Since smoking bans are going on all around the country, many people have turned to chewing tobacco for an easy alternative. But, if you are inexperienced in chewing, you may find that it makes you sick or you are not getting enough nicotine. Here are a few tips you can try if you would like to make the switch from cigarettes to chew. First, get your can of fresh Copenhagen Tobacco. I recommend starting with a light flavor like the wintergreen of natural long cut. You will want to stay away from the heavier chews like the whiskey and hickory. Although they are very delicious, they are not the easiest for beginners to start with. Eventually, you can branch out to the stronger flavors once you know that your stomach can handle it. Once you have your can, grab a fair amount, but not too much, you may get light headed. Take a pinch with your index finger and thumb and press tightly. A good size is about the size of a penny. Place the chew between your lower lip and gums. This is the best way to get the chew to stay in one place without moving around. Some prefer to put the chew between their cheek and back teeth. I wouldn’t recommend this, because it tends to get in your mouth and you end up swallowing it. One of the most important things to remember when chewing is that you do not want to swallow the juices, it will upset your stomach, some even throw up from it. If you find that you are accidentally swallowing it, or having a hard time keeping it all in one place, try the Copenhagen Tobacco pouches. These pouches are small tea-filter like pouches, that hold ground moist tobacco. The pouches are flavorless so you can still enjoy all of the tobacco flavor you want plus, you will still get the nicotine fix you are craving, without any of the hassle.
