Redman is a chewing tobacco brand that Randy talks about in a video centered on his own history with chewing tobacco. He says he first chewed tobacco in 1986, tried Red Man after Beach-Nut, preferred it because it had no stems, and later stopped using tobacco altogether.
Randy's view
Randy presents Red Man as the tobacco he settled on after trying Beach-Nut, but he also says he would not chew it now. His objections are the price and the brand's renaming, which he treats as a kind of surrender to political correctness.
Advice on tobacco
He ends by urging viewers not to chew tobacco, dip snuff, or smoke cigarettes, saying tobacco can rot teeth and cause mouth cancer. That warning is about tobacco use generally rather than Red Man alone, but it frames the product inside a larger anti-tobacco message.
