Question: Shisha vs. Dip


Recommended Posts

Now in an effort to quick smoking (cigarettes, I will always smoke hookah), I have decided to ween myself off the nicotine with dip (Peach Skoal to be exact). I was just wondering what kinds of differences there are between shisha and dip (a.k.a. smokeless tobacco). I realize the dip probably does not have glycerine in it, but other than that I am not sure as to the differences. I am not trying to smoke my dip or anything, but I was just curious.

dip is so much worse, unless u use the roster packs, but normal dip, like skoal..etc.. actually is shredded in a way it cuts your gums slightly and u get a greater amount of nicotine in your system and all the other crap they put in it. A lot of my buds dipped when in Iraq, and got hooked fast. I just stuck to smokeing cigars. But stay away from dip!!You may want to try the mint type of dips, they sell it at k mart and wallmart, it is made from shredded mint leaves, and a lto of people use it to quit tobbacco

lol skoal isnt bad, atleast the taste lol, it prolly is worse bc of it cutting your gums to get the nicotine in your system, try some chew like levi garret, im pretty sure that doesnt cut u up and it taste pretty good

Trading one dangerous, disgusting habit for another. Nice. Dip is utterly fucking repulsive, a few of my friends dip like its nobodys business, and the acute damage it does to their gums and inner lips is disgusting, big sores, little pus-filled bumps, receding gumlines, not at all attractive. Just chew the nicorette gum and smoke hookah, and remind yourself that if you're going to get lung cancer, you might as well get it from smoking something that doesn't taste like ass.

Pauldavis; nicotine gum now is cheaper than cancer later.2-3 times a day is enough to kill you later too.That said, I smoke hookah, so i'm killing myself as well.Production-wise, your tobacco is dipped in a flavoring, same as ours. Your flavor is designed to fade, ours is designed to burn. I wouldn't smoke yours and i wouldn't chew ours.

personally, i wouldnt recommend it, i work security and see alot of truckers go in and out...and you can tell the ones that chew. the receding gumline is just the scariest damn thing ive ever seen...ugh......but ya, if ur gunna do it, go old school like levi garrett which isnt that bad, kinda like a nicotine syrupy pancake.

The Skoal fruit flavors are generally crap. Mint and Straight are the only two that are worthwhile.FWIW, dip usually consists of tobacco, flavoring, water, salt, and possibly a humectant like propylene glycol. It does not contain fiberglass or other crap you might have heard.US made dip contains much less nitrosamine (a known carcenogen) than it did years ago, but not as low a level as the Swedish variety. Smokeless tobacco naturally has some antioxidant properties (they aid in preventing cancer), so while not risk-free, modern dip is very possibly much safer than cigarettes.

When i think of dipping... i think of rednecks in the deep south. i guess its kinda like those guys in the wild west too that always spit in the spitoon sitting in the corner of a dingy western saloon. Stereotypes asides, dipping is a gross habit and can lead to nasty mouth/gum/throat cancers. Some really nasty stuff...
