YUCK! A few of my college guy friends did that, and I just wanted to vomit when they did it around me. How fun can it possibly be to carry around a spit can? One night a bunch of us were out drinking, and my friend was spitting into an empty beer can, and he set it down next to my friend's drink...I'll spare you the details but .

As a person trying to quit smoking, I know how hard it is to stop using nicotine, and that you really have to want to do it for yourself. Nothing anyone says to you will be likely to make a difference. I hope he quits soon!
