No one I know knows that I snuff tobacco. Not because I’m embarrassed to say, but I just haven’t been bothered to engage in the conversation explaining why. How many of you out there are secret snuffers? I like it in a way as it’s the “thing I do” without anyone chipping in their thoughts.
nope out and open about the snuffing over here.

I never admit it. If anyone asks, I just tell them it’s cocaine.

The only place I’m a secret snuffer is at work as I work in a hospital that is tobacco free. Some of my coworkers know that I snuff, bok out as far as they know, I don’t snuff at work. At my other job people know that I snuff. I snuff openly out in public. It did take awhile to tell my wife. She is used to my eclectic hobbies and habits.

The two people at work that knew of my snuffing have left , so I guess it’s kinda secret that I snuff now. Funny thing though, I have snuffed right in front of people that didn’t even notice what the hell I was doing. So maybe I’m not a secret sniffer as much as a stealth sniffer

@jmahes, I’m right there with you. I’ve openny snuffed right in front of people, they either didn’t see it or they pretended to ignore the fact that I’m sniffing stuff up my nose. Not sure which one.

I’m a bit in the middle. Friends know (most of them) but my family doesn’t… My colleague’s at work know but I never sniff snuff in public.

Everyone knows at the office because I start waiting at the door like a puppy 1.5 weeks after I make my order. I don’t “tell” people, but I won’t hide it. I might pull out my tin at a bar or on the dinner table if I’m liking my drink.
I was waiting in the bathroom line at a bar on Saturday so I pulled some out. A hipster behind said he’d like to try it. I told him how to do it but he didn’t listen…took it like a rail straight up. I could see him holding back the tears.

I don’t telegraph it, but I don’t hide it either, and several folks know I use it. I don’t often snuff in public. It has gotten a few wierd looks at times, but that doesn’t phase me

I have to kind of hide it here in Aus, my family and close friends know that I snuff although at work I have to be very careful and go to the restroom like a coke head and snuff once an hour. If someone in management saw you do it at work or catch wind of you sniffing a mysterious powder here you’d probably be drug tested every other week. So since medicinal cannabis isn’t legal yet i’d be getting in trouble

I’m as open as can be about using snuff.
I snuff in front of the bosses, other employees, customers, and strangers while out and about. I snuff in bars, restaurants, during elevator rides, etc. It’s fun to snuff in an elevator while surrounded by strangers trying to pretend they don’t see me… hehe.

@moemojo. I do the same thing, except at work where tobacco use is prohibited on campus. In public, I’ll even look someone in the eye as I snuff to see what their reaction is. mostly they look around nervously and pretend they didn’t see me. A few have asked, and I’ve told them what it was. Most either don’t see me snuff, or think that I’m doing coke and pretend they don’t see me.
No I don’t do snuff in secret. Why would I ? I don’t make a spectacle while doing snuff but everyone I know even family has seen me use snuff. And the world has a good idea that I enjoy snuff. I offer it to smokers or anyone if I am getting a pinch for myself. It just a polite thing to do and it often starts a dialog. Snuff is a way of life.

I wouldn’t say so much secret I have my friends who sometimes partake or just accept it, but with family they think it’s “fucking weird and gross” as my sister put it. Just switched companies so I’ll give them all time to know me before I come out of the snuff closet at my workbench

@Benner Just the opposite I classify myself as a “terces” $nuffer! I do not hide what I like in l life.
I think common sense is required about using tobacco snuff in public.
I read a few years ago about a chap from England sitting with his family in a foreign airport, in hotter climes.
He openly whipped out his tin of snuff and indulged in a few pinches.
The security staff thought he was on some sort of drug and pounced on him.
Apparently it took some explaining that it was a relatively harmless tobacco product.
He could have really found himself in hot water in some less informed draconian countries.
