Smokeless tobacco comes in a number of forms.

Dry snuff is sniffed up the nose or applied to the inside of the mouth.
Moist snuff is also known as "dipping tobacco" in America, and is placed between the lip and the gums. Swedish moist snuff, snus, is used in a similar way, but here the tobacco has been mixed with water and salt and then heated or steamed before packaging, whereas the American variety is fire-cured.
Chewing tobacco is the use of smokeless tobacco where the tobacco leaves are chewed and then spit out. Various forms of chewing tobacco are used in America, India and Africa.
