every 30 minutes whether I need it or not
Iād recommend not to, because I did all the time for a long time, and Iām not sure what it was, the amount, the types, or what, but I had to quit for a while, as I had constant congestion and it was not enjoyable at all. I took a long while off, and got a can of some scotch snuff, but am keeping the usage moderate.
I try to sneak in a couple, maybe three at work. Usually a couple at home too.
About 20 pinches a day for me. The best is when I wake up and snuff up first thing in the morning, really makes you feel fresh and takes away the grogginess when you have to be up early! Also when I get home from a long day I eat my tea and take a pinch then, makes you feel relaxed and refreshed after a day full of stress and work.
But to the point, yeah Iām sure itās fine to snuff up everyday, just remember to stop if you feel pain or irritation. Also remember to blow your nose regularly too, as what goes up must come down!
I snuff about 4-5 times a day, but I tend to do about three pinches per nostil when I do.
I snuff about 20 times a day but I am a beginner (4 months) and I am trying to perfect my technique so I try a lot of times but with small pinches.
I would love to use snuff on daily bases but itās like candy to me so i get bored with it and have to change to snus. Iāve taken like couple pinches in the last two weeks.
@dm_lasse I never tried snus but I read that it contains huge amounts of Nicotine.
It really is not easy for me to snuff at work because I am wearing gloves and moving around and sweating most of the time. So other than break and lunch I will be snusing. Evenings and weekends I snuff much more, never counted but 20-25 might be right. I too came to use the smokeless stuff as a route to quit smoking and have come to realize that this stuff is nowhere near as harsh mistress as cigarettes were. I donāt go batty if I forget my snuff or snus and the good smokeless is rarely in retail shops. Since I am still a newb at this I do many different snuffs during the day, so at some point I would actually try to stick with one for a day so I could actually see how much I am using.
@willc Your a better man than me. I would definitely go batty if I left my suff at home. No nicotine, no brain workie workie
@ItsMajick Thatās no lie.Ā I spend most of my day pouring over court proceedings and if I didnāt have something to relax me Iād probably find myself the subject of one of said proceedings lol!

Whenever I can!
I canāt really think of a time other than when Iām sleeping when I donāt have snuff in my nose.Ā And itās a toss up even THEN!
It doesnāt bother me unless Iām sick, then I might take a day or so off but Iām always anxious to start back up!
Not so much because I NEED MY NIC but because I love to take out my box, scoop up a spoon or a pinch, and feel that burn and taste/smell that beautiful aroma of fine tobacco and fragrance.
I savor it.

@Irish_Nick LOL. that made me spit out my tea
Willc reminds me of when I worked in kitchens. Snus definatily kept me sane. Interestingily I just checked out this link to say that the more consistentily I snuff through out the day the less it seems to irritate. And yes if I donāt have my snus or my snuff I get just as cranky and non-brain working then with cigs. It just seems to take a longer time to get there.
@bob I wished that I knew about snuff and snus when I worked in the food industry.
Just about everybody smoked and it can be quite a high pressure environment so the quick smoke is treasured by all who are able to fit one in.
I know I would get a bit moody and antsy towards end of shift without a bit of nic fix.
yeah itās why I started snusing. So I wouldnāt have to start nicing while working. Just too stressfull. The snus helped tremendousily.
I snuff occasionally at work, but have gone a whole day without if Iāve got lots to do, which I think is a good thing as it shows Iām doing it because I want to, not because my body is demanding some nicotine (Iāve never smoked). When Iām at home in the evening I enjoy trying out the various makes and types I have, and by now (almost 11 at night) Iām usually feeling mellow with the nic floating around my bloodstream. How many pinches will vary on mood, but Iāve never counted them.
My nose is better with snuff than without itā¦ Snuff is my non-medicinal decongestant!
20 to 40 times a day sounds about right for me too.
Iāve never countedā¦but lately Iāve been sliding open a box between 20 to 40 minutes (depending on what Iām doing), until I go to bed.
