I chewed tobacco for as long as I drank Trish, those two addictions went so well together. I gave up the nicotine a few months before I sobered up, it's the hardest thing I've ever done and I still have very strong cravings to buy a can and cram my gums full of that crap.
This is what helped me decide to never use tobacco again
WhyQuit - the Internet's leading cold turkey quit smoking resource I freaked out after reading some of the stories and looking at the pics. I also used a daily support thread here on SR

Nowadays I eat sunflower seeds like a fiend. I guess that's another addiction in itself, but so far it hasn't killed me
