I seem to remember that a lot of the guys used to dip snuff or chew tobacco. It was easier to use in that form when one was operating around aircraft or munitions. Versus a burning cigarette, smokeless tobacco doesn't give ones position away at night in a tactical enviroment. Chewing tobacco is also easier to use than cigarettes during inclimate weather.

I don't use nor advocate the use of tobacco products.
