I chew cope, but in moderation. when you start gettin cravings for it, stop for a week. stay in control and youll enjoy it more. I used to chew levi and i can say it dont got half the effect. I would say its safer too, but I imagine the nicotine content must be really low. I know a lot of guys who've chewed for some time and it really is about the individual. some guys lose teeth after 6 months. Others go decades with hardly a mark.

I've heard of many cases of lip and mouth cancer from useing the fortified stuff such as cope and all the other little round cans. I have chewd Levi Garret for many years. I don't believe the pure leaf type has much danger. Levi, Red Man. Beach Nut and other pure leaf types are cured natural without the chemicals put in them they use on the little round can brands.

Smokeless is good. But I'm not saying it's good for you.

I've dipped for over a quater-century... no health problems or concerns.

But I get the drill (meaning, the lecture) each time I visit the dentist. I realize that it's the dentist's or hygenist's job to advise against using the product, but I wish they wouldn't talk-down to those who do.

I don't spit on the sidewalk (or anywhere else), nor do I carry a spit cup everywhere I go (I can understand why some folks freak-out, though, when some guys do). If you dip, mind your manners and be a good citizen.
