HI Can anybody share their experience on the best way to stop chewing tobacco. How did you stop? How long did it take for the nicotine to be out of your system? What test did you buy to make sure you were nicotine free before applying for jobs? Any information that any of you can share would be super helpful!!! Thanks !!!
