Chewing tobacco and snuff are often called "spitting tobacco" primarily because they increase saliva production. When users chew tobacco or use snuff, the body produces more saliva in response to the irritants and the physical presence of the tobacco in the mouth. As a result, users often need to spit out the excess saliva, which is why these products are commonly referred to as spitting tobacco.
