Hi there fellow nosefillers!! I have noticed one Great Thing since I started snuffin’ my mind away and that is that I never get any colds anymore as I frequently (very often) got before starting to vacuum snuff up my snout! Does anyone of You members have noticed the same effect? I would be happy to hear Your expieriences of this amazing thing!
have you been smoking before?
@Viertel - I quit smoking 18 years ago with the help of swedish snus but it wasn’t until I started with snuff 2,5 years ago that I noticed with great pleasure that my colds were gone. And there is no difference if I use mentholated snuffs or others. It seems to me that snuff keeps the bugs away, ha ha! :D/ And I don’t have to snuff much either but that varies from time to time - sometimes I’m like a lunatic with the ‘powder’ and else I go easier on the tins…
i get ill with cold less too. it doesnt completely protect me, but it has definitely reduced my instances.
well, that’s interesting. i wish i have less colds. i’m ill quite often.
I have not had one sinus infection since taking up snuff. I got at least one a year before that.
The general consensus does seem to be that tobacco kills bacteria…
This could actually be the long sought for Cure for colds as I see it! And it would turn Hundreds of millions of people into decent snuffusers as we guys! Not bad @bob and @Mario84 and @Firestarter0 or what do You all think? -‘Don’t want a cold - snuff a whole heap of tobacco powder’!
@Viertel! Try having some serious SnuffMarathons with all kinds of snuff (especially strong ones and big heaps) and blow Your nose frequently to kill’em bugs for good I tell You! Make them never want to come visit Your nose again!!! =)) I want You to get cured!
I’ve just have had a cold, and just coming through the other side now. I’ve felt run down and had the aches, but hardly any head symptoms. None of the congestion and thick vile snot normally associated, except maybe twice, first thing in a morning. I’ve been using non-mentholated snuff

@50ft_trad- interesting…so Your cold was a bit easier than usually then? Could it be a climate issue or something else that affects us differently when it comes to snuff and colds? I live in Svealand here in Sweden and we do have extremely lots of both colds and influensas here generally but none of them seems to hit me anymore…and it all depends on my snuffing habit- there is no other explanation as I can see. :)>-
@Nuuska Yes, the cold was much easier. In fact if it wasn’t for the fact I knew my neighbour had a real heavy cold, and the couple of brief snotty moments, I might have even attributed the tiredness and aches to something else and not thought I had a cold at all. It’s like I had the virus, but without the predominant symptoms. Actually … I only very recently was able to use toasts. Maybe that’s related … a very minor congestion perhaps :-? I’ll need to try them again when I’ve fully shook this bug off
Nice. Snus for illness, an excellent idea! Raises glass for Sweden! Skål! Lets just hope, however snuff is recognised, that it still stays relatively cheap and prescription free! @50ft_trad , so what works best during illness for you? Toast?
Not sure really, I wouldn’t consider myself experienced enough in snuffing with colds to comment - other than to say I have never had any problem getting Berwick Brown up my nose, and I’ve been snuffing a fair bit of that recently My comments on toast was due to the fact I can’t normally take them - but recently I could, so I wasn’t sure if the cold actually made it easier for me to use a finer ground (rather than preventing me use anything else). Hope that makes sense
I am sensitive to mishandled food other than that I haven’t been sick over 30 years. Let’s keep this on the down low if BIG PHARMA finds out all tobacco products will be band. Tobacco = long life
@basement_shaman - You’re totally right! Those fuckers have already banned the Benevolant Herb because they want to keep the patents on their damned expensive chemicals!! By the way - @basement_shaman…are You a Native American? I’m just curious because I have got that impresssion of the way You use english? And how did You choose Your alias name? I don’t want to be ‘nosey’ - I’m just curious as I mentioned…Hookah hey! Nuuska.

@Nuuska, I have SnuffMarathons every evening - while I’m reading, writing, watching… but I have never noticed it would help. That’s great snuff helps you, but i want this too!
Late last year and early this year I felt colds starting up on two separate occasions. The first time I was checking out some Toque Christmas Pudding that I had recently received - delightful snuff by the way - and the early symptoms just disappeared. As a result when I felt another cold arriving some weeks later I reached for the same snuff and - the same result!!! I think I did post about it on here as I was so amazed. I am, unfortunately, quite old enough to know my body and the initial symptoms of colds, and how they progress, so I don’t think it was false alarms. The next time I get the symptoms I will immediately reach for the Christmas Pudding and see what happens.
@Viertel - I feel deep symphathy with You trying to cope with Your colds…have You tried 6 Photo Super Chetak? That’s a snuff that surely blows any fuckin’ cold away or J&H Wilson’s Medicated No.99? Or even a couple of really Big Heaps of Dholakia White from the back of Your hand? I wish You luck because I know what a pain in the ass colds can be…Good luck trying my fellow Snuffer!
@chris! That’s the spirit!! Just snuff the fucking colds away with whatever label You prefer as long as it has some ‘juice’ in it! I’m glad that You shared Your expierience to us all here on this Great Forum!
