How common is dipping?

HC, you need to realize something. People that smoke NOW know. It took decades before MAY BE Hazardous To Your Health was printed on packs.
We were surrounded by it. TV stars, Movie stars, Baseball players all smoked. So take your sanctimonious opinions and blow them up your ass.

I remember the days that the Marlboro man road across my TV screen 6 times an hour. He was only interrupted by those that would rather fight than switch.

I am reminded of a story my old plant manager told me regarding smoking. Seems he was in the Marines stationed in Okinawa in the late 50's early 60's. They would do their routines of PT and then the sarge would tell the squad to hold up for a 5 minute smoke break. "Light em if you got em". Those that didn't have smokes had to continue runnning, do pushups etc while the others had their smoke break. Wasn't long before the entire squad was confirmed hard core smokers.

(He later quit cigarettes in the late 70's but by then had taken up the pipe instead. He finally quit althogether right around 1990.)

But this is true of a lot of work. I knew places where the only people who could take breaks were smokers.

You just reminded me of the guy in Thank You for Smoking that was suing big tobacco because he got cancer...

Anyone who still regularly smokes, or dips, is an idiot! FACT!

Exhibit A: People like Slowwie and DFG - need I say more...

Not fair, do we tell you not to molest sheep? I don't hold that against you nor does it affect our friendship.
Quit being so shallow.

The title of the post is a question, Poindexter.

And yet you don't care about what anyone thinks of your answer, dickface.

[Docfeelgood]

Is Poindexter having a wittel tema tantrum?

[dannubis]

Is dickface still waiting for his two braincells to meet and produce a racist thought ?

[Docfeelgood]

I love it how hard nerds try but always fail at insults!

Kinda cute though

Something I just noticed with Ogie's post: nobody calls them "sarge." Ever. It's "sarnt."

[Docfeelgood]

"sarnt." "A term used in the British Armed Forces to mean, basically, **** off."


R u sure?

I got friends who dip, and my understanding is that it's a much more cost effective way of feeding their addiction.

This dipping you talk about, is that where you have moist tobacco in your upper lip? JM makes me think so from his replies, but you don't go around spitting all the time when you use "snus"(which it is called in Scandinavia). I think that's what you do with tobacco you chew?

lower lip, with/without a pouch
