Learn what it is. The dipping tobacco is not actually tobacco. It's imitation "beef" jerky meat. Yes, it is both vegetarian and free of tobacco.It is packaged in a plastic "tin" or container so that is looks much like the real thing. Although you will get a hefty dose of salt from the jerky, it is an extremely much safer alternative to real tobacco, as tobacco causes cancer and could see you getting your tongue and/or jaw removed! Yikes!

Chew the jerky as if you would chewing tobacco. You open the tin, grab a pinch with your index finger and thumb, and stuff it in between you gum and lower lip. The commercials all say "Put it between your cheek and gum" but it really isn't in your cheek at all. You can spit the saliva that will form in your mouth, or you can actually just eat the jerky if you prefer! Can't say that about regular chew! It also comes in flavors such as teriyaki.

Fight the effects of the salt. The only drawback to using Jerky chew is all that salt in the jerky. For some people this won't even be an issue, but for other folks- especially those who use it repeatedly in the same day, it can be a problem. The saltiness of the dip can rub your gums raw after a while, so it is best to alternate sides if you plan on using a lot of it.

Flush your mouth out with water after you are done. It helps removes some of the salt, and you should make sure to follow the water wash with brushing your teeth when possible.
