@bolbam420 I have no had any major nasal slash sinus allergy issues since taking up snuff. Before snuff I had some serious allergy issues.

@ar47 You bet!

@bob Interesting to note. The above advertisement however does not mention whether the said product is made of tobacco or not. Maybe that was understood, I dont know. I am from the eastern part of India and there snuff is known as gul, when it is used as a dentifrice. Seen quite a few of my aunts using it, after having a meal. Never seen or heard of people inhaling gul. However you also have **Chhinkni **which is used to deal with sinus allergies, common cold, etc. But this product is a herbal snuff, with no tobacco. The most popular form of tobacco in these parts is khaini I believe.

haha that CokeSnuff! I remeber seeing it at Zelick’s on Linclon Rd Miami Beach back in the mid-80’s. Was vintage back then. The caricature is funny wtf is with these dudes? I’m sure it smelled good, but can’t vouch for the quality of the tobacco. I was only 15 back then was more interested in L-S-D than fake snuff. Although I had already tried Dr Rumney’s menhto-lyptus. That was nice!

An interesting little discussion about said snuff. According to the late Basement Shaman, coke snuff didn’t even contain any tobacco.

I think that coke snuff sometimes was tobacco and sometimes sugar.

  Some probably do, but, if you read the link i put up basement shaman said the coke snuff he got didn’t have tobacco. Probably sugar like @bob mentioned.

@bolbam420 Here’s a link to the US patent for ozonizing tobacco. Available as a PDF. If it’s the same as the advert it was a method to sterilize tobacco. https://patents.google.com/patent/US1757477A/en
