Matt Miller.....kudos, buddy. Kudos to all of you guys who've kicked this.

I grew up raising tobacco.....and I still dip whenI feel the urge (dipping, now). Don't do it at home. Don't when I hunt (I'm guessing ROb never even knew I used smokeless tobacco). It doesn't have a hold on me like I know it does, others.

To answer the thread question....I'd pose one of my own.

If you smoke on stand......why would you practice ANY form of scent control? It would seem a futile measure, to me.
Futile? Not really.Smoke rises, that's a basic concept. If you're 20ft up a tree, much more than likely that smoke will be way above the nose of a deer. The scent control helps while entering the woods by not leaving scent that deer can pick up, ground wise.I believe themovements associated with smoking will get you busted much more quickly than the actual odor of the smoke itself. I'm not condoning this activity though.
