4. There are two main types of smokeless tobacco: chew tobacco and snuff.

Explanation

Explanation: You can get chewing tobacco in forms called loose leaf, plug or twist. Users of smokeless tobacco usually put the product between their gums and their
cheek. They suck on the tobacco and then spit the juices. For this reason, smokeless
tobacco is sometimes called spit tobacco or chew tobacco.

Snuff is used the same way, and is a finely ground tobacco that can be dry, moist or in the form of sachets like tea bags.
