What is smokeless tobacco?
Smokeless tobacco products consist of tobacco that's chewed, sucked or sniffed, rather than smoked. Nicotine is absorbed through the tissues of the mouth and in some cases swallowed.
Many types of smokeless tobacco products are used around the world. In the U.S., the most popular include chewing tobacco, snuff, snus and dissolvable tobacco products.
