This one is saying “In conclusion, chronic consumption of powdered tobacco diet decreases pain sensation. If this result is extrapolated to humans, long term consumption of tobacco diet may be beneficial in the control and management of pain in humans. Further research is however recommended to confirm if powdered tobacco (snuff) can be used as a pain killer.”

I have actually a very bad neck pain, I took SWS Latakia Blend and it does decrease the pain a little bit or maybe it’s just a placebo effect but that is what I feel. Maybe it’s because I’m an occasional snuffer so it does a high relaxing feeling as compared as If I was snuffing all day every day.

pain is a complex set of conditions. But if you feel less pain then you’re in less pain. What’s interesting in the study is it sounds like it’s a long term effect more then a short term one.
