Spit or Swallow ???....Skoal Chewing

smb · Post by **smb** » Tue Jul 17, 2001 4:08 pm

Damn, those skoal chewing bastards !!!

One guy here at work came in to my office, and just spilled his Skoal spit cup on my desk, and on my project drawings. Needless to say, I told him to "get the hell out, after you finish cleaning my workstation". He said he wouldn't use the cup anymore in my office, I said "what are you gonna do, swallow that crap" ? he replied "yes", and looked at me like I was goofy.

What a nasty habit

any case, who chews, and of course do you spit or swallow, and don't you get a belly ache ?

Been dipping for 20 year + and I don't spit. There's nothing nastier than a skoal spit cup. Of course, I'm not one of those dippers who stick half a can in their mouth at one time either.

i know someone that lost about 1/2 their jaw to mouth cancer from doing that disgusting cr@p. sad part was that while he was being treated for it (in its early stages), he KEPT using it. sad.

still better than pigarette smokers, however.

I need to quick this crap, but just don't have the will-power to try right now. I've read that its harder than giving up cigarettes. I guess I could load up on the patch and nicotine gum.

My friend dips but he'll swollow if he needs to. I tried it (first stuff was copenhagen) and I got light-headed at first, then sick. Felt like I was gonna throw up for about 30minutes 'till it got outta my system. I also tried chewin' which didn't get my sick and it didn't taste that bad, but that stuff isn't for me.

Alright, I guess I have to ask now.........WHY does anyone ever start chewing that stuff in the first place, what's the initial temptation?
I use to smoke cigs and a few other things in my younger days but the thought of putting that stuff in my mouth never once seemed like a good idea.

Me neither, I've been through that cigarette smoking stage, nothing to exciting so I quite. I still smoke herb here and there, but theres reasons for that, and its not anywhere near as bad for you as smoking cigarettes or even drinking. But like evilhorace said, I never even thought of putting that crap in my mouth.

Your smoking marijuana young man? What reasons do you have to do so?

I did it cause my friend offerd it to me and life, to me, is tryin' lots of different things. Figured I'd try it and see what he liked about it....It didn't take on me. I've never once smoked a cig and don't think I ever will cause I just hate 'em. Smoke makes my nose itch, makes shit smell, bleh. To many negatives to even try it.

I've smoked tea too, but I was under a bad influence and haven't touched the stuff in ages....I don't think it's a terrible thing to do as long as you don't hurt anyone or anything doin' it. Do I feel bad for smokin' it? Not at all.

What reasons eh? Well I enjoy it

It makes things more interesting, its a way to easily relax, almost everybody I've ever smoked with is in a better mood when high, and no matter whats happening its funny

Well most things anyways.

I personnaly think chewing is gross. Ive never actually tried it...but I do remember I was at a party and this girl was chewing on a deck and I was probably 10-15 feet away when she threw up.....there were big chunks of chew falling to the ground.....it was gross. Thats pretty much my motivation to never do that.

Frost: yer a baaaad kid... j/k

I agree it does take problems offa yer mind tho......but yeah.....ok im gonna shuddup now....

I chew a can of Copenhagen a week. Only when i'm at work. I can't swallow that stuff or it gives me heartburn. Call me a freak but i like the way it tastes and we're all just a bunch of country boys out here anyways... Anyone that has half a brain and spits in a cup knows to put some napkins or something to soak up the spit incase of spillage. Especially in a office. And Frost i know for a fact bud ain't better that cigs. Do some research, there's a who internet of info at your finger tips so use it! But yeah ain't nothin' like rollin' a big fatty and kickin' back :B Damn that sounds good too right about now. My short term memory has done been baked enough so i think i'll pass.

LOL! There's a story to convince most to never try it.

Another thing, there's nothing (and I mean NOTHING) grosser than seeing a guy spit out a big slimey wad of that stuff. That in itself almost makes me want to puke.
Just looking at it sitting there still "fresh" in its can looks nasty to me. I'd rather chew some gum, candy or nothing than put some black greasy looking stuff in my mouth, not to mention what it makes your teeth look like afterwords.
I guess that like most other bad habits, it's often tried because friends, etc near you do it and you go with the flow, at least when young. I'm just glad I never knew anyone that chewed it when younger and I know I'll never try it now.

i had a boss once who would chew cigars and spit the crap everyware

i like the smell of a pipe ! but hate the thing hanging out of my mouth

now i have smoked wacky tobacky out of a pipe once or maybe twice !
and a water pipe sure was better becouse those old metal pipes sure got a little toasty

but now im a dad and a whole lot grayer i dont do that wacky tobacky anymore !
besides i found i was allergic to the wackey tobacky (no bull ) it gave me headaches

I was a fairly heavy smoker when I went to work in an oil refinery that didn't allow smoking inside the fence. It was how I got my nicotine fix at work.
