I know they used to do it cus of the tobacco, but they all do it, all the time, tobacco or no tobacco? Is it a status thing? Like, "look at me, I am cool, I spit"? What gives?

It is against the rules to swallow.

If no one is around spit it out, If you have people around show some respect and swallow it. Its considered rude to some people.

Leave them alone, they are not bothering anyone so let it be. Besides you don't know if there is a medical reason for them to be smoking it. This is one thing you failed to mention. Cops have dangerous crimnals to worry about, not some small time smoker or one that smokes for medicinal purposes.

You are right about some,(white) guy! I am white but it seems only the fat older white guys do disgusting things at their tables! Why is that? My dad, uncle, brother and even my EX husband all did it and farted, belched, talked with their mouths full and even picked their nose, all in a restaurant, they were NOT raised that way! I hate to say this because it makes (us) look bad, but I never saw any (black) men behaving this way! I don't get it!!!!!

Nope you are falling into the hype machines.\n\nAlmost every smoker of today lived their entire lives from baby on around parents that smoked... sometimes both of them. They are not dieing any sooner than their parents, that most likely live around parents that didn't smoke.

I agree. It's usually the ex smokers too, in my experience.\nEach to their own, I say. \nI must admit though, I don't smoke around non smokers, especially my Son.

So you went to a party for the first time in ages after being at home with 3 kids and had nothing to talk about to anybody? And you really believe that the reason you didn't fit in and had nothing interesting to say was because you are not a smoker? Whoa! \n\nSO if you start smoking, you believe you will achieve a higher level of hipster consciousness. Really?\n\nAnd your smoking friends were just standing there and were in tune with all going on? Really? No careers, no lovers, no kids - sounds like a bunch of severe underachievers. That's polite for 'losers.' \n\nIt all sounds pretty fucking absurd and boring to me.\n\nI live in another world - perhaps you can call it a "bizarro" world- where those who do NOT smoke have important, interesting jobs; career success; friends; healthy, smart children who do not inhale second-hand smoke; have healthy skin (women who smoke have horrible skin); and do NOT tan because it's unhealthy.\n\nMaybe you should consider a personal coach rather than a cigarette habit.

Oh my god! I can't believe how many liars there are on here.\nSo far, not one person has admitted. \nWell I'll be the first. Yes, sometimes I eat my boogers.\nYes, I'm an adult. No, I'm not a horrible person.\nNo, I'm not a dirty or disgusting person. They dont taste that bad. Just kind of salty. The thought of eating someone else's boogers is disgusting to me, but since they're my own, there's nothing wrong with it.\n\nI wouldnt do it in front of other people, and I dont do it all the time. There's really nothign wrong with it. Lighten up pepole.\nI'm sure lots of adults do it. It's not that unusual.

Spitting on some one is a FELONY. And yes you can be charged, sued, even put in jail. You have your whole life ahead of you, you don't want to mess up in life by acting before you think. I'm saying this in love OK. Apologize and go along with the program and please don't do anything like that again.

It's considered rude to do so in public.  A lack of self-control.  Also, it usually doesn't smell very pleasant. \n\nI have a saying too "I really don't like to smell what you had for dinner last night especially after it spent all that time rotting in your colon."  \n\nIf it's a mistake it's a mistake, you say excuse me or whatever and people laugh at you.  \n\nIf you do it on purpose, I think people have a right to get mad because it's rude and it shows that you don't care about how others feel.

It is definitely the abundant use of spices in Indo Pak food - but also some people fromt he Indian subcontinent (I am Indian) normally wear the same clothes for cooking and going out - as you know clothes and hair readily absorb all kinds of smell. \n\nVery often if you stant next to such a person, you will be able to figure out what that person cooked that day (and maybe get invited for dinner!)\n\nA good suggestion would be to do what I do - keep a few sets of clothes asie for such chores, use a shower cap for your hair and cook before you shower.\n\nSpitting is done only if they are chewing tobacco leaves  or 'paan' - swallowing the juice of tobacco leaves is quite heady and may cause dizziness. Don't know any other reason for spitting.....

Because they are just inconsiderate and lazy.\n\nI laugh at the ones that try to excuse themselves by bringing up the exhaust from cars:\n\n1) Many people NEED their cars to get to and from work (I know where I live using public transportation to get from my house to my job is impossible) whereas smoking is not NEEDED to get to and from work, actually it is not NEEDED at all, except by those to weak to cope with day-to-day life without a crutch\n\n2) Do these smokers that make that comparison NOT have cars?  Do they walk everywhere?

You don't actually "dip" Redman, you "chew" it. Dip, or the act of dipping is done with a different form of tobacco. Usually its in round cans that resemble hockey pucks. When you see someone who has one of those worn out circles or rings in their back pocket, this is the result of their can of dip. YOU DO NOT WANT TO ACTUALLY "CHEW" THIS!!! You take a pinch and place it between your lip and gums. You basically let it sit there in your lip and spit when you build up saliva. The nicotine is absorbed from the lining in your lip and gums. Brands include: Kodiak, Copenhagen, Skoal, ect. Slang terms for this are: dip, chew(although its technically something different), lipper, chaw, wad, snuff, ect.  \n\nRedman, however is a form of chewing tobacco which is completely different but shares some of the same slang terms. THIS YOU ARE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO CHEW, BUT NOT CONSTANTLY!! Chewing tobacco such as Redman usually comes in "packs" or pouches. The tobacco isn't cut nearly as fine as "dip"...usually its longer strands. You take a wad of the tobacco and place it in your cheek...kind of like bubble gum. With chewing tobacco, once inside your cheek, you want to just give it a couple of good chews at first to get the  juice going. Once its going just spit the juice/saliva out when it builds up. When it starts to lose flavor or it stops juicing, chew on it a bit more to get it going again. Again, the nicotine is absorbed through the lining in your cheek, gums, and mouth. Slang terms for Chewing tobacco include: chew, wad, side chew, chaw. The term "dip" is NEVER used in reference to chewing tobacco such as Redman. However the term "chew" can be used for both "dip" and chewing tobacco. Common brands of Chewing tobacco include: Redman, Beechnut, Levi Garrett, ect.

I believe it's because they think it looks "cool" or "hip". In reality, they look like fools. They also often claim it makes them "unique". However, it's not unique when everyone is doing it.

People swear because they THINK it makes them look cool.  And as a matter of fact, to other peple who swear, it does. To people like us who dont though, i does look stupid.  But they dont much care what we think about them, only other "cool" people.
