First of all, ask HIM what he means by his statement, “I am not a typical black man.” 😯 Ask him why he said it — what is trying to tell you about himself?
Second, tobacco is a drug, and if he’s chewing tobacco regularly, he’s probably addicted to it. It’s hard to go cold turkey and quit an addiction, so you might want to encourage him to get some help. In the meantime, get him a lot of chewing gum so he can chew gum instead of tobacco!
