Should you only do so when a spitoon is provided or when outdoors?

Spitting in public is never polite, just swallow.

When is a spitoon ever provided, partner?! In the house, go to the bathroom. Outdoors, take a walk to the bushes where no one can see you. :) You're funny.

Well since you have an aversion to saying spit maybe you're high falluting, in which case, i wouldnt spit in public in the company of royalty, in an ivy league school, or infront of snooty elders. However when slumming it with normal society, spitting isnt a big deal as long as it's in grass/gravel/pavement and not at someone. Who has spitoons?

Why not spit it into a tissue? Then you can dispose of it neatly, with little chance of passing on the infection to others. Spitting it out anywhere else is socially unacceptable.

Hold a tissue in front of your mouth and wipe the **** out of your mouth, fold up the tissue and dispose of it properly.

Act like your wiping your mouth with a napkin and fold it right in there.

Into a tissue which is then quickly disposed of and as quietly as possible.
