ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Police in Kazakhstan say they plan to ban a popular and mildly narcotic form of tobacco made from chicken droppings as part of a drive to improve health standards. Officials said Thursday that though the concoction, known as nasvai, does not contain any illegal substances, it can cause cancer and various infections. Police said that nasvai is often made of a mixture of tobacco, lime and the droppings of chickens and other birds and animals. Nasvai is sold as a powder or as tiny black balls and is applied between the bottom lip and gums, from where it slowly spreads throughout the mouth. i dont think i will be trying this …
We used chicken droppings and honey to make our moustaches grow. The chicken droppings were placed inside the upper lip to push the beard. Honey was applied on the outer upper lip because it pulled the beard. So by pushing and pulling the beard you ended up with a nice, bushy moustache. Myth or truth?
WTF! I want to try this!!!
Navsai is a popular tobacco product in Oswaldtwistle, near Burnley in Lancashire. They just love it.

Wow. That is completely vile. What is supposed to be the purpose of the chicken droppings (chemically) - or is it just for the flavor? Or is it a way for the Kazakhs to clean up their chicken coops? Oh, I just thought about it again - so vile.
The chicken poop is in there for sheer pleasure. I recommend running down to the closest chicken farm so that you can try this yourself.
Still infinitely less nasty than traditional factory made cigarettes.
Why is the word narcotic so misued. I’ve never taken any tobacco product and then felt an increased urge to sleep or to trance out. Guessing the chicken dropings are a binder.
Give me a cig any day over chicken crap.
@bob: I’m guessing that’s because in so many different places narcotics is used synonymously with drugs. When the police drug task force is referred to as the narcotics unit, and news media uses the term in the same manner, people just don’t bother looking it up to see what it really means.
I know and it’s really bothersome to me for some reason. I think for one I hate the way it’s become such a charged word and the way that being a charged word really makes it into a boogeyman word.
It may well have some narcotic effect if those chickens eat poppies, which grow abundantly in the region.
I’ve inhale what you’d call ‘second -hand chicken dust’ when I worked with chickens for 22 years and never felt high . (Although, thinking back…, I must have been high to work there that long) I guess it was more of a mix of dander and manure dust, pretty toxic actually and too ‘hot’ for using straight as fertilizer. Let a fryer shit in your eye, and you’ll see what I mean. Definitely nothing I’d put in my nose on purpose.
I suspect more likely that it’s acting as a pH modifier, that freebases more nicotine. Lime is apparently a common ingredient of chicken feed, based on a 2.3 second google of ‘pH of chicken manure’. I don’t suspect that the chicken poop alone has many (other?) benefits. 
I’ll add that I still wouldn’t care for it up my nose.
