The laws vary from State to State on spitting in public,in some States it is illegal to spit in public areas such as sidewalks,around entryways to businesses and/or public buildings ect... Some States even have laws against the use of a spit cup for tobacco chewers in resturants,public buildings,businesses ect..

There are also the city/town/county ordinances that can vary from area to area concerning spitting in public...The vast majority people who break such laws are not arrested they are given a citation that includes a (fine) much like a seatbelt violation....

Yes. However, it's an infraction, and you proabaly won't get arrested, but you may be fined for "expectorating in public." Be on the safe side and just don't do it.
