Do you use chewing tobacco?

  1. Yes. It's delicious.

  2. Yes. But I'm trying to quit.

  3. No. I don't want to get cancer.

  4. No. But I used to.

  5. Maybe. I'm not really sure whether I chew tobacco or not.

  6. No. It's disgusting. Just to be clear, I'm not bothered at all by the cancer risk.

    How about the option that most would probably pick: No! It's a disgusting, filthy habit with no redeeming qualities.

    Why are most Cowboys not circumcised?

    They need someplace to put their chew whilst they're eating.

    True story.

    I've done it a few times and find it absolutely repulsive. All it does is get me nauseous. Then they made that shit called Snuz (sp?) where it's pouches you can swallow. How is that good for you? Quick story.. Was at a party s few years ago and this girl was like whoa what's his?! She put 2 pouches in her mouth and swallowed both.. Let's just say it didn't end well for her

    I don't know if it's the same thing as chewing tobacco but my first semester in college I got roomed up with 3 of the baseball players who "dipped". It came in a hockey puck shaped container and they'd always be spitting into a container and carrying around a container of nasty shit. I tried it once and didn't understand the draw - gross.

    It's definitely gag worthy when you wake up with a hangover from hell staring down the barrel of a filled up spit container.

    Yeah, that's what I was referring to in my post. I figured it was all the same. I know that you don't chew what we are talking about. I know a lot of people who mix Redman with Bazooka bubble gum though.

    My old college roommate loved dip because he felt smoking would effect his athleticism. I'll never forget when he drank too much and put in a huge wad of chew, only to projectile vomit while playing guitar. Hit the bucket he had in front of him though. New Hampshire hicks at their finest

    I love chewing. I don't do it now because I am trying really hard not to do it but I freakin love Red Man. I can count on my fingers how many times I've chewed in the past couple years but to this day if I'm out chilling with my guys and one of them pulls out Red Man I'm chewing the shit out of that stuff. So good. It may be a "a disgusting, filthy habit with no redeeming qualities...." but I don't give a shit... I like it

    anybody try this new stuff Snus? I tried it and its mild and refreshing

    I used to chew and dip, back when I was on the wrestling team in high school. Smoking was strongly discouraged because of all the cardio conditioning, so most of the folks on the team dipped or chewed tobacco. Today I am tobacco free.

    I used the snus for 2 weeks to wean myself of cigarettes. It wasn't bad.
    As for dip/chew, i used to dip while in the navy, sometimes it would be a long time between cigarettes , skoal would get me through those times.
    Now 2 years tobacco free

    It's a Swedish thing. You can apparently swallow the juice, but not the pouches. I'm sure it's not good for you either way.
    If you swallow the actual pouches, I bet you'd feel incredibly sick and start vomiting.

    first off, i do smoke cigars, so i have no issue with others' nicotine fixes. when i was in the Army, the PX downrange always had Skoal but often ran out of cigs

    my beef with chewing tobacco are the nasty dippers who don't discreetly dispose of their spit cups.

    I do smoke the occasional cigars, love me some Cohiba's and Montecristos.

    But chewing tobacco is a nightmare. Being an Indian, chewing tobacco or variations of it mixed into a leaf to chew on (called Paan) really has damaged alot of my family's teeth and mouth. Do avoid that shit...We have lost alot of people including athletes really young because of it (Gwynn and I think the Babe also)
