Do you Snuff in Public?

Hi,

     Just a general question, I tried searching but came up with nothing. 

 

Do you guys Snuff in Public, or do you normally go to a bathroom or an area where not many people are?

It depends on the situation ( family knows I snuff but complains when I do), but usually I do it in the open. Once you get the hang of pinching it’s easy to do without drawing much attention…For family situations I will find a private place usually, but snuffing in the bathroom reminds me of school.

Yes, whenever the urge takes me. The most I get from people is mild curiosity but on the whole I don’t think people notice. I live in London though and I am guessing you are in the U.S.

Well how do you expect to educate the world about the wonders of snuff if you don’t do it in public?

I’ve been snuffing in public for the last 40 years. No intention of stopping now!

Yes I do. Especially in cafes, a nice relaxing cuppa and some snuff. Perfect.

If I really want a pinch and I’m in public I try to do it without being obnoxious.  I’m tired of having the 'what’s that" convo.  If I knew it might drive them to try it I wouldn’t mind, but most people just turn their noses up at me as they take a pull from their cigarette (I love the ewwww convo though, because then I can say “you’re SMOKING A CIG and you think I’M GROSS?”)

I take a pinch in public as often as I would take a pinch in private.  I also relish the looks and conversations that it provokes.  I have a pretty good record for getting people to try it, even if they initially think it’s appalling.  I’m trying to spread the gospel!

In public yes. I recently switched to a bullet for public use. Its funny when I pull out the glass jar with the spoon attached to the top and use that one its quite funny to hear what kind of illegal drugs they think I’m doing at first but I have to quickly explain its tobacco

@transistor  I tend to agree with you.  I’m in the Army and took up Snuffing shortly before deploying to Afghanistan.  Most of the guys in my unit have seen me do it and I’ve converted a few already.  I’m only asking the question for when I redeploy to the normal world.  I don’t plan on stopping but probably will try to be somewhat descreet about it.

Thanks for your service man
Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much- I’m 29 and I snuff in public sometimes and it’s really not that big of a deal.  Sometimes people do ask though, so I usually tell them.  Just get used to people not knowing what you’re doing though lol

Some people will just think you’re crazy.

Which can be a good thing. People tend to leave crazy people alone.

Snuff away…I usually place my days collection on the table in front of me (at least 4-5 varieties), and just snuff away as normal. I don’t care what people think…as long as your not too self-conscious of what your doing probably nobody will even notice…and if they do, well you’ve got an audience to convert!!

Of course. Anywhere bar the inside of a church or during mass - I discovered it was instant excommunication, but fine in every other circumstance. I make a point of taking a pinch before doing anything. I’ve even taken snuff at formal dinners. :slight_smile:

Taking a pinch in public can be a great conversation starter and a great way to make new friends.  Never be timid.
