What is the science behind Camels new non-spit oral tobacco product?
#krippledkonscious: why you don’t have to spit: basically because the tobacco is processed differently; steam-cured in snus vs. fire-cured for dip/chew. The reason you don’t swallow with dip (loose snuff) or chaw is that you would swallow tobacco particles and continue to extract more nicotine from them in your stomach and get you pretty sick. When the tobacco is in a condom teabag you don’t run that risk, but swallowing the saliva extract can still upset your stomach and increase the nicotine dose. Actually the right way to use loose or bagged snuf is to shove it high up your cheek so it only gets a little saliva contact. If you do this with loose then you can swallow (as long as your saliva isn’t full of tobacco particles).
