I dipped copenhagen snufffor 10 years and always dipped in the stand and spit out of the stand. Deer never really paid it any attention that i noticed. I quit after i found out i needed surgery to replace gum tissue on some of my bottom teeth, coincidently the same places where i put the snuff frequently. The Doc also said i had the beginning of Leucoplakia(sp?)on parts of my gums.It was very hard quiting from dipping a can a day for that long, but it can be done. All my friends and my brother still dip, but it scared me straight. I would urge you all to quit
