Nasal snuff is a new activity for me.I started smoking at 17,in 2018. From that moment until relatively recently ,i smoked,vaped or used heated tabacco most of the time. With all of those producs, i inhaled the aerosol deep into my lungs. But some two years ago,2021, i started disliking smoking and so began my journey of quitting. I went into a cycle of “quitting” for one week,then smoking for a few days,and repeat. That was the situation in the new year eve 2023, i wanted to quit,badly. I did a lot of personal research on tabacco related subjects,in order to figure out a way to quit.One cold winter evening,i stumbled on a wiki article about tabacco and it’s methods of administration and found it, Nasal Snuff. “Nasal tabacco,wth?”, I thought to myself.On further reading and watching on the subject,i concluded that nasal snuff is maybe the safest way of using baccy,but it isn’t the same as pulmonary smoking,maybe closer to pipe smoking.I went to my local tabaconist and got one tin of lowenprise. I wasn’t smoking for 5 days when i got my tin,and after doing some snuff,i felt it.This time it was different.The sensation of “loss” of tabacco wasn’t there and the mental craving of cigs,slightly diminished. I used snuff for 3 weeks straight ,and never smoked cigs again.Now I have a small collection of snuffs,all german, which i plan to extend.Nasal snuff is wonderfull! I will still smoke a pipe or cigar once in a very long while,but i don’t inhale,like it should be done!

Interesting to read your story. Glad you got off vaping.
Yes, nasal snuff is certainly the safest way of enjoying tobacco.
I prefer the English snuffs, especially Fribourg & Treyer and Wilson’s. Such a range.
I enjoy cigars and pipes too.
Happy snuffing!

I would really like to try some more snuffs,but right now i have like 300g of product and i use it in a “slow” manner,like 1-2 g’s per day,in the days i sniff all day long.Most days,i use it in the morning and some days I don’t use it at all.Soo it’s hard to justify an expansion of the snuff stash.
Nasal snuff can be very economical for this reason! I remember that I used to smoke 10-15 long cigs per day(10-15 g). That’s a big change for me.

That’s interesting Steven. I’m a heavy snuff taker using about 15 gr or 1/2 oz a day. I love tobacco and the nicotine stimulates my libido.
Cheers

Damn, that’s a lot of snuff, I’m usually good for 1-2gms a day. And if it stimulates certain urges I hope you don’t wear out your partner too much!

That’s interesting. Nicotine decreases the Testosterone to Estrogen conversion,which is a normal phenomenon in both sexes. Bad for women ( it can agravate hormonal problems) but kinda good for men.
I also find that I am , let’s say,more aroused being around my girlfriend, while i use snuff.
There are some erotic ways to use snuff with your partner, take that as a bonus :))

First tried Samuel Gawith (Poschl) Apricot – now called “original” when I was 17 or 18. I used to dip so this nasal snuff thing is a nice change of nicotine pace again in my early 30’s.

I have been sniffing this wonderful stuff around 5 or 6 years. Started after watching Uncle Squinty videos and man I fell in love with this form of tobacco. ATM I have a giant collection and it will only get bigger.

When I was 18 I had graduated high school in the US and took year off to live with a friend in Germany’s Black Forrest and attend Gymnasium. It didn’t count for anything academically, but I became proficient in the language and went on to study German at my college in the States afterward. That was '96. I’ve been back a few times and still maintain some friendships. The Black Forrest was the first place I saw snuff and was offered it to try. I don’t even remember which blends I tried, definitely Poshl and Bernard, though. I smoked cigarettes off and on at the time. I remember thinking that the type of person that took snuff in southern Germany was fairly analogous to the cowboys that dipped where I grew up in Texas. Rough country boys with an attitude about it. “I don’t care if my spit cup (or I guess soggy, brown moustache over there) grosses you out. I’ll do what I want where I want.”
It didn’t stick as a habit or hobby, but I’ve had a relationship with tobacco since my Dad started letting me smoke his pipe at about 15. Later I was done with cigarettes, and I wouldn’t touch one now, but cigars and pipes are a completely different thing in my experience, and not something I feel like I need to cut out with the frequency I smoke. I don’t like feeling dependent on anything to the point that I suffer when I have to do without.
Having been introduced to nasal snuff as a teenager, I probably only picked up a random, small tin here or there from a local tobacconist until about 8-10 years ago when I wanted something to use at the office. My coworkers were going through constant drama with office decisions about whether to allow vaping in the building or not, or how far away from the entrances cigarette smokers were allowed to stand. Nobody ever made a single comment about me taking snuff at my desk. Aside from cigarettes I think dark fired, sugary or otherwise treated, American oral tobacco products, while enjoyable, are probably the worst tobacco related health risk available in my part of the world. Snuff is the clear choice.
Also I recently purchased a small farm of 20 acres with a lot of shop space, so I’m starting to get more serious about experimenting with my own blends and possibly growing some tobacco in the next few years. This is my real reason for joining SH recently, though I’ve come here for reviews and information for a while.
Sorry if this is bumping an old thread, but it looks like the previous posts were pretty spaced out, so maybe this is appropriate.

Hello! Thank you very much for your great answer!) This is very interesting. I absolutely agree with you! I don’t like feeling dependent either. I stopped using cigarettes and only used tobacco for my nose. From time to time I will allow myself to smoke cigars and a pipe, but this will only be in the summer or spring. It’s cold now 
Good Morning!)

Off and on, I’ve been using snuff for 30 or so years. My first snuffs were from Smiths and I used to love visiting their shop when I was in London. I took a break when my kids were very young but I’m back in the harness now. I find I’m loving the plainer snuffs these days; Samuel Gawith KB Original is a real favourite.

I’ve been snuffing since around 2007-2008. Started as an accoutrement to snus and pipes…which I used to quit smoking cigarettes, but snuff fully took over around 2016.
