Health - spit or swallow tobacco juice?

[happatai]

every time i smoke cigarettes, my mouth builds up a lot of spit and i
have to spit constantly. most people say that they "dont let the spit
build up", so they swallow it. I would have no problem swallowing my
spit, but i still do try to care for my health. Would swallowing my
spit be much of a health hazard? Thanks.

When I'm outside and alone, I would just spit every once in awhile. It isn't healthy since all the junk does get absorbed by your spit, but if your smoking, your probably not doing it for health reasons...

Swallow in public, spit in private.

P.S. glad nobody asked that about chewing tobacco...

I never spit indoors but I occasionally spit outdoors, just like Sands of Time there.

well i wouldnt swallow cuz 1 it makes ur spit taste like shitttt and why the fuck not just spit it out if anything swallowing cant be good even if its not that bad for u. i dont see why u would be concerned about people seeing u spitting for those who said spit in private swallow in public, who really gives a flying fuck if someone sees u spit,honestly if they have a problem with spitting then they just deserve abig black loogy from all the tar in those fuckin lungs to be spat rihgt up in there face
and trust me u dont wanna see when i hack up black shit

Swallowing saliva is actually better for you than spitting it out when smoking (or even playing sports) because it hydrates your mouth. You can get over the taste if it's tasty weed.

I smoke and my mouth doesn't build up saliva. If yours does and spitting swallowing is a problem, take a drink with your ciggies, so your spit will be very tasty.

believe it or not, despite the fact i smoke, i still consider my
health. i mean, i should atleast be somewhat concerned... its just
health, not really the taste.

i don´t get it? health reasons? explain? by the way when im puffin a cigar spit builds in my mouth to, but not when im smokin a cig, so try not to hold to much smoke in ur mouth

i think spitting or swallowing is going to make really no difference at all, like would u walk around with a gas mask on all the time in hopes of living longer? i doubt it.


and also who said there isnt the same risk swallowing it, personally i would think that would be worse for u, though i dont actually have facts you would think tar and carcinogens and such would collect in ur spit a little bit, think of it like bongwater but to a not even close extent.Edited by: bcStoner420

the same thing happens to me when i smoke cigs, i always develop salivia and i spit it out since the taste of cig spit is not great.

I do use chewing tobacco and I do indeed swallow the juice. When I first throw it in I spit a few times to get the floaters out but after that I swallow whatever juice there is, you have to build up to it over time, oh and I use Copenhagen snuff, which isn't very juicy anyway.
