My husband has recently started dipping again. (He used to chew as a teenager before we met) My reaction to this is disgust as I see it the same as smoking. I want to talk to him about my concerns but he's the type of guy where you have to convince him it's a problem before he'll change it. And I'm not the type of wife that says, "stop doing that because I say so!"
What are the consequences of chewing tobacco? It has to be just as bad for you as smoking, right?
Thanks in advance for all your help!

If you abstain from sex, it will become a problem. Reward him when he doesn't chew tobacco. To suppliment that, you can have him go to webmd.com and do a search on chewing tobacco. For easy search, try the link below:

You will find articles about how bacteria in chewing tobacco can cause various diseases - also how it hurts sperm production - that should get his attention.

dipping in so many ways is alot worse than smoking !
he stands a higher risk of for several kinds of cancers of the mouth . smokers do as well , but our chances are much less from ciggs. he will also rot his teeth out .
youve already been gave some good advice !
id say google it , find some pictures of the ailments this can cause , and show him what youve found ..
theres not one person i know that wouldnt think twice before putting that stuff in thier mouth after seeing what a full blown case of mouth or throat cancer looks like !!
if that dosent work ,,just refuse to kiss him ! lol
its very grose , im so glad all my guys out grew that when they where young ! i wont date anyone that uses the stuff period ....
its just nasty .. good luck .

Yeah, it'll give you lip and mouth cancer, same as cigarettes.
Try doing a Google photo search using those keywords, to show him what the eventual outcome is going to be.
I suppose you could always try the Lysistrata approach (from the ancient Greek play, where the wives of the leaders of two warring states withhold their "favors" until the men agree to stop fighting)....

#1 DONT say STOP or I will leave you, or ANY thing as dumb as that. (unless he says that will help but usually it just makes someone with a disgusting habbit resent you more)
#2, ask him what you can do for him to help him quit.
#3, TELL HIM FLAT OUT that you will not be giving him any sort of affection while he continues to use that stuff because of the "SMELL, Taste, and other NASTY CRAP" associated with it. (and make sure you follow through by NOT kissing him anytime near or after him "DIPPING")
#4 make your feelings VERY clear to him on the subject; continue to tell him things like :
You are better than that!
You dont need it.
I love you anyway, but I dont like that you are picking up such a bad habbit.
Keep in mind that ANYTING that you do in front of your childeren they see, and you must ALWAYSE set a good example for them.
Your bad habbits are always the ones that you dont want your kids to see or the ones to pick up but they do.

Chewing tobacco can be more hazardous than smoking.
It can more quickly cause mouth and bone cancer not to mention gum disease and tooth loss.
I know first hand of someone having part of their lower jaw removed from cancer due to chewing tobacco.

Dipping causes mouth and lip cancer. I don't know if it's as fatal as lung cancer but it sure will be an ugly sight.
In addition, I believe it can cause gum disease and stains teeth. So, he may end up a toothless person with a huge tumor on his lip rotting part of his face away.

google images on smokeless tobacco and that may change his mind. His entire lip and gums could be disfigured and he may have to have surgery. The nicotine gets into his system very quickly through the gums......it can get really ugly (see pictures)

The road to cancer is more expeditious by chewing than by smoking. If cancer is the goal, chewing is much faster.
