Default Chewing tobacco

I had the unpleasant experience of spending time with someone yesterday who was chewing tobacco To say it was disgusting was an understatement, and to make matters worse he found it highly amusing that I was so offended by it
So guys, would ya? could ya? have ya?
Please tell me this is a habit that us brits would never pick up :scared:

I smoke ( I know ... bad enough ) but wouldn't do that. Would be like chewing a cigarette. They used to sell Skoal Bandits ( I Think that's what they are called ) which were like teabags of tobacco - I guess chewing tobacco for wimps, and I'm sure they were banned in the UK shortly afterwards, but may be wrong.

Never in a million years!

It's a major cause of facial cancer, and, is a big thing to do for Baseball Players. When you see a player's bottom lip protuding about 3" from his teeth, you can bet he has a boat load of chewing tobacco stuck in there (look at Sammy Sosa for example).

OH came home from work one day fuming...someone had spat into his waste paper basket...he found the culprit and threatened to *knock his block off* if he did it again, he also found it strange that OH was offended...

I tried it once, when very, very drunk. I quit smoking when I moved so god alone knows why I tried it (peer pressure probably ). It was $#%@ing horrible and it lasted about 4 seconds before I threw up

Another thing on the list of "yeah I've done that, never again though" I suppose

Excellent idea. Maybe we could get the makers to place the instructions on the tin.
