An improved pocket cuspidor is provided which preferably includes a cooperating three component system. The first component is a mouthpiece provided with a disposable waterproof flexible bag releasably secured thereto. The first component is arranged within the second component which is a first waterproof container. The second component and the first component carried thereby, in turn, are arranged within the third component, which is a second waterproof container preferably conforming in size and shape to the pocket of a garment worn by the user of the cuspidor. A cover including a stopper for the mouthpiece opening, is provided which is hingedly attached to the first container and is releasably secured to the second container when the stopper is in liquid sealing engagement with the mouthpiece opening. In another variant of the invention, the aforementioned mouthpiece and flexible bag may be eliminated to thereby provide a two component cuspidor system including the aforementioned first and second containers. In still another variant, a cuspidor is provided which includes the mouthpiece and the disposable flexible bag without the aforementioned first and second containers.
