Help with chewing tobacco?

I'm a freshman at a high school in Mobile, Alabama, and I've gotten addicted to chew. Smoking never really did anything for me, but I love chew. It tastes very similar to raisins and has a nice... well anyway, I tend to go overboard and chew usually 8-10,pinches at school,with 2-4 being chewed at lunch. As you can imagine, this always leaves me feeling very shitty. I don't really want to quit, but maybe some tricks to help me limit my chew intake would be great. And no, I can't just use my willpower, it's shaky at best...

    Well, while no tobacco product is safe, cutting back is better than anything I would have to say. If you are wanting to limit the amount you chew throughout the day, then instead of having the entire can with you, only take a certain amount with you when you leave the house in a ziploc bag. When the bag is empty, you're done for the day. Simple as that. You can use this method to quit also if you wish. Just every week, put one less pinch in the bag before you leave until you have an empty bag.
