Smokeless tobacco is so named because it is taken into the body without being smoked. Although nicotine is not carried to the lungs by smoking, it does enter the bloodstream by being absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Moist snuff is put between the gum and lip or gum and cheek and held there.
Moist snuff looks like wet tea and is sold in small cans or sacks.
Chewing tobacco is more coarse than snuff. PLUG is a brick of tobacco. Both dippers and chewers suck on the tobacco. The sulking action increases saliva flow, causing the tobacco to produce juices. The mixture can cause nausea if swallowed, so the user Must spit out the saliva and juices.
