I don't chew. I tried it once during a baseball game when I was in high school and about threw up. My grandfather is 98 years old. He chewed since the age of 12 until he was 92 when the Dr. told him to quit. He did cold turkey. People can live a long happy life chewing tobacco but they also can shorten their life as well. It's everybody's decision nobody is right nobody is wrong. As long as it's legal then I have zero problem with people chewing on stand. In fact, if it does spook deer then let them come over my way.
