Fake Dip and Nicotine-Free Alternatives - Kill The Can Podcast (Episode 20)

In Episode 20 of the Kill The Can Podcast, Chewie digs into the topic of “fake dip” – smokeless alternative products that contain ZERO nicotine and ZERO tobacco.
He answers two big questions:1) Are these products safe?  2) Can you still post roll on KillTheCan.org if you’re using them?
Along the way, he talks about the physical side of the addiction (oral fixation, ritual, triggers), how fake dip helped him early in his quit, and how today’s alternative market is much bigger than it used to be.
If you’ve ever wondered whether fake dip is a good tool in your quit or which brands to try, this episode is for you.
