Hick Town Jew

I must tell you that I have begun to have a little chewing tobacco on Shabbas. Its all I can do to get through a day where I choose not to light a flame.  (so no smoking).  I keep it in my medicine cabinet and use it for about 3 minutes.  I have some nicotine gum as well. but it starts to make your tongue tingle.
So 2 times now in the last 3 weeks, I have had a small amount of tobacco by the chew to tide me over.  Disgusting?  Well, yes.  I last tried it in undergraduate where I took one chew and thought I would puke (though I think I was ok).  I never wished to try it again, but it might be the medication I need.   Have a friend who told me that the Skoal long cut mint that I tried was really bad but that I might want to try one called Mail bag or somthing like that. This one comes in a pouch. We will see.
I say that tobacco in the non smoked form is ok on Shabbas, but you probably wont see me in my living room spitting the brown juice. I'll stick to a 5 minute bathroom routine maybe once.  Last week I did not do this.  So, Hick Town Jew I may be.
