chewing tobacco

Spit cup habit

Chewing tobacco is tobacco prepared for oral use rather than smoking.

Users place a wad between cheek and gum, chewing periodically to release nicotine.

It requires spitting the accumulated juice, making it unwelcome indoors.

Common among baseball players and in rural areas: He packed a lip of chewing tobacco.

Also called chew or dip.
