Inconsiderate tobacco chewers.

[BlaqueKatt]

And he always has leftovers in between a few of his teeth.

More than once I ran across a big plug of nasty chewing tobacco, clogging up the fountain when I went to get a drink.

have these people never heard of the chewing tobacco that comes in a nice little pouch that you can neatly dispose of in a damn trash can?

I used the pouch kind, and my spit bottle was covered in duct tape, so it wouldn't get confused with someone's drink, and so no one would actually see a bottle full of spit.

SNUS, Katt? Most guys I know think it's not "manly" to chew that stuff.

I've been tempted to go the desperate route and try some at work. Those pouches are really small and don't put a big poof in your cheek.

If it were possible to do that and chew gum at the same time, no one would know I was doing anything.

I successfully switched from smoking to snus for my nicotine fix because you don't have to spit with snus. You put it in your upper lip which doesn't cause excess saliva production like the lower lip. Snus is also cured differently than chew, so you don't have to spit with it. Before snus was introduced in the states, my wife and I used to constantly fight over my smoking habit because she doesn't like it.

Chew never appealed to me because of the spitting. I tried it once or twice as an alternative, and knowing I would need to spit was enough to trigger my gag reflex after a few minutes. Then, there's the choice between just spitting wherever like some slob, or constantly carrying a makeshift spitoon. I'm too considerate to just spit wherever because it pisses me off when others spit wherever. Just knowing what was in the spitoon was enough to trigger my gag reflex yet again if I thought about it for more than a second or two. The only kind of chew I even considered trying were the pouches because I also gagged at the thought of loose tobacco in my mouth.

The other benefit is that I can discreetly pop a pouch of snus whenever I have a craving. The only way anyone would realize what I was doing would be if I was drawing undue attention to myself. Then, when I'm done, I just throw the used snus pouch in the trash.

You people tickle me, dipping is for pussys, if you're gonna chew bypass the flavored cans and get a pouch of Red Man, a plug or a twist. BTW real men don't spit they swallow (the tobacco.) I grew up on a farm and we raised the stuff. I've spent many days with a hoe in my hand chopping the weeds out. Many days when it was so hot and also many days when it was so cold you thought you were gonna freeze. Raising tobacco is a hard life and at one time it paid fairly well not so much these days.
I agree with the spittoons all the carpets in our work vans hav been ruined by the chewer by spilling their spittoons.

I was at Rock Band Night last night and nearly very soldier was dipping. It smelled insanely bad. In fact, it smelled so bad I kept gagging and nearly threw up. Dear God I have no idea why'd you do that crap.

[Gravekeeper]

I wasn't even aware chewing tobacco even existed anymore. -.-

You don't live in redneck country, then, do you?

[Peppergirl]

My ex went through phases where he'd do it when he was trying to quit smoking cigs. Not real smart, as I tried to explain....to no avail.

Nasty shit.

I'm embarrassed to admit I tried it once whilst intoxicated, and promptly threw up. And I was a smoker at the time, so that's saying alot.

[blas87]

It's different than smoking, Pepper. No need to be embarrassed of it.

If you want to hear something hilarious, my bf in his "mission" to "make" me quit smoking, has suggested I try SNUS. I'm just like....wait, you forbid me from smoking around you, you go on endless tirades and rants about me smoking, and now you want me to chew instead of smoke? Are you stupid or something?

[Gravekeeper]

You don't live in redneck country, then, do you?

No, I am amazingly far north of redneck country in the socialist hippy wasteland up here. -.- I think we have red necks somewhere around the middle, but they're mainly beer drinkers.

The only "rednecks" in British Columbia are hipsters doing it ironically.
