of bein put in an uncomfortable environment with smoke. no offense to you smokers...but a lot of em dont care about those around em. like smoking in public, going through a drive thru at a restaurant, people smoking around you knowing that you dont, etc. some people have quit, then they say they realize how bad it smells from others and wonder how they smoked in the first place. my friends fiance is pregnant and smokes. we ate out at a restaurant, only one of the 4 of us out that smoked and us 3 NON SMOKERS sat in a smoking section so SHE could smoke. if they werent already sitting then we wouldnt have been in that section...but still you know. dipping...while still bad for you...isnt MORE harmful to those around you like second hand smoke. so i'm all thumbs up about you quitting. dip/gum or none.
