What's it like?

Very gross. Gave me a wicked head rush though. Your not supposed to swallow any of it but I swallowed some of the juice and felt sick. I have severe slapstick tendencies so chewing tobacco is not for me.

I tried it a couple times, didn't really see the point. You have to keep spitting etc.
Cigarettes are much cleaner and they don't make you look like a total pud either.

I think cigarettes make men look like sissies. I'd never smoke a cigarette. Totally gross.

Chewing tobacco looks yummy / fun though

Dude you know how non-smokers look down on smokers (obv. you do, heh)
Well dippers are the next rung down on the hierarchy dude.
Waaay grosser and disgusting even to most smokers.

Most non-smokers don't like kissing smokers.
I'm a smoker, and I would NEVER kiss a dipper.
Ewwwwwwwwww, fucking gross.

I'm getting an image of Aaron kissing Babe Ruth at the moment.

it is the ultimate turn off. i would never contemplate dating a dipper.

i pretty much would rather be alone for the rest of my life than be involved with a dipper.

Really, how much are cigarette papers in your country?

TS: Looking like a sissy vs. looking like an inbred moron

Plus, it doesn't even really have a macho baseball connotation anymore as much as a Deliverance one.

Is chewing tobacco legal in the UK? I have a feeling it isn't.

Back in the '80s, my MP took lots of money from a tobacco company in return for lobbying for the legalisation of chewing tobacco (or their own type of chewing tobacco, or something), and there were lots of graphic pictures of mouth cancers on the news.

(he eventually became a junior whip, but was sacked when the News Of The World outed him. He was also one of the MPs accused of taking cash for questions, was chucked out in '97, and is a journalist now - I think he writes for the Times.)

Plus you don't really 'chew' chewing tobacco - you just kinda put a wad of it between your gums and cheeks and leave it there while you spit away. I got some on trip to Florida in my college years, and it was gross. Kinda buzzed me out but not in a good way. And it stung my gums. My one friend (who probably swallowed a bit accidentally) threw up violently as a result of it. Yuck.

I used to dip Skoal Mint. It had me addicted something fierce in high school, and led to me smoking. It tastes good and feels awesome. The only problem is, dip has a much higher concentration of nicotine than cigarettes so addiction is certain, but as noted, it is less socially acceptable (unless you play lacrosse and are in high school). You can't drink while you do it (or you can, it just makes both the dip and the beer taste nasty), girls pretty much universally hate the brown spit, it lasts longer than a cigarette so it's not like simply going out for a cigarette break, etc.

yeah, skoal was what i tried. actually, the truth behind my flordia story was that we were getting gas somewhere in georgia and there was this crazy skoal van in the parking lot (they sponsor(ed) NASCAR stuff i think). we were posing in front of it for a picture (seemed funny at the time), and the dude came out and said "y'all want some free samples?" "hell, yeah!" we replied. we got quite the variety, but i didn't try the mint.

what's the consistency like?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Monday, 4 October 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ground coffee.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 4 October 2004 15:00 (twenty-one years ago)

dip = ground coffee
chew = wet leaves and occassional twig.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 4 October 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

chewing tobacco also kinda hurts when you put it in your gums. ive read (on this board?) that some companies put glass in their products to facilitate getting the nicotine into your bloodstream.

nevertheless, chew will totally fuck you up. its also completely disgusting and pretty addictive.

I think I told this story once before, but F it. Once I went to the bar with three dollars in my wallet to split a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea with a friend. All night long drinks kept appearing in front of me (including from a dude I mouthed off to arbitrarily). Long story short I wound up absolutely smashed at a friends place and was convinced to try skoal for the first time, which as it turns out is a terrible idea when you're drunk; I felt absolutely fantastic right up until that precise moment. Night closed with me stumbling home with a CD rack under my arm and repeatedly barfing in the alley the whole way. Not my finest moment.

lol, also the night I met and had a lengthy conversation with this dude in an oversized 2pac shirt who was all "I'm from Vegas, I know 50 Cent I'm on his album, see these phone numbers they're all strippers, I never use condoms, I have 3 kids, I KNOW 50 CENT, (etc etc)..." Two or three days later I saw him in the grocery store where I work at 2am wearing the exact same clothes and applying for a job.

― RabiesAngentleman, Wednesday, 23 July 2008 13:51 (seventeen years ago)
