The topic idea I currently have for this "How smokeless tobacco was culminated and how it affected the lives of American colonists before and after the American Revolution." I chose this topic because I realized how little smokeless tobacco is referenced in American history even though a significant number of people in the US have used smokeless tobacco for a very long time. Dipping tobacco specifically is also a uniquely American activity with the only other places having similar activities is on the Arabian peninsula where people enjoy Khat and in Sweden where people enjoy snus which is when the tobacco is placed inside pouches that make packing lips easier. I may decide to change my topic if sufficient information is not found on the topic of smokeless tobacco prior to the American Revolution and right after the American Revolution.
