regardless of which is an easier habit to quit, both are mountains that are difficult to climb.

Don't get me wrong, you make a valid point but there is a mental aspect that goes along with chewing as well. I know the first time I go out fly fishing this spring without chewing is going to be a bitch. The same goes for hunting and several other activities that one relates to putting in a dip. A person starts mentally incorporating various tasks in life with putting in a dip, lighting up, or downing a can of Mountain Dew.
The bottom line is, a person has to be ready to quit no matter what habit they are trying to break. If that's not the case, the probability
of success is going to be limited at best.
