Chewing tobacco and snuff are often called spitting tobacco because they increase saliva production. When users chew tobacco or use snuff, the tobacco stimulates saliva production, and because the tobacco isn't swallowed, users often spit out the excess saliva mixed with tobacco juice. Thus, the term "spitting tobacco" is commonly used to describe these forms of smokeless tobacco.
