I love the way you guys justify tobacco use, as its a "culture" thing. Next time I hear you moaning about rap or hiphop remember its cool, its a "culture" thing.

3 out of your 4 are not illegal and another depends on your state, age and a number of other factors. Underage drinking and use of tobacco products is illegal. Has nothing to do with if I use tobacco products or drink. I am of legal age and so if I wish to do so then I can. Would you have a beer on the sidelines then? You are of age. If you have an 18 year old senior coming up to the doors of the school for two-a-days and he has a dip in is that cool? If you are at home and choosing to partake in tobacco or alcohol products, of course, that's your choice...you are of age. Is it a different story when acting as a member of your school's community in a specific leadership capacity?

I knew a guy that got turned in for chewing by an opponent's AD because they were beating the piss out of them. He got suspended. He still chews.
I think every staff has a chewer. I don't do it, but maybe because I'm too big a Yankee (grew up in Connecticut/Maine).

I have one in now. At my last job did it all the time, no one said anything. The AD went nuts once when a coach was spitting and it was caught on tv.
My new job I just have to be more sly about it. Been warrend twice, so I've backed off a bit. But again, it is what it is.

don't chew anymore and haven't for 20+ years, but what i remember is that there was nothing like a chew after a meal, or if you were constipated... seems like there is always a chewer on the coaching staff...

I don't chew, but I met a guy a few weeks ago and he was pretty proud of the fact, that he put his Cope up high and swallowed it. The other guys around me seemed pretty impressed...I had no frickin clue what anyone was talkin about

I used to dip, man there was nothing like taking a huge lipper right after practice in college and jumping in the shower. After meals and/or several adult beverages were also good times.

Spit when I can, but can and do swallow. I know it's unhealthy, if y'all were married to my wife you'd be trying to get to the end faster too, so don't judge. {censored} just came out my nose....... LOL

Many threads here discussing "saggin" or gangsta rap, or the word Nigga or (derivatives) and I seem to remember many of the posts in those threads considered those things unacceptable.

And I do love my wife. Most of our staff chews, all the teachers do. School is a Tobacco free zone but they all chew. They are very good at hiding it. I am a reformed dipper. I was a Cope guy, all my cohorts use Kodiak or Grizzly. It's hard as hell to quit! I have been drinking with them and almost have taken a dip. I don't dare. I'd be hooked. Certainly not a great example but they all hide it so well I can't tell when they have a dip in. If it was noticeable in front of the boys I'd get in their grill. It's not, so it's not a problem.
