No. Gambling activity refers to the actual time gambling takes place. In the case of an exempt raffle, the gambling activity is when the actual winning tickets are drawn. An exempt organization may sell tickets in advance of the raffle date as long as the tickets are in compliance with statute and rule.
In my opinion this tobacco producing region, along with Cuban and Nicaraguan tobaccos, are the best in the world for chewing and cigar making. As for moist snuff, now I use only snus, from Scandinavian countries.
Smokeless tobacco is also called spit tobacco, chewing tobacco, chew, chaw, dip, plug, and probably a few other things. It comes in two forms: snuff and chewing tobacco. Snuff is a fine-grain tobacco that often comes in teabag-like pouches; users pinch or dip it between their lower lip and gum. Chewing tobacco comes in shredded, twisted, or bricked tobacco leaves; users put it between their cheek and gum.
