chew @ table

[wray]

Dipping is much more addictive than smoking IMHO. Before I FINALLY quit dipping I was up to 2 cans per day. I would get up, brush my teeth, drink something to get the toothe paste out of my mouth, put a dip in then get in the shower. I would highly recommend staying far away from it.

I know it's a little late but that is some funny chit!

a couple points...

who the hell puts chew between their toes? i have never, ever heard of this method before. i dont' want to waste any chew putting it in with my toejam to try it out.

are you sure you're not allowed to spit into a cup at the casinos? you're allowed to drink at the tables, why can't you have a spitter there?

thirdly, ya it would gross out your opponents. isn't that a good thing? i think it'd start putting in upper deckers (top lip) cause that just looks really ridiculous. i can just picture myself now at the WSOP on ESPN with a huge top deck gagger in looking like a complete fool.

i put this is the televised poker forum because i was wondering if anyone had seen anyone on tv chewing. but now it has evolved into chewing at the poker table in general.

I think that anyone who chews at the table is a sick sick bastard and it shouldn't be allowed. No bias here though

You're a sissy! But that guy should have had some etiquette!

I have a great story about my chew spit BTW. One of my ex-girlfriends and I were driving down to see some piece of crap art exhibit thing she wanted to see. At the time I was drinking Pepsi like a madman. I had a full bottle of Pepsi in one console cupholder and my spitter in the other. Well, we got out of the exhibit and head back to the car. She says she is thirsty and begins drinking...from the wrong faqin bottle! It didn't even dawn on me to warn her until she started projectile vomiting everywhere followed by an hour of dry heaving. What makes the story even better is that most of the time my spitter is also a garbage can for misc. things like gum, toenails, nose hair, pubic hair, my chew plug, etc. So she got alot of juice with some chew, some toe nail, some paper possibly. I felt bad at the time but know I say "serves that crazy bitch right!"

Hmm, wonder why she's an ex-girlfriend.

Much better to brush your teeth AFTER the morning dip IMO.

Whats your take on mouth cancer? Aren't you scared of losing face? If you aren't you should be. The risk is very real.

Do you have little white or thicker spots where you put your dip? (Thats precancerous. Tell your dentist to cut it out) What about receding gum lines? (Got dentures) How clean do your teeth look? Do you have cavities or dental erosion from all the sugar in your skoal? Any persistant soreness or dry spots? (Also precancerious)

Do you see you dentist every three months? Early detection is your only hope of saving face. (Note I am being serious, it is recomended that active dippers see a dentist every 3 months. Every day counts with agressive oral cancer)

What does your dentist think of your habit? Ask him about affordable financing for jaw reconstruction and facial prosthesis. Save up now, good oral surgury is expensive, reconstruction is even more.

Talk to oncologist about newer types of chemotherapy with less side effects. Find out how much a good custom wig costs becuase you will look dreadful without lips, jaw and hair.

Christ! I was going to put in a dip until I saw all of this.

I've always wondered about this also, not that i'll ever be at a big time final table, but I've said to my buddies I'd be screwed if they didn't allow chewing, between the nic' fits and nervousness, i'd shake myself to death. But my only hope was my ingenious (not that I invented it) form of hidden spitter, I learned of it in college. Just take a basic cup with a lid and a straw from a fountain soda, and spit into the straw. It takes a little practice so you don't spit too much and it goes all over, but trust me fellow dippers, you can chew anywhere with this spitter. Looks like your taking a sip out of your Dr. Pepper.

I'm glad you like those pictures.Google oral cancer for more pictures

I find that in working with dippers showing them graphic pictures of oral cancer, and people without faces is often the first step to quiting.

Chew on this: The 5-year survival rate for early stage oral tumors is 80%, but falls to 15% for advanced ones.

If you have Leukoplakia, thickened and whitish spots or areas in your mouth. (and 80% of dippers do at their prefered tobacco site) you need to have it examined.

Basicly you should quit dipping, and if you don't see a dentist regularly, you should have a dental workup done pronto. Tell your dentist that you dip, and ask him to do a through check for oral cancer. Precancerous lesions show up mighty quick after you start dipping. But they can be treated early. Thankfully in as little as six weeks after you quit, precancerous tissue will start reverting to its natural state.

It is majorly +EV to quit dipping. You will save money, and your life.

BTW: Most dental schools have clinics offering reduced price services on a sliding scale. If you are in school, your health center can refer you to a dentist. If you contact your local state dental society, theymight have a program of free oral cancer screenings or can refer you to low cost services.

chew on this: they still can't prove a direct link between smoking and cancer, only a higher probability.
