I think it's more acceptable tnan it usea to De," ne said. Price said, "I don't think it's any worse than smoking." While their most important tobacco accessories are in their room, the tobacco lovers enjoy a good chew just about anywhere. Wells, a journalism junior, said, "It's great at a baseball game. I can't wait for baseball season. That's why the game of baseball was invented ? to have a place to chew. "Fishing ? now that's another good place to chew," he said.

The multi-level collection rises from a shelf to almost touch the ceiling. They have recently started another pyramid with the empty tobacco containers.
