I used to dip in like 10th grade, beginning of 11th grade. I quit dipping and started smoking. That shit sucks. I always told myself and my friends "oh, I'm not addicted, I can quit" but it's so fucking hard to go for long periods of time without nicotine. Nicotine is like my stress relief. I have a couple of friends that traded smoking for dipping and I'm thinking about doing the same (go back to dipping). But whatever you do, don't use anything that contains nicotine. It will make you its bitch in and waste your money.
