Coming from BFE Oregon, I know quite a few people that do it. My GF's cousin's family all chews, along with a few of my friends. When I'm around my GF's cousin (we are friends also) or my friends and they start dipping, I have to leave the area. It's so nasty, I don't know what they get out of it. I guess 'fitting in' has it's price sometimes. I can stand someone who smokes -- it's nasty -- but not repulsive. Dipping is. End of story.

I'd rather be around someone with a fat lip than someone who smells like a goddamn chimney and coughs a lung up every once in a while if not more frequently. Not all tobacco chewers are complete slobs about it.

Perhaps not where you're from, but the experiences that I've had are much the opposite. I have found that people who chew are very proud of there habit, and tend to spit every other sentence, as if it were an added form of punctuation.

Also, it's easy to identify -- thus ban -- smoking. Chewing is very much the opposite. I've seen people in movie theaters whip out the chew and dip while watching movies, waiting for dinner to arrive, and at indoor sporting events, places where smoking would never be allowed.

Yup. You know why? Because second-hand smoke and side-stream smoke kill people other than the one holding the cig. Spitting into a cup doesn't.

I've seen three movies in the past week, all of which I had a dip in the entire movie.

I've 'dipped' coffee before. Just a pinch between your cheek and your gums wakes ya right up.

I don't know but I'd rather die of lung cancer than have my tongue, larynx or esophagus removed.

No you wouldn't. I almost lost my great aunt to lung cancer. She's got half of one lung removed, 3/4 of the other, IIRC. If you say you'd rather die of lung cancer, you obviously have never been around someone with it. :brokenheart:

au contrair mon frere. My grandfather, 2 aunts (one after a transplant), and 3 uncles died of lung cancer. My father, however, died of esophageal cancer. I do, in fact, know of which I speak.
That being said, I'd rather have my esophagus removed and a gastric pull-up than die of any colorectal cancer, (which I don't have any experience with).

You'll remember I FVCKING HATE CANCER, and will beat the ever-loving sh!t out of it if I ever meet it on the street.

This article about made me cry.

good old mouth cancer. nothing like having your jaw amputated to get the day started off right.

You guys are talking like you get mouth cancer from a single dip. Who gets lung cancer after a single smoke? It takes years and years and years to develop if the tobacco is the only factor.

yeah. Alot of people at my work do...I personally would never do it and think it makes you look retarded, but I hold the same views for smoking. Whatever floats your boat, just isnt for me.
