What Causes Constipation After Discontinuation Of Dipping Tobacco?

Hi, I am 20 years old and have been using smokeless tobacco (dip) for about four years now. I want to quit and I feel as if I am not even that addicted to it (i only use it four times a day max, most days even less). The only thing is that every time I try to go without it for a few days I cannot have a bowel movement. Things just dont move like they do when I dip. any advice on things I could try to help with this?

Hi,

You make your heart strong and leave this habit. For regular motion, you can change habits like drinking lukewarm water before going to pass motion. You can do it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
