Spitting is the act of forcibly ejecting saliva or other substances from the mouth. In Europe and North America, the action of spitting has become popular and "cool" among many children and teenagers as a sign of contempt or frustration at society in general, or (more commonly) higher powers such as the law.

Spitting upon another person, especially onto their face, is a universal sign of anger, hatred or contempt. It is possible to transmit infectious diseases in this way.

In London, transport workers who deal with the public have recently been given equipment to collect saliva when they are spat upon by irate passengers. The police can then analyse the DNA of the offender.

In much of China, spitting in public has traditionally been widely tolerated, although attitudes are changing
Many people in the world spits for different reasons. But, nowadays it is medically proven that spitting is a bad habit. Atypical pneumonia can be spread by respiratory droplets. Atypical pneumonia is a pneumonia that does not respond to the usual antibiotic treatment, therefore making this pneumonia rather severe. Another disease which can be transmitted by spitting , is tuberculosis.
