What is Moist Snuff?
Dipping tobacco, also known as moist snuff or spit tobacco, is a form of smokeless tobacco. It is commonly referred to as dip. The act of using it is called dipping. Dip is colloquially called "chew"; because of this, it is commonly confused with
chewing tobacco. It is a version of the Swedish "snus" that was brought to America by Swedish immigrants in the 19th century.
Instead of literally chewing on tobacco, a small clump of dip is 'pinched' out of the tin and placed between the upper lip and the gums. The dip rests on the inside lining of the mouth usually for ten to thirty minutes. Nicotine is absorbed by the inferior or superior labial arteries.
Dip tobacco, unlike the Swedish variant
snus, often causes the user to produce excess saliva while dipping. This is typically spat onto the ground or in a container, because swallowing can cause irritation to the esophagus, and induce nausea and vomiting. However, long-time users can swallow the tobacco-saliva with no ill effects. This is also called "gutting" it. Smokeless tobacco is
much more common then
scrap tobacco, or
chewing tobacco, and is sometimes used in the workplace by employees; especially if the employer does not provide many cigarette breaks, or, if the employee is constantly using both hands during work (which doesn't provide opportunities for smoking tobacco).
The difference between cut sizes are the length of the strands of tobacco.
- Long cuts are easiest to pack and keep comfortably in the mouth.
- Mid cuts are comparable to small granules at about 1 mm cubed.
- Fine cuts are slightly larger than sand or coffee grounds.
- Moist snuffs are the granular size of fine dirt or sand. Extremely small
cut.
- Pouches hold fine cut tobacco in a small, teabag-like pouch. They are
less messy because the tobacco won't fall out of one's fingers and mouth.
Spitless pouches are Snus.
