There is no "proven recipe" unfortunately. Tobacco chewers suffer from the same thing as smokers, nicotine addiction and social addiction to chewing.
The cravings for nicotine really don't last that long once you quit using tobacco, less than a week in any case, but the social/habitual use of the product is what makes it tough to give it up.
As far as the nicotine cravings go you can use any of the myriad products on the market to curb them, gums, pills, prescriptions, ect. But the social part of it is tougher. Usually you simply need to replace that need to chew with something else. In other words, say you eat a meal and now you are ready for that big fat juicy chew; well, instead of that you opt for a short walk, or eat an apple or something else that is reasonably healthy. You can replace those moments with chewing gum or hard candy, whatever. Usually within a few minutes the craving or the need to have the chew has passed.
It takes will power and the desire to quit. If you are not serious about quitting, you never will. There is no magic pill that will immediately make you say, wow, I don't want it any more.
Best of luck.

Herbal snuff has been proven to work, but only if you use a brand that approximates tobacco. Hooch Snuff is the best one available.
Here is the text from the University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Psychology study.
------------------------------...
The present study investigated the effects of two herbal components of commercially available smokeless tobacco treatment program for reducing subjective withdrawal symptoms during deprivation. One component is a non-nicotinic chew (Herbal Snuff). The second component is a liquid containing the alkaloid Lobeline, which to some extent mimics peripheral nicotinic effects. All participants (N = 22 males) were placed in four conditions: Herbal Snuff + Lobeline, Herbal Snuff + placebo control, Lobeline alone, and placebo control only. The conditions involved 48 h of deprivation, and subjects were exposed to one condition per week for 4 weeks. Withdrawal measures were taken at baseline, 24 h, and 48 h of deprivation. Individuals were randomly assigned, and conditions were counterbalanced. Results showed that Herbal Snuff, as compared with Lobeline, significantly reduced withdrawal symptoms but not craving. These data suggest that behavioral/sensory substitutes' influence on withdrawal might be routed through the product's ability to approximate the preferred moist snuff.
