Dipping tobacco

Dipping tobacco is a form of smokeless tobacco that is very common in the U.S. today. It is ground or shredded tobacco leaves that are moistened and placed between the cheek and gum. Dipping tobacco is generally referred to as simply "dip", but some may call it, arguably incorrectly, "chew". It is a distinct product from chewing tobacco, which also presents itself in several forms.

Dipping tobacco, although the first product resembling it came on the market in the 1800s (Copenhagen Snuff), it is otherwise a relatively recent phenomenon, with a proliferation of new products largely since the 2000s.

Although less popular than other forms of tobacco such as cigarettes, dipping tobacco does have nationwide users and is generally available, at least some brands, in nearly all tobacco retailers in the U.S. Use is generally more widespread in rural areas, and within a demographic of males.
