Sean Marsee was just twelve years old when he picked up some free samples of Skoal and Copenhagen tobacco at a local rodeo. Dipping snuff was a popular habit at his school, especially among the athletes. And Marsee, a budding track star, quickly grew accustomed to the feel of a juicy wad in his mouth and the slight head buzz that goes with it. By the time he entered high school, he was dipping his way through seven to ten cans a week. Then in 1983, his senior year, Marsee developed a painful sore on his tongue. It refused...

Once associated with lumberjacks, laborers and juice-spitting hayseeds, smokeless tobacco includes both the rough-cut chewing variety (Red Man, Mail < Pouch and other brands, which are held in the cheek and occasionally munched) and finely ground moist snuff (Copenhagen, Skoal and the like, which are usually packed in between the lower lip and gum).

...submachine guns to antitank weapons. Most of the bikers surrendered quietly, but in Connecticut a state trooper was shot in the hip by a suspect. The eleven-state offensive was the culmination of a three-year undercover operation dubbed Roughrider, part of a larger effort by Washington to snuff out new and unorthodox forms of organized crime. Authorities confiscated $2 million worth of illegal drugs during their investigation, including methamphetamines, cocaine and LSD. A similar multistate raid in February corralled about 90 members of a rival motorcycle gang, the Bandidos, on drug and weapons charges. Declared Attorney General Edwin Meese...
