If you put them in the freezer, make sure they are freeze solid.

I put some in the freezer once to kill them so I could rig them. I took them out when they were stiff and stuck a rigging needle up their vents and pulled dacron out their mouth - outside on the picnic table during the summer. They came back to life before I could finish with the head hooks - par-frozen was not enough.

Freezer seems like a better idea or even the salt. I'd stay away from scenting them with any tobacco product. That just seems counter productive.

How do your legs feel today Mike?

Domination takes full concentration..

Hmmm first lesson I learned on a lobster boat... I smoke... God can still hear the voice echoing in my head..." DONT YOU EFFIN SMOKE THEM EFFIN THINGS WHILE YOUR DOING THE BAIT BOY.... THEY CAN SMELL THE S*(T ON THE BAIT......" So I dont think you want to throw some Skoal or Cope in there bad call... Think scent has more to do with things then people realize... Just my two cents...

As far as the tobacco thing goes, people used to say that, but I spit tobacco juice on every eel I throw out there and the fish seem to like it. Who knows.
