Hoss,

If you still check this site, I'm your poster child. I enjoyed Skoal longcut for about 15 years. On September 11, 2000 ( my personal September 11) I had a biopsy taken which was reported to me as being Squamous Cell Carcinoma on September 18. Numerous people have asked me if I think that my "dipping" was related to my cancer. My standard answer has been that my first clue that tobacco may have played a part in my cancer is the warning printed on some cans of Skoal that "This product may cause mouth cancer". In my case I believe that this product "did" cause mouth cancer. I have been nicotine free since Sept 11, 2000 and don't miss it at all. Hope this helps you and anyone else trying to quit "the habit". I couldn't quit until I had cancer, wish I could turn back time, but short of that, helping others by telling my story will also give me satisfaction.

Good Luck!!
