See, there's a silver lining in every cloud, even if it's a killer cloud of tobacco smoke. Because Indiana has the second-highest percentage of smokers in the nation, we get to be a test site for this cool new product:
It's called Taboka, a smokeless, spit-less tobacco product wrapped in sheath netting. It's just days away from its national one-city debut in Indianapolis.
Well, maybe not cool. What's the point of using a "smokeless tobacco" if you can't go around spitting out clumps of brown, ugly goo every few minutes? People might tell you it's disgusting, but at least they're not getting it in their lungs, right? This sounds like something you might want to accompany with a nice, refreshing non-alcoholic beer.
I had an uncle -- Victor, and I swear I'm not making this up -- who could keep a wad of gum going in one cheek and a wad of tobacco going in the other and never get them mixed up.
