Anti-chewers unite

In the latest news not getting appropriate coverage in the anti-humour Australian media, citizen groups in the US are fighting the ever-increasing trend of second-hand tobacco spit in public. New York resident Glen Abramson explains: "I can't go to a bar without coming home reeking of tobacco spit. I have to wring my clothes out in the sink before I go to bed. Sometimes, I'll get them back from the dry-cleaners with flakes of chew still clinging in the weave."

You know who the goddam biggest tobacco chewers in the world are?

Norwegians.

I dunno if I can back that up with any stats but all the Norge's I had anything to do with at Uni (and there were heaps in my post grad) used to love chomping away on this foul smelling shit.

Big difference to the yanks. Americans stuff their wad on their bottom gum. Norwegians ram it up the top. Americans favour "smoky cool ranch cherry hot dang flavour" and Norge's prefer "cheesy smoky kipper doused in snhapps" flavour.

Norweigans? Who knew. S'pose between making porn (or is that the Danish?) they've gotta do something with their time.
