I don't smoke cigarettes I dip or use snuff an oral form of administering tobacco. I go to a military school where dipping is kind of a culture and many don't have a convenient time or place to smoke, plus dipping doesn't affect one's respiratory system like smoking.

It all started on a late night out studying. I have already been through three or four cups of coffee and I'm falling asleep after a long day, but it's only 2:00 in the morning so and I've got at least another hour or two of studying to get done, so my buddy ask sme if I want a dip to keep me awake. Being totally human my curiosity got the best of me and I tried to take a pinch of his finely cut dip and pack it between my gums. Awkwardly I managed to get about half of the pinch in there and spit out the rest.

Almost immediately my gums begin to burn and my head starts spinning. It gave me a very light headed feeling and a little bit of an energy boost. At first I couldn't even read but then my buzz mellowed out and I began to study, and the stuff did in fact help me stay awake to complete my studies.

Now I dip about five or six times a day. When I'm falling asleep I just throw a dip in and it gives me a short boost. Although I have also found that after a hard day of getting yelled at and long classes it does seem to mellow me out also. Although I don't get the same buzz that I got the first time I still get a subtle buzz that keeps me dipping. While I don't feel like I need the stuff I'm sure that I would have cravings if I went cold turkey and with prolonged use I would probably become a slave to the stuff.
