Nicotine
Quitting smokeless tobacco [Reader Responses]

Dear Alice,

I know someone who started eating sunflower seeds when they were trying to quit dipping. Because you can put a bunch in your mouth at once and eat them that way, it helped him replace the need to chew with something healthy and harmless. He finally got bored of eating all those seeds and was able to quit the "chewing" habit completely.
