Welcome! My name is Zach Malott and I am the Director of Stop Smokeless.com. I want you to consider this web site and the Forum as another home. You may be here because you are seeking information about smokeless tobacco. Maybe you are looking for a program that can aid you in eliminating dip or chew from your life. This site has one, main purpose:
- "To create an environment where people can work together to rid themselves of smokeless tobacco addiction!"
To accomplish that goal, this is a group effort. Many of the ideas, concepts, resources, etc. that you see on this site were suggested by the membership. This is a brotherhood and sisterhood of dedicated men and woman with a common goal - lifetime tobacco cessation!
This is a group of individuals who come together for a common goal, and make it better for the next person. This is a group of individuals who have discovered and internalized an ancient truism, "You have to give it away in order to keep it."
Who am I?
OK. So you want to know more about this guy who promises to stick with you until you are free of chew or dip completely...forever? Fair enough.
My name is Zach Malott. I'm 55 years old and feel like I'm 25. No, I can't attribute this completely to the fact that I joined the ranks of non-dippers the world over. I think it is caused by several factors.
The main one is that I wake up with a smile on my face, just thinking of the possibility of getting another brother off the chew or dip! Do I have credentials to handle my claim? Yes.
I'm a college graduate. My primary interest was in chiropractic, but I developed a love for helping addicted people and my studies branched off in that direction.
Being a highly addictive personality myself, I can identify with them. Does the fact that I have an education give me the credentials? Not in my opinion.
To tell you the truth, it kinda irks me when people who have never even tasted smokeless tobacco try to help a person with a 30 or more year habit to get off because they hold a degree. What hypocrisy!
Sure I have a degree. A degree in your chosen field is wonderful, but personal experience makes all the world of difference in the treatment of addictions.
I think almost 38 years of addiction to Copenhagen and the resulting search to find a way to quit it gives me the qualifications that I need to be highly effective in helping others.
Over time, I developed cessation techniques that work for smokeless tobacco like AA works for alcoholics. Perhaps not the same techniques, of course, but I do combine physical, psychological, and behavioral techniques. Any program that doesn't is doomed to fail.
The result of all the years of anguish during my addiction has resulted in this workable, affordable, and effective cessation program. If this program makes a difference, all the years of anguish will have been worth it!

What To Expect From This Program
This web site is designed to be a complete, online "smokeless cessation clinic". A quitters forum where you can communicate with other "quitters" and participate in live "chat" to provide contact with other members of the brotherhood.
The private, cessation forum lies below the public forum. It can only be seen by cessation members who have entered the program and received usernames and passwords.
Here is a list of what the program consists of:
- We offer a complete, 11-chapter eBook that has everything you need to quit smokeless tobacco. This is not a pamphlet...but a complete, cessation textbook! No wasted pages in this one. Each page, each chapter is chocked with what you are looking for. Freedom from smokeless tobacco.
- A private, cessation forum that follows the chapters in the book and allows others the opportunity to work together if they wish.
- One-on-one assistance whenever you need someone to listen or to clarify something.
- A lifetime Aftercare program that provides support for the rest of your life!
- The replacement of smokeless tobacco with Mint Snuff, a non-tobacco product manufactured by the Oregon Mint Snuff Company. We recommend Mint Snuff by the Oregon Mint Snuff Company because it is clinically proven to help reduce the withdrawal pangs associated with tobacco cessation in the early stages.
The results of the clinical report are below:
[ Experts at the Tobacco Research Program at the University of Minnesota Medical School, with support from the National Institutes of Health, reported in Summer 2000 that Oregon Mint Snuff "reduced craving and withdrawal symptoms" in smokeless tobacco users who were enrolled in a treatment program. (Hatsukami DK, Grillo M, Boyle R, Allen S, Jensen J, Bliss R, Brown S. "Treatment of spit tobacco users with transdermal nicotine system and mint snuff." J Consult Clin Psychol 2000 Apr;68(2):241-9) ]
- We are considered a low-intensity self-help intervention program as defined by Herbert H. Severson, PhD at the Oregon Institute in Eugene, Oregon and reported in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research.
This research concluded that programs based on much less contact with the client than our program was very successful over quitting without a cessation program.

Self-help Programs Help Smokeless Tobacco Users Quit
The eBook and the cessation forum are the "one-two" punch to smokeless tobacco addiction. I will be highly visible during your program:
- You will be able to email me personally anytime you desire.
- I will respond back to you asap, usually no more than a couple hours or less.
- This is the whole principle of our program...one-on-one help without physical meetings.
- We have provided a virtual meeting place with a complete program combined in perfect order to accomplish our mutual goal. That goal is to get you off smokeless tobacco...forever.
This site will be in continual change. It is a live entity! When you join with us in the battle, it becomes your site! Designed for people like you and I...it is a site dedicated to saving lives and ending the smokeless tobacco addiction!
I hope your goal is to become free of nicotine and the hazards of smokeless tobacco. My goal is to help you on your way to becoming tobacco free!
Aren't All Programs About The Same?
First of all, I feel that there are more similarities than differencees in any program that follows standard clinical procedures that are the accepted standard practice.
Where we differ is that I feel we go BEYOND what is considered common practice and/or standard procedure. How? We are actually between what is considered a low-intensity self-help program and a clinical setting.
While there are advantages and drawbacks to each one, it's my personal opinion that when we are compared on a cost basis to effectiveness ratio we have no competitors. To give an example:
- Although smokeless tobacco is tobacco, you can't quit like a smoker does.
- Why? Simply cause smokers have a complete set of behaviors completely unlike the dipper or chewer.
- We do is what everyone is trying to do.
- It's my opinion that we accomplish everything that we set out to do!
Why do I say this? Results. That is the bottom line.
I hope your goal is to become free of nicotine and the hazards of smokeless tobacco. My goal is to help you on your way to becoming tobacco free!
Does this program cost anything. That depends on your point of view. Many people consider the spending of almost $5.00 daily for dip or chew to be rediculous.
I have bought a can a day for years and didn't think anything of it. With this in mind, $39.99 for a program that also has a lifetime, Aftercare program just makes sense, doesn't it?
How about this then:
In reality, if you are serious about quitting, the tobacco company pays for your program anyway! [ more info ]
