Has anyone tried to quite smoking by switching to smokeless tobacco? Did it work? Where you able to also quite smokeless?

I am 78. I quit smoking "cold turkey' after about 35 years. I started on smokeless maybe 10 years later and gave it up just this year after 15 years. Difficulty of withdrawal about the same - either requires strength and dedication.

I was addicted to chewing tobacco. I still have relapses and will grab a can of skoal. I'll dip half the can and then ask what I am doing and throw it away. Believe me that it will not help you quit. P.S. I used to love cigars and gave those up fairly easy.

easy it true that if you chew ALOT of tabacco, you can get a "hairy tongue". Its prob not actual hair but sometihng furry. Is that true?
