No form of use is really safe it is a tough call you see allot of athletes that dip. But in a twisted way atleast dipping doesnt rob your body of the oxygen the way smoking does. On the other hand it will still raise your blood pressure and rot your teeth. So I would say buy the gum or patch or cold turkey and get off the stuff. Remember metallica blackened(lars is going to sue me now lol) the line deadly nicotine kills what might have been. :dumbbell: -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
