Conversion

How many of you have converted your friends to the joys of snuff? One of my friends has gotten very into it, and three others take it with us when we’re all hanging out. I’m very proud of this friend, he’s been taking Bruton as his all-day snuff. He suffers from frequent headaches and snuff cures them very well. He also ordered a good quarter pound of snuff from mistersnuff.

Got a couple of pals to have some at least now and then. One just told me he’s been getting into the Aniseed Extra I gave him. Kinda makes me happy…

I have one main friend that is as passionate about snuff as me. Many many friends that will use it while we are hanging out, more as just a party favor.

I’ve converted a couple of people to snuff at another forum I use, but that’s it.

One coworker will occasionally take a pinch. Other than that, just my wife.

Keep up the good work folk’s!

I’m trying. I’ve got one friend who will take a pinch of some sort he hasn’t tried yet, but he’s some kind of multitoxing drug user and probably would try the toilet cleaner if I could convince him it’s worth it. One friend who doesn’t want to try it again, although he liked it due to fear of getting addicted and two others to whom I gave some Kralingse Macuba (perfect beginner snuff, I think), they liked it very much and as they both smoke heavily already I have no concern to shove it down their nostril in a slightly more focused way to establish this option in their brains :stuck_out_tongue: It would be really great to find people in my neighbourhood who’d regularly share a pinch with me (and would also share the shipping costs of my next snuffstore order :wink: ) I think my mother and father would like it too, I could already think of the perfect snuffs for each of them, but they both stopped smoking some time ago and thus I’m a bit reluctant to offer them any. Snuff taking really has disappeared from the public view here, a few decades ago it must have been quiet different. I’m actually wondering who’s buying all the Gletscherprise, since the shops regularly get their stands refilled however I never see anybody in public taking it.

I have turn people on but I am done. They want my snuff but won’t put the effort to get their own. I don’t mind sharing; hell I give it away it is not expensive ,I just don’t like feeling that I am being taken.

I introduced a dear friend to pipes, then recently to snuff. Our preferences are somewhat different, which is great because he enjoys snuff I would have trashed. Looks like he’s about to get a couple tins of 6 Photo Special.

I’ve never smoked, and a lad at my work who is a non-smoker saw me snuffing, so I offered him some, which he enjoyed (although he initially took it so far back he got that nerve behind his eye twanging). I brought my tin of WoS Cherry Menthol in (I’m not keen on menthol, it’s a good few years old) and he loved it, and has now adopted it. He liked McC’s Hopfen and Dean Swifts Camelopard. Going to try him with Aniseed Extra next. I did ask him if he wanted to add a tin or two to my last order but he wasn’t ready yet. The reason I mentioned smokers is that they seem to be most resisitant to the idea of nasal snuff. They look at me with horror in their eyes, and say something like “You sniff it up your nose? Wierd!” Yep, like setting fire to tobacco filled with chemicals to keep it alight and breathing the smoke into your lungs is a good idea, huh…

One person. A non smoker to boot.

@HR_pufnsnuff: Noticed that too, and I think in the past I’ve been a bit like that myself, believing it would feel more or less like sniffing an ashtray or smoking a cigarette through your nose. It’s probably just the familiarity, I’ve heard of native south americans who snort tobacco decoctions or blow the smoke into their lower exits which are both methods that sound really strange and extreme to me (they probably are, considererd the effects this is supposed to have). I also think a cigarette smoker doesn’t really believe you can enjoy tobacco in any other ways than just have it deliver a nicotine fix very fast and if you did you’d have to feel guilty about it because tobacco is generally evil.

I’ve had smokers and dippers declare snuff disgusting. I just shake my head and smile. Disgusting as apposed to that bottle of spit you carry around like a security blanket.

I’ve heard of native south americans who …blow the smoke into their lower exits which are both methods that sound really strange and extreme to me.

Strange and extreme indeed, not to mention socially unacceptable in the late and unlamented phenomena of ‘the smoking room’. :))

At least it would provide interesting social oportunities if this form would become more common: instead of asking for fire you ask for assistance. That would provide so much room for smalltalk and getting to know each other.

Yeah the one friend who’s really into snuff isn’t even a smoker, he’ll smoke a cigarette a couple of times a year but he’s started snuffing a good 10+ times a day.

I was a smoker (30 years) and I converted me to using snuff only. It was actually hash that led to me smoking in the first place. In my mind I still feel like a smoker prisoner but I’m hoping that will eventually fade but really I probably won’t ever be free. I will always have those memories of enjoying a smoke and in those 30 years there were at least a few times that I did enjoy it. On balance though I know that I am not some-one who can smoke occasionally or else I would probably still do it. I think it is quite common that very heavy smokers quit suddenly. I was a pretty standard 20 a day fool but on occasion this could almost double. I think snuff just might be my saviour. Nothing else has worked. I think I’ve always been an addict as both parents smoked a lot when I was young. I can see already with my cycling that my lungs are working better and providing more oxygen to my muscles. My father died of lung cancer and my mother of lung fibrosis so probably both down to smoking.
