Well, I don't spit cause I want to, i spit cause I have to. If I am smoking a particularly strong, good size cigar, a very strong tobacco flavor builds up in my mouth along with a great deal of saliva. So I can either spit or swallow it. Swallowing it makes me ill, so I go to the bathroom every time I need to (not to often, but several times, usually at the very end of a very large, strong cigar) and spit.
