Ever wondered how these cowboys can dip every and anywhere without having the need to spit? They gut the tobacco juices and therefore have no need to spit. You may have tried this before, and found it too unpleasant to do consistently, or maybe it even made you a bit sick to your stomach. With practice, you can learn to gain a tolerance to this technique. This will allow you to use chewing tobacco without the inconvenience of having to spit.

  1. 1
    Get your dip ready. Put an average size dip into the front center of your lip.

    Swallow the first couple of juice build ups. Once the juices have built up, grab a bottle of water or a soft drink of your choice and take a sip to wash down the build up juices with the drink.
    • Remember, now you don't need to spit the first couple of times. You should be able to gut the juice with your drink right away.

    Get through some of dip with this process. Keep swallowing the juice with sips of your drink for 10 to 15 minutes. The juices are now less strong.

    Gut without the drink for the weaker juices. Once the juices have built up a little, you can swallow the juices without any drink. Do not wait until the juices have built up substantially. Just swallow once they have built up a little bit. Keep doing this until you've finished the dip. Then take it out.
  5. 5
    Practice gutting the dip without a drink. Repeat this process for a couple of days, until you get used to swallowing the weaker tobacco juices.

Gutting Without Any Drink

  1. 1
    Get your dip ready. Put an average size dip in your mouth. It's easy in the front of your mouth, but you can also put it to one side or the other.
  2. 2
    Gut the juices. Once the juices have built up a bit, swallow (or gut) the juices. Remember to gut before the juices build up substantially.
  3. 3
    Finish the dip. Keep gutting the juices until you are done with the dip. Then take it out.
    • If you start to feel sick or nauseated at any point, stop gutting and try again later.

    Gut more juice once you're ready. Once you have built up your tolerance, you can let more juices build up before you gut them.
