The unfortunate part of a “contest” is that there needs to be one “winner“. With the kind of contest that we recently concluded (without sounding too silly), that EVERYONE was a winner. After all… these are QUIT stories! We have a tendency to do things a bit differently at KillTheCan.org and [...]
We’ve been running a contest recently here on the blog and on KillTheCan.org where we asked our members to to send in their quit story. Here’s a quick recap of the contest:
Your Story
This contest will be for the “best” quit story. It can be funny, educational, heart-wrenching, etc. [...]
I get asked on the forums quite often about heartburn when quitting dip. Is it normal? Does it get better after you quit? Does it get worse when you quit? What’t the deal?
NOTE: This article talks about some pretty serious stuff (chest pains). I can speak only from my experience and the [...]
As you know, KillTheCan.org strives to be the most complete resource for people out there looking to quit chewing tobacco. One of our most visited resources is our Smokeless Alternatives page and specifically our reviews of these products. One brand of product that MANY of our members enjoy is

What’s YOUR quit story? Have you told it before in your Hall Of Fame speech? Have you talked about your trials and tribulations on Quit4Today.com (a blog for quitters by quitters if you’re not familiar). Whether you’re an accomplished author, a small time blogger or just a quitter with a story… [...]
I was asked the other day how I keep my quit “fresh” in my mind. There are quite a few people that utilize the forums religiously for the first 100 days of their quit and then fade away. Unfortunately, more often than not, they show up a few months (or years) later posting [...]
I found out late last week that I’d been asked in for an on-site interview with a company that I’d be very excited to work for. SCORE! The interview / role is in a location about 4 hour from home so you know what that mean… ROAD TRIP! After I came down from my initial [...]
