Let me start by saying, I am not a health nut and I do think Nasal Snuff is generally safe especially when compared to other forms of tobacco. It is also generally established that there are aside from tobacco chemicals and naturally occurring substances that cause or contribute to cancer and other disease. So my question is, as consumers of nasal snuff should we not want to know what we are putting in our nose. I know tobacco is the main ingredient in most snuffs and flavors are added. But are some snuffs mixed with other things and if so, should we not ask what those things are? I have read there have been cases of snuff causing cancer when mixed with other substances. I am not trying to call out manufactures but for example, my favorite Dholakia White: Is it pure tobacco? I would sure like to know what I am putting in my nose. There has also been a recent influx of Chinese snuffs on the US mail order sites. Maybe I am a little biased but in the US, China has had a tough road here with lead, chemicals, etc. in products being sold in the US. To sum up, I would really like to see ingredients listed (Coke does it, even though the recipe is a secret). Some manufactures (Roderick) have stated that pure tobacco and natural (not chemical) flavors are the ingredients and that is acceptable to me. I am not looking for trade secrets, I just want to know if my tobacco is mixed with something other than tobacco. What do you think? Do we have a right as paying consumers to know what we are putting in our bodies?
Do you have a ārightā to know whats in it? I suppose thats covered by the law in the country where its made. Personally I couldnāt care less - if its one I like I tend to trust it and with companies like Toque and WoS its safe to assume they know what they are doing.
Right does not necessarily equal law. I personally think if we are spending money to buy a product to consume, we, as consumers, have a right to know what is in it. Thank you Roderick, although I already knew that just from using your product! I agree that I am not concerned about Toque and WOS, some of the other companies, especially from places where standards are not as strict, are the ones I would be most curious about.
Dude, lifeās a risk. You kind of have to get over it - unless youāre american than you can ask all the questions you want. In the meantime I donāt want my snuff tins having ingredients labels like bottles of diet cokes.
Gotta agree with Jack on this one.
I like the way Jaap Bes does it. On his web site he lists whats in each of his snuffs so if you care you can go there and look. That also helps you decide if you would like a particular snuff.
Iām glad diet coke has to list its ingredients. Hence, I know that it contains aspartame. Knowing this, I choose not to put it in my body. (as if the taste wasnāt enough to keep me away)
No disrespect, but we are adult tobacco users, just enjoy. I agree we have a moral right as consumers I just mean donāt let it spoil your enjoyment.
There is a certain amount that is proprietary to the manufacturer. Even on things like Coca Cola it list things like āNatural and Artificial Flavoringā but that doesnāt mean they have to tell you what that flavoring is.
Some of the stuff Iāve put in my body over the last 25 years makes snuff look like a candy bar, so I couldnāt care less whatās in it. Thankfully itās only snuff going in me now and, Iām happy about that! 
I also am rather a purist, as probably many of you are. I just hope to be avoiding ingesting much in the way of chemical additives in snuff, smoke, food and drink, but itās not always convenient to do so. And also agree that sometimes itās worth the risk if you really like something. Maybe I didnāt make any new points hereā¦ O.K. I guess I have one legitimate question here, what about the menthol? I assume it is still naturally sourced from peppermint or cornmint. Or camphor, is it still natural camphor- or the cheap synthetic stuff used in some products these days?
Toque menthol is 100% natural menthol and, Ozona President can have what it likes in it I donāt care if it is chemicals or not? (i guess not) i love it!
Watch the film on the Poschl site, it states that all the flavouring is natural āethereal oilsā. I donāt know the regs around snuff production, but I doubt there is anything untowards in any European or US snuffs.
Why donāt we know what the laws are? Iām sure they are there.
Iāve got to say, I donāt think itās unreasonable to want to know what youāre putting in your body. I donāt think yimes is being a āākilljoyāā in that wish. Besides, Iām sure that snuff manufacturers are all above board, just like Roderick and Jaap and have nothing to hide. Right?
Iād like to know what is in snuffs. Iāam happy as is however. Though the more you know about what you put in your body the better. Iāam somewhat of a health nut and definatly limit my intact of lots of things. I would definatly disappointing to find out that certain things I avoid in foods are in snuff. Though in foods I worry about natural flavors more then artifical flavors (they can actualy put worse things in food under natural flavors then they can with artifical flavors.)
cheapish cigars have a label on the side saying these cigars are predominantly natural tobacco with non tobacco ingredients added whats in those ?
