Hi everyone, while taking a sniff of Tom Buck this morning, I got a sharp pain to the side of my head near my eye. It’s happened once before. Is this just bad technique or dangerous and has anyone else done this? Thanks for your help.

Bad technique.

So its not dangerous?

Maybe if you’re driving Bad technique with some TB can be pretty painful, because it’s got that sharp BERGAMOT out the wazoo

No idea if it is dangerous since that is a bit of a vague term. You are probably pulling it in too hard.

Yes, it is quite powerful - love it though. Just one of those odd times where I must’ve snorted too hard - it was my first of the day…didn’t realise it could hit you near the eye…still learning! Found some good tips on here today about sniffing like “you’re smelling whats for dinner” ie; more gently.

@cstokes4 I meant dangerous as in the sharp pain near the eye…but its gone now

Thanks guys

I doubt it is dangerous. Get a neti pot, I’m sure you have some snuff deep in your sinus’.

maybe if you do it all the time.

Yeah I get that sometimes when I snuff Bruton, and it’s just because of bad technique, in time you’ll get better.

I like it when it gets in the ear canals!

@Juxtaposer lol

Thanks for all the responses, guys…helps a lot. ;o)

it could mean you are hitting the upper sinus. I know cause I aim for it daily … if your cheek, eyeball and scalp are not on fire then you are doing it wrong Only benefit is faster absorption of nic. Not clear if its dangerous. Probably beats smoking but who knows.

Ah, right
