EATING TOBACCOS Meaning and
Definition
-
"Eating tobacco" refers to the act of consuming or ingesting tobacco products orally, usually in the form of leaves, snuff, or chewing tobacco. This practice involves placing a small quantity of tobacco in the mouth and then either chewing it, sucking on it, or simply holding it against the gums or cheek. It is a form of tobacco consumption that does not involve smoking or inhaling the products.
Eating tobacco has been practiced for centuries, primarily as a tobacco alternative for those who do not wish to smoke or for individuals who are attempting to quit smoking. The method of ingestion allows the nicotine within the tobacco to be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth.
While chewing tobacco may provide a faster nicotine absorption compared to smoking, it also carries certain health risks. The oral use of tobacco can lead to various negative health effects, including mouth, tongue, or throat cancer, gum disease, tooth decay, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, sustained use of eating tobacco can result in nicotine addiction.
It is worth noting that eating tobacco is not the same as using smokeless tobacco, which includes snuff and snus. The latter are typically consumed by placing the tobacco product between the lip and gum, rather than being chewed.
