The best advice I can give is: never, ever say to yourself, "well, that was easy enough to quit, I think I'll just have a "celebration" chew." Bam, you'll be hooked, again. I no longer have the urge to buy a can of real chew but still like the flavor and feeling the fake stuff gives me.
I have been using the Smokey Mountain. It seems to really help.
