Instead of delivering nicotine to your lungs by smoke, dipping puts it in direct contact with your gums and cheek tissue. Either way your body is still ingesting nicotine. Is it better?

I can see how an interruption to the regular delivery method of smoking is a positive step but all of that will be negated if you trade one delivery method for another. What are you going to do next?
