My friend and I are arguing. Assuming you are accepting the inherent risks in dipping, does it add any further risk if you swallow the spit, rather than actually spitting it?
Seriously you've been around this long and don't know dipping is oral/lip use of ground tobacco? It's like crossing chewing tobacco with coffee grounds, or a powder like fine grind in a sealed pouch like a tea bag aka snuff but oral instead of snorted. It makes your mouth water, then it's spit or swallow. Practically nobody swallows if they don't have to.What the hell is dipping? and what is it that you are swallowing?
Is that code for semen?
I would expect a higher chance of gastrointestinal and pancreatic cancer. Dip has been getting safer over the years due to improved manufacturing, but it still uses fermented fire cured tobacco. That has a moderate tsna count, and it tends to rise as it ages over weeks/months at room temperature. I use snus, which is air cured and pasteurized. It has a low tsna count that doesn't rise appreciably over time. I never spit with snus. Once in a blue I'll buy dip, and I only spit a couple times, and then swallow the rest. I'm not worried about it for the little bit I use dip. If I used it daily, I'd be more concerned.
Why do people even use chewing tobacco? Serious question. Everything about it sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. I can't imagine what leads a person to try it for the first time.

This is pretty much what I've been thinking while reading this thread. My only explanation is that coca leaves, while offering a better high and certainly far safer, are illegal. So, that sucks.
I used to be a smoker, and I was curious why people did it as well, so I tried it once.Why do people even use chewing tobacco? Serious question. Everything about it sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. I can't imagine what leads a person to try it for the first time.
I wonder if chewing the leaves has any undocumented health risks. Kinda hard to run a study on it. I doubt the plantation owners keep many records.
