Chance, I chewed Cope for about 25 years or so. Man I couldnt be without a mouthful. That stuff is deadly.

I quit tobacco when I was about 35 years old. I was tobacco free for 7 years. I was in Mexico scuba diving one year. When I came up out of the water I smelled the boat captain's Cuban cigar. I thought I could enjoy a few puffs of that beutiful thick smoke and not relapse. Within a year I was smoking 8 Macanudo Ascots a day. I couldnt hunt elk smelling like cigars so I started chewing Cope again. By the time it was all over I had it in my mouth all the time and I had lost 25 lbs.

I finally am tobacco free again for the last six months. It really made the PTSD worse beacause t is such a powerful poison and stimulant. I would find myself in a little situation, suck up a big swallow of Kentucky's finest tobacco juice, and three minutes later the fight was on! It is like being on a constant nicotine drip. Need reinforcement? Just swallow!

Sleep and appetite are my two main problems. Cannabis helps both and tobacco makes them worse. What a drug though! I wish I had a big wad of Copenhagen right now. I reach for my can 20 times a day still!
