I’m new to using snuff and smoke cigarettes as well as smoke pipe tobacco. Does any one else do this lol?
I still smoke cigarettes although I’m down to 5 or so a day
I work construction it’s a lot easier to light a cigarette than it is to snuff. When I use snuff when I get home it has cut down my smoking though.
Smoking can damage the cilia which do help make snuffing a more pleasurable experience.
cigarettes in slaved me for 40 years. I smoke pipes while working now. My lungs feel better I stop inhaling cigarettes. I use snuff all day at work also it is easy to get a dose faster then I can sharpen my carpenters pencil . And I can carve the point fast.
it will definatily increase your chances of getting snuff in the bronchi. As Juxtaposer said it kills cillia which are the hairs protecting your lungs and breathing passages. The smokers cough is caused by the lack of cilia. Because everything that goes down that way needs to come up and coughing is the only way if you don’t have cilia. My recomendation is smoke cheap cigars you don’t inhale.
Ya that’s easier said than done. I have been smoking cigs for 11 Years. It’s hard to get the nicotine my body needs just from snuff.
I gave up a 30 year habit with just snuff but if you feel you need more nicotine, get some snus too. Something like Oden’s Extreme and you’ll never need another cig again.
Thanks for the advice I’ll look into that
I still smoke cigarettes once in a blue moon at parties. Can’t really see how smoking cigarettes while snuffing would be more harmful than smoking cigarettes alone. I know what you mean about smoking at work, it’s hard to give up those breaks. But you can still take those breaks, you’re entitled to 10 or 15 minutes every 2 hours IIRC under US labor law, you don’t have to be smoking while on that break you can just hang out with the smokers and take some snuff.
Ya that’s true
I still smoke roll-ups and take snuff but I smoke about a third of what I used to before snuff. I have snus too for playing golf and when I’m somewhere I can’t smoke. I’m gradually cutting down the smokes but it ain’t easy, I smoke Van Nelle Zware Shag and I love the stuff (It’s Dutch tobacco and they call it ‘de weduwe’, meaning the widower, but seeing as I’m not married and have no kids I don’t really give a hoot). I’m finding as the weeks go by I’m getting more and more of a nicotine hit from the snuff and just seem to forget about fags for an hour or so. I was introduced to snuff with the intention of cutting down the fags though, not give them up entirely. I was a very heavy smoker prior to snuff.
I still smoke cigarettes like I said before, very much reduced. With Snuff I now have 2 things I didn’t have before. The first is the true belief that I could quit smoking, every time I would try to quit before this, I really believed deep down that I would never do it, I mainly thought of it as an agonizing break for my lungs until I started again. The other thing and this is big, before snuff all my idle moments were either smoking or thinking about smoking. I no longer have that Gorilla on my back, and I don’t feel this with Snuff, I enjoy taking it, but if I’m not I’m not counting the seconds until I can again. There are occasions, Just curious anyone ever take snuff in Church, just asking.

Yea, right in the middle of one of those big rousing choruses I whip out my No.22 and take a huge pinch. Unfortunately I then start coughing like I’m possessed and the whole place suddenly goes silent and everyone turns and just stares at me. A bit embarrassing.
I’ve taken snuff in church plenty of times. Last I checked there isn’t a commandment prohibiting it.
The 11th Commandment broke off, they were inscribed on stone. Holy Moses, did you share some with the pastor? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ }>>>>>> BTW…WELCOME @anthonyJ… I see your in Canada and may have a tough time getting a snuff with a high nicotine content… What kinda snuff you doing?
Welcome @AnthonyJ! And welcome @Shezzuk1! I still smoke RYOs, and have cut down to about 2 to 4 a day. Snuff, e-cigs, pipe tobacco and snus have been great in keeping the edge off. But I still like the sensation of warm smoke…that’s tough to get rid of. Occasionally I’ll smoke a cigarette with snuff in my nose or snus with snuff.
Thanks @TobaccyLassy, just had my Sunday dinner followed by a triple Lavazza espresso, a big thick Van Nelle and heaps of Toque Chocolate… Life’s good
In this part of the world cigarettes are referred to as The Evil Weed and today I could almost do with one. I think I’m having a bad snuff day and I don’t have anything else so will just have to get through but at least I’m still off The Evil Weed.
Interesting you mentioned taking snuff in church. I found this article a while back. Not sure if it was posted here before or not. ENJOY http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/1762/in\_the\_habit\_a\_history\_of\_catholicism\_and\_tobacco.aspx
