Yeah well, tobacco is a big part of our economy, although that's shrinking year by year. Damned near everybody either smokes, chews or dips.
Myself, I quit smoking when a pack of cigarettes hit 2 bucks a pack, but I do love my Copenhagen. Back then I was smoking 3 packs daily which would run me between 20 or 25 bucks in today's prices, but my Copenhagen habit nowadays is about 15 bucks a week, if that.
And no, I'm not one of those people that are constantly spitting. That shit's disgusting. Matter of fact, I've been dipping for so long, I don't have the urge to spit at all.
