| The average age of initiation for "spit" or smokeless tobacco is age 9; 67% of a |
| sample began at age 12 or younger, and 28% were 5 years old or younger when they |
| first tried it. The highest spit tobacco use rates are in Native Americans, where female |
| use rates sometimes equal males. |
