Hello,

I have done half a can of grizzly smokeless tobacco. I noticed that I have none what so ever craving for tobacco. This tobacco is suppose to have the highest concentration of nicotine in the market. I noticed that when I have my dip in for 1 hour I get a little light headed and by that time the dip has "worn out". I do get a buzz but when the buzz is over, usually a few hours, I do not need a dip. I usually go days without giving a dip. I have now went a week without a dip and I do not have the smallest craving for my grizzly smokeless. Isn't it only suppose to take one smoke/dip and then your suppose to be hooked.

Have you ever heard of somebody does not get addicted to tobacco? Is this possible. It seems as though I'm immune to nicotine.

Thank you for your time,

While Grizzly does have a high nicotine content, there is one other "dip" that has a higher concentration that I know of.

Just because you take one dip does not in any way make you addicted. There are other drugs out there that do that. Tobacco whether in smoked or smokeless form are not addictive the first time.

Apparently you have not been doing it for very long because it does in time become addictive. But not after just the first or second use.

One last thing. Why would I be getting light headed or dizzy within of 10-15 minutes of having a dip in? One time I had it in for 45 minutes and I had cold sweats, throwup, dizzy... why?

That is because of the nicotine. Remember nicotine is a drug. It is the side effects of the drug until you develop a tolerance, at which point you become addicted.

Um, look just stop now. If you don't have to use nicotin don't.

I found out something weird. I have been dipping kind of heavily for 1-2weeks. I found that every time I do get a buzz, and very very space out/light headed. After the buzz is gone, and even after 12 hours of a dip, I have no craving for one. My body has not even gotten just a little addicted to it. I also found that today before I went into the shower that ALL of my mouth has gotten a little milky pinkish color to it. It is usually more of a dark pink/mild reddish color. I believe that my body has a natural "tobacco rejection". I know this sounds like complete non-sense, but could this happen. Can ones body actually reject the nicotine and tobacco. And yes for now I will not dip because the color of my mouth concerns me.

Edit. Now on one tooth that where the dip is held, the gums are not reciedeing, but it looks like that they are getting thinnner and thinner. I can touch the tooth that is suppose to be held by gums. I will check in the morning and see what happens.

Weird...

Skoal - does not get me hooked, just gets me light headed and really dizzy
Cope - makes me want to hurl, do not like the taste one bit,
Grizzly - good buzz, slight lightheaded. CHEAP, more addicting than cope and skoal combined

Is there any explanation for this?

How long have you been dipping? How often?

The buzz you are getting is the nicotine getting into your bloodstream. Before long, you won't feel that buzz with the normal amount you dip. You will put more in your lip to get the buzz, or you will have to do it more often to get the buzz.

It is all part of the addiction.

If you are not addicted than why dip? Just leave it alone and count yourself lucky. STOP playing with it.

Throwing up, most likely because you swallowed the dip, and didn't spit well enough

Question: I thought grizzley was the highest of the chewing tabacco's in nicotine content. What is the one that is higher?

You are on your way to mouth cancer. Also the more you put the snuff next to one tooth, the more the gums will thin out and pretty soon you'll have peridontal disease.

Who cares what snuff has a higher nicotine content? It's all not good for you. Stop now before you have throat, tongue and/or mouth cancer. How many of those macho baseball dudes ended up with throat/mouth cancer from their chew? Lots. Do you want to joint their ranks and have your tongue taken out of your mouth due to tongue cancer?
