Habits can be hard to kick, even when they don’t involve addictive substances. If you’ve ever used smokeless tobacco you know this all too well. While nicotine addiction is a large component of quitting chewing tobacco, most users report missing the act of chewing itself. This is known as an oral fixation and it can create surprisingly powerful resistance to quitting chewing tobacco or smoking for that matter.

Humans are creatures of habit, so much so it may surprise you. One study found 47 percent of human behaviors are habitual. Think about that for a minute. Almost half of what you do in a day can be considered a habit. Now take one of those activities, chewing tobacco, and add the fact that it is a stress reliever containing one of the most addictive substances on the market – nicotine. When you look at it that way, it becomes clear why kicking a smokeless tobacco habit is no small feat.

ENTER JAVA CHEWS

If you’re used to chewing dip, giving it up cold turkey may not be the most effective way to quit. There are ways to placate your oral fixation by replacing your daily habit with a safe substance, like tobacco free dip. Chewing tobacco alternatives or non tobacco chew replaces the dangerous habit of dipping. However, coffee pouches, also known as coffee snuff, coffee dip or coffee chew, go a step further as coffee mimics the habits of chew.

This is why we created Java Chews. Quitting chewing tobacco isn’t going to be easy, but we want to make it as easy as possible with a product that tastes great and has the added benefit of an energy boost. Our coffee dip pouches are a delicious, mess-free way to help you quit.

REMEMBER...

Another important thing to remember is you’re not alone. Roughly 8.7 million Americans identify as smokeless tobacco users. Of that number, it’s estimated over half will attempt to quit. Everyone quits for different reasons but some common ones are health concerns, dental hygiene, mouth sores and tooth loss. Even though those are all compelling reasons to quit, and even if you want to quit, it all comes back to habits. And as we already know, habits are hard to kick. So why not replace the habit entirely with dip alternatives? However you choose to make a positive change in your life and replace chewing tobacco we support you. We just hope we can make it as easy as possible by providing information and the best chewing tobacco alternative we can.
