Because she is apparenly part monkey, my 2 year old daughter climbed up the shelf and grabbed my little bottle of Dragun and opened it. I had just went to go to the bathroom when this happened. I come back and there is a small pile on the table and she’s taking pinches of it! I gotta say, I was kind of impressed because she was taking it like a champ with barely a cough, lol. She saw me, giggled, and ran away. I’m just glad that it’s so compacted in the little bottle that she only dumped out what I had stirred up. Also I now keep my snuff on not of the fridge. Just though I’d share.

*top of the fridge. Mobile doesn’t have an edit button apparently.

The little rascal ,She must had been a snuff head in a previous life. Better safe then sorry!

all kids are 76% monkey.

Sounds like you have been setting a good example.

AND she has great taste!!!

I have been afraid my son would do that. I just keep mine in a cigar box on the floor next to the bed but he always wants to smell all the different kinds. He’s almost as excited as me when an order comes in. He turns 7 on the 26th and I told him that these are not to touch. I think its about time to move the stash tho

And WOW sounds like she did take it like a champ. I was counting on the fact that if my kid did try some it would burn and make him cough so I doubt he would sneak anything after that.

Yeah, given her age she like to play copycat. It’s really funny thought to see her walk around with a lego “snuffbox” and take pretend pinches, hehe.

@Harlequin you must be so proud.

Quite a kid! I’ll keep a kilo aside for when she’s 18. I found a still lit pipe in an ashtray ,at a family party when I was 6, and sat there smoking it, quite happily as I remember, until the nicotine hit me and I keeled over. Never put me off pipe smoking so your daughter will probably be a snuff taker. Hopefully it will be the accepted way of taking tobacco by then:)

I started using tobacco products around age 9 despite parental discouragement. A pouch of Bull Durham RYO was $0.07. Ready mades were $0.25 I had my mind made up & no one could discourage me. Even the time I got sick from it didn’t stop me. I no longer use cigarettes, but still enjoy the other available products.

My grandfather was a Dutch immigrant, and his family you started smoking a pipe very early. I was about 6 when he got me a little corncob pipe, showed me how to fill it with tobacco, and how to light it with a match. He was so damn proud. The family made sure that never happened again, but it was a really neat thing to experience as a kid with my grandfather.

Tell her Santa Claus knows she’s been naughty

@snuffster I’m sure she’ll appreciate it, lol As for everyone else , good to know there’s a place for my two year old to be encouraged in her tobacco habit lmao

My daughter has always loved smelling my snuff. Acording to her, Royal George smells like Grandmothers horse.

Royal George smells like Grandmothers horse.

Somehow I don’t think I’d like Grandmas Horse up my nose! [-(

Grandfathers how cool ! my Grandfather was my source untill he died in 1981.

That’s it I am going to go and order Dragun now. I have been putting it off as I am a snuff newbie (7-8 months) and wondered whether it may be too much for me, but I have been put to shame by a two year old, so will stop dragging my heels and will go & order some. :"> * wanders off to the MrSnuff site *

My oldest son dug his grandmothers cigarettes out of her coat and almost had one lit when we found him. The youngest emptied my tin of sp100 on the floor after it had fallen from my pockets whilst wrestling. He was simply curious abd as the snuff rained down he went red and said “im sorry daddy i spilled your nose powder all over grandads carpet!”

I am with @LadySnuff. I must get some dragun. If a two year old can take the chili in it then I can too.

These are all good stories

One of my earliest childhood memories was the wonder of smelling my grandpa’s pipes and humidor or pouch of tobacco. Somehwere lost in an old family photo album is a photo of me at age 3, wearing my Grandpa’s hat with one of his pipes held jauntily between my teeth. And who says kids learn to use tobacco from the adults around them? Poppycock.

Actually, the scent of snuffs would be a magical thing for any child, and it’s not surprising that they want to smell each new, exotic powder that Mommy or Daddy gets in the mail.

Not wanting to get preachy here, but I believe that children have gotten very sick from taking tobacco. Please store your stash responsibly.

I will do the preaching then. Exposure to nicotine may be addictive. The younger you are when exposed the more addicted you may become. Yes, surely there are many other factors involved such as amounts and frequencies but the point is that age is also a factor that should not be neglected.

As funny as this situation was, you are both right of course. This is why I moved my snuff to a more inaccessable location. Reminds me of a story about my grandfather and mother as a child. He chewed plugs. One day my mother when she was small snuck one out of his dresser and took a nice big bite. Needless to say she never did that again, lol.

These stories are wonderful. I’m not trying to contradict anyone, but kids will be kids, they are gonna monkey around and steal your snuff once their curiosity reaches a certain point. Chances are they will get the snuff in their throat and cough up a storm, refusing to ever try that stuff again. It is still somthing you shouldn’t allow them to try until they are of legal age.

It’s all about balance in your outlook. Fact kids are highily sensitive and influnceable (is that a real word?) you can mess them up good. The other side is that kids are kids they’re going to get into trouble no matter how hard you try to stop it, they’re more intelligent then they seem, they’re extremeily tough in certain ways. You owe them your best shot but at the same time they’re kids they need some freedom to make some mistake and for you to make some mistakes too cause that’s unavoidable. I’am saying kids are actualy pretty complicated and if you don’t do anything horrible to them and give it your best shot they’ll probably turn out o.k… Though I’am never having kids cause I’am afraid they’ll be like I was. Totaly sweet, kind, and utterly insane and psychotically into pyromania. I think I now know why my parents are insane. When I was a toddler I used to do things like run down any railings on steps that were wide enough for my feet (it wasn’t till I was six that I got a healthy fear of heights), and I had a nose for were people hide their matches (and the idea of unreachable = challenge for fun). So cheers enjoy your kids take care of them and just be glad they’re not like I was.

Oh the nostalgia
