I am snuff only snuffer. I used to be a pipe and cigarette smoker. After I quit for a couple of months I really missed tobacco and knew that I would go back, so I tried an old tin of snuff I had and instantly knew I had found the answer for me.
I started smoking when I was around 14. Quit when my first kid came along at 29. I’m now 34, don’t smoke but got into snuff about a month ago.
I am an exclusive snuff user. I did try a pipe ( my husband bought me a lovely churchwarden) but I absolutely prefer snuff.
I used to smoke a pipe (or several really) but stopped because of my young children, I couldn’t be bothered to go outside to smoke.
If I ever smoked a pipe I’d only ever smoke outside, leaning languidly against the wall in my three-piece suit, raising my trilby in a suave, chap-like manner to all the lovely ladies as they walk past - “well, helllooo”. Oh, I say. I’ve never smoked, mum always let us have a try of her ciggie if we wanted, which put us all off, but I’ve loved snuff since I tried it as a teenager. Keep forgetting about it and coming back to it, into it big time at the moment.
I’m a snuff only guy, gave up cigarettes about five months ago and started using snuff about a month ago to make sure i didn’t go back to them. So far, so good!
Working on it After smoking a pack a day for 20 years, I quit the death sticks in March of last year to devote myself full time to pipes, cigars and snuff. The more I snuffed though, the less I smoked, and it’s gotten to the point where I don’t smoke (bowl or cigar) more than 2-3 times per week.
I am now but not through any good intentions. I kicked cigarettes and decided I would have the odd pipe or cigar but the longer I use snuff as the main tobacco in my life the rarer my other usage is. I am a born to smoke, dyed in the wool tobacco lover with a very high tolerance to nicotine and an addictive personality so no one was more surprised than me but as soon as my snuff habit edged up to 10g a day - as it was always going to - I stopped smoking. Quite weird not thinking about smoking actually. I think you enjoy the flavour a lot more than when it’s smoked as I still chew and dip on occasion, but I could happily kick that, I just have a load of cope in the freezer.
I’d be happy to use snuff only but I like snus as well. I quit 25 years of smoking with snus and came to snuff shortly after that. I think I’ll be using both together for some time. I’ve sworn off lighting tobacco on fire but some of the pipe smokers on this forum are tempting me lol! :-?
I was a smoker for 25 years, cut down considerably about 4 years ago with the aid of snuff, and stopped completely with snus 3 years ago. I have a couple of e-cigs that I use sometimes but apart from the very odd cigar I don’t burn my tobacco any more. Have thought about a pipe, but I don’t think I’m going there just yet. Smokeless rules!
@toffeenose, nice to see you back around. You were missed.
Hi @bigmick! Thanks for the welcome, I missed you guys too.
Snuff all the time at home or friends houses. Snus at work and while I am out in public. One day I will transition to snuff only, work shouldn’t be to hard. I need to get a tiny mirror to carry around so I can check my nose so I wont be walking around with brown hanging out.
I start school tomorrow and it’s a ‘tobacco free campus’ well I found out that means I could get a fine walking around campus taking a pinch. Rediculous!
I only tend to smoke cigs when I’m drinking and I want to try snus real bad.
I started to smoke cigarettes for the kick with not quite 14. Gauloises bleu, no Filter. Within a year or so, I was up to 40 to 50 tubes a day and kept this up until age 32 when I quit. I started snuff with about 16, for the fun and ritual of it and have been snuffing ever since. Four to five pinches a day max, extensive periods (years) overseas with no snuff at all. The two things seem not to have the slightest thing to do with each other. Ah, yes, I am now 58 and do not intend to quit snuff. As little as my second lifelong infatuation, chinese tea. The two are a perfect match. As for my third habit, obsession or whatever, please allow me to remain silent. With my respects, I remain Patrick B. Ludwig
I use only snuff…nothing can be compared with it…I used to smoke cigs ages ago…then pipe…but snuff rules…It is pure pleasure…no harm…very personal and intimate…
i only snuff for 4 years. Before that i smoked many years. Hokka, pipe and maras (made of nicotiana rustica used like snus) took my time for an other many years. God bless now i only snuff.
Only snuff and snus for me. I don’t do smoke.
I am almost ready to join this group
Glad to hear that, @MattheFox
