that you can drop a cigarette and pick it up… but drop your snuff, you’re out of luck. also, the moments of embarrassment in public that come when you to like successively take enormous pinches.
I would have to say the biggest danger is addiction. Nicotine spikes can be very powerful with effective snuff use. Learning withdrawal symptoms can help even further with effectiveness. You can get on the train and not get off till it crashes! Other dangers would be unexpected reactions from ingredients in snuffs such as different tobacco types, molds, oils, strong herbals, etc. Exposure to children under eighteen can be the best way to perpetuate the future snuff culture! This I think is a negative as well.
Not since I started dressing entirely in black. The biggest negative is: PEER REACTION!

The only negative I can think of is RUNNING OUT!

The addiction factor doesn’t bother me with snuff. There are times when I become so engrossed with what I am doing that I forget to snuff or snus and I don’t have that maniacal crappy feeling that cigs gave me. I am the same way with coffee too, I like to drink it but I sometimes miss a day with no ill effects.
I am trying to figure out if its the snuff. I am on for while and off for a while snuffer but at times when I’m on I’m on until I get distracted and stop for a few months. But even when I’m off I’d snuff a few times here and there on a week end or when in the mood. Example: I found this red bull. I couldn’t let go of it. But it took three months to finish two 7g packets. I have a feeling that snuff at times is playing with my nerves system. I feel like my stomach gets iregular. Like constipation etc. Dose this make sense? Is it to much nicotine?

Too much nicotine tends to have the exact opposite effect.

While nicotine, or anything for that matter effects everyone differently, as @crullers noted- it does tend to loosen things up a bit. As for your nervous system- yes, too much nicotine can give you jitters and the like. Individual consumption rates are just that- individual. Some may use +10g a day while others just take a small pinch after a meal. Don’t measure yourself against anyone else. If you are comfortable with how much or how often you choose to use snuff, then you should be fine. The same should be said about the types, scents and brands of snuff you choose to use. What one person loathes may be your favorite- who is to say either one is “right” ? While I too had many of the same questions and dare I say trepidations when I rediscovered snuff, I found that after reading hundreds of questions and very cogent responses- the decision to use snuff is one I made. I find absolutely no negative consequences to using snuff. Is there possible health concern? absolutely, but I am ok with that. Are there social consequences? absolutely, but that too I am ok with. Just like anything else (drinking, gambling, chasing the opposite sex, driving fast or whatever makes you feel good) it is you who needs to gauge how much, how often and if by chance there is a negative to doing it, if you will continue or moderate it.
Well I’ve done my first snuff yesterday felt like pepper and I enjoyed it. I have to admit though I sniffed a very tiny amount but had a ton of boogers plop out. However I’m still getting over cigs so as of right now it’s the only minus and it may improve the farther I get from cigs and improve my technique. Made the mistake of not buying nasal spray first too
What did you take?

As you will learn- your nose will go through changes and phases. At least that’s what happens/happened with me and from reading other members posts- them too. I only used nasal spray at first and just to clear things out at the end of the day. Now I just splash a bit of water up there and give a good blow, or load up on Hedges L260 right before a hot shower. When I was a fairly regular smoker I went through cycles of sorts- I could smoke all day without issue, while other days I would only have a few and feel dreadful with heavy lungs and a cough.

Wilsons natural.

How long ago did you quit, Cigs? I am on day 22 and I feel great. I am, admittedly, using the patch and some F&T snuffs and I am managing remarkably well. It isn’t the nicotine I am missing it’s the habit. Like morning cig with coffee, cig while driving, cig with a beer. It helps that I am almost completely removed from all smokers and I don’t have to deal with people smoking around me.
None of us would recommend sniffing very tiny amounts! Who here would disagree?
Yeah, you gotta pack your beak with the snuff sweet treat. Lol
For all the snot, I suggest two methods: A neti pot (the bigger, the better!) http://www.neilmed.com/usa/netipot.php A NeilMed Sinus Rinse bottle. http://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinusrinse\_isotonic.php Either one can be used to flush out your nose and sinuses. The neti pot is dependent on gravity, the rinse bottle gives you a pressurized flow controlled by how hard you squeeze the bottle. Equalize the pH level of your tap water with a bit of sea salt.

Not long at all because I just " relapsed " on cigs Got a pack of newports on my lap
The only negative I have found when it comes to snuff is that when I use it, I run out and have to buy more… damn.
Another negative is running out of clean hankies! Which means wasting detergent to wash them…which means buying more detergent. And the cheap shit doesn’t clean very well. So you gotta pay premium prices for shit like Tide…ugh.
When you think you found the one you finally like even better than the one you used up until now. And then you run out of it. And try something else and now you have another favorite. I’m just wondering about what I read on here m from a few of you that “you only do a few grams a day” im wondering what a few grams is? Poschl is only 7g and as much as I think I’m using it takes me alooooong time to finish one. So or a pinch is hardly anything even if I take 20 a day or some of you eat it?
