Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cincinnati Medical News, 1883, Vol. 16 When tobacco is chewed we have first the local action upon the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx. A certain amount is absorbed by the mucous structures and brought in direct contact with the capillaries of the circulatory system, and peripheral filaments of certain nerves. The capillaries absorb a portion of the solution that has been formed. Then we have a combined effect from that which has been taken into the circulation and a direct irritation to a portion of the nervous system.
