Using smokeless dip tobacco?

[NathanC]

I recently just tried using dip tobacco, and I was surprised the kick that the buzz gave you. I had one can and it lasted over a month, and I threw the can away before it was completely empty because I thought it had dried out. I opened a new can, and the buzz wasn't like it used to be. What is going on with that? Any way to get it back?

It was the Can.

The initial effect of any drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) tends to be a kick and/or a buzz. And as one becomes a habitual user (like over the course of a month), one develops tolerance for the drug of choice.

Don't go chasing the dragon of the "kick." Dip tobacco (or any other form) is carcinogenic: it causes cancer by damage to the intake receptor cell sites. In this case that mean the lip, gum, and jaw; and much sooner than smoking.
