You see I have been with the County S O for 18 years, back in the early 90s I worked in the jail up on the floors where we housed the inmates. I'm talking 600 to 800 inmates on one floor, and on night shift we had 4 to 5 deputies per floor. But thats another story LOL. So there was smoking in the jail, yes anybody could smoke. Inmates, Deputies etc.... Now 95% of everybody smoked cigs, thats includes inmates. I did know what deputy that smoked a pipe but that has nothing to do with this story.

So 600 to 800 inmates smoking pretty much 24 hours a day and you can guess just how nasty it was in that jail. So one year they decide there will be no more smoking in county buildings, yes including the jail. So 12,000 inmates had to go cold turkey. So they decided we will sell smokeless tobacco to help them kick smoking. Chewing tobacco sold better then snuff/dip because by volume you get a lot more.

The inmates would take this chewing tobacco and spread it out, fold it up in paper and dry it out. Now this took them a long time to dry it out (way more then a day). Then they would wrap it up in what ever paper they thought would burn good and smoke it like a cig. Didn't take long to find them because that stuff smell like s*ht!

So then the county stopped selling all tobacco because they would smoke it. Now the real nasty part. Deputies could still use smokeless tobacco. And most would use snuff/dip. The floor worker inmates started taking the spit cups out of the trash, drying out the tobacco that was in the spit and sell it to other inmates to smoke. That is just nasty!

So can you smoke it, yes, in a pipe, I'm sure if you dry it out enough. Will it be good, it smells like s*ht. Good luck!

Well, that story about the smell sorta killed wanting to try this. lol, I don't know, might still have to...if I feel brave enough or the fan is facing outwards.
