It’s funny, I will have smokers come up to me and ask me if they can bum a cigarette, I tell them I don’t smoke cigarettes but that I have some snuff if they want a hit. They always shake their heads and say “no way.” I think its strange because if they are having that bad of a nicotine fit you think they’d be all over it. One guy was even Native American and he sad “no that’s to harsh,” I thought it was funny because “they” invented snuff! Ha-ha. Anyone else run in to this with smokers? I like a good cigar occasionally, but hate cigaretts.

this thread title confused me a little, i was expecting it to be x rated

Doesn’t surprise me in the least bit. Not to sound insulting, however, the majority of cig smokers that I have met tend to be close minded. Most do not even want to venture beyond their preferred brand. I use to smoke cigs, but I never stuck to one brand or even one form of tobacco. I guess you could say that myself and the rest of the former cigarette smokers ( and the few who still indulge) are statistical outliers.

Do they think it’s dip snuff you’re offering or nasal snuff? Perfect opportunity to educate, or tell them they can have a tab if they take some snuff and if they like it give them the snuff and keep the tab.

Most of the time here in the U.S. we call dip chew. But I could clarify, usually I point to my nose of do a little sniff.

Is it just me or is everyone else from the UK sniggering like a schoolboy at the title of this thread…? ;))

I too always thought it strange when I encountered the person who wouldn’t smoke anything but their brand. When I smoked I liked to try out all kinds of different smokes. I guess most people don’t like to try new things and are set in their ways cause I have also offered people snuff when they try to bum a smoke and usually they decline and act as if I offered them something of an alien world.

Back in the day when I was school, cigs could be hard to get, I remember me and a friend trying to get some, but nobody had any, we ended up with some original oliver twist and snus though. If ya need nicotine, you take anything…at least we did.

I take anything but, chew. From what I hear American chew is horrible compared to others or, snus, or both.

This is the best title for a thread in ages. =))

Is bumming a reference to anal sex? As an American I have no clue what you Brits are laughing about.

I was right! I win! Also found out fanny can be another word for vagina. Odd.

Bumming fags Ha-ha.

I was right! I win! Also found out fanny can be another word for vagina. Odd.

Don’t worry at least no one has mentioned spotted dick until now.

Faggots and peas, with a bottle of dog followed by spotted dick, then nipping outside for a quick fag. No wonder Americans are glad they keep us miles away from them on a little island …

Faggots are disgusting! To me,many form of offal is disgusting. Bottle of dog is good, very good, should be a tab if you’re sticking with the Geordie theme rather than a fag, confuse the Americans even further

Can’t believe I forgot good old wife beater.

What people are saying about the british is true. I found out when a chap asked me if he minded if he bummed a cigarette. I felt it was a waste of a smoke frankly.

That’s why if you’re in Briton you don’t ask for a napkin. Who wants to wipe their face with a poopie diaper?

true. And the one that still I struggle with is pants.

You do ask for a napkin here. I think you’re confusing it with nappy. What you don’t ask for is a ‘serviette’, not because it’s rude, it just isn’t the done thing.

What a bummer! Translation: unfortunate incident I can see the reasoning in that one.

Bumming fags is normal in Ireland&Britain, like shagging, wanking and eating faggots. We do it all the time. Back to topic, I’ve offered snuff when asked for a smoke and usually it’s accepted and most people actually know how to take snuff. Learned from their moms and nans.

Nasal snuff is not very common in the states these days. Even though it started here.

pretty sure it didnt start in the states. south america maybe, but not the US.

Ya I’m pretty sure it started in South America

Sorry, I couldn’t help it - the rest of the thread made me do it! :)) When I snuff in public I don’t hide it, as I have nothing to be ashamed about, and only enlightenment to bring. I did a charity gig the other day with my band, and afterward, when packing away my gear I took a pinch, and one of the other musicians said “is that snuff?!”, and remarked he didn’t realise it was still around. He and the other guys from his ban gathered round and had a sniff of the various tins I had on me (I’d narrowed it down to only four or five, that’s good for my indecisive nature) but they couldn’t be persuaded to try any, as they said they had ‘all recently given up smoking’. I reckon they were still suffering from the after effects of whatever chemical it is that manufacturers put in cigarettes to narrow the mind against the possibilities of this non-combustive form of tobacco.

Yes most people just seem to think you are a weirdo if you use snuff and if they try it maybe they will be infected with weirdness disease. Maybe they have a point judging by us lot? Some-one said to me the other day “Oh where did you get that?, I didn’t think you could get that anymore”. “Why do you take that?”. “What does it do?”. “My God he’s on The Snuff!”. I suppose if they haven’t seen it in a TV advert during one of their mind numbing junk TV shows then it doesn’t exist so basically maybe scared. Fear of the unknown. The youth seem more aware/interested in these “legal highs”. Just watching a show about that now. I don’t think personally I would like to dabble with those.

Interesting the youths seem more accepting of snuff then the older people where I live. Most of those youths haven’t done any “legal drugs”. Also I could be considered a youth. Most of the older people think it’s more dangerous then meth and, wont even smell it. Most of mine smell wonderful damn it!

Yes, I think it was Brazil, I meant the Americas. Not just the states. I should have said America, but I was trying to sound like a Brit since that has been the change on the topic of this post.

Do only bums bum fags? which could be called a bumbum fag and if a fag bumed a fag would it then be a… well you get the idea. Honestly I’m UK/Ireland and I hate that expression, how did it ever come about? never use it, never hear anyone saying it and if anyone ever said it to me I’d want rid of them pretty quick. When I smoked I would have said cig for short or maybe fag but when I think about it, it’s totally stupid. Got to say the Americans have it right on this occasion.

I dislike the word bumming. I thought it implied I’d get you back one day. One day never comes!

Santo Domingo is on the island of Hispanola which is in North America. “Faggot” is an archaic term for sticks bundled together specifically for burning.

thank goodness e-cigs are not e-fags and you don’t bum them either. yet another reason I’m glad I quit smoking.

A stranger hit me up for a cig again today and when I offered him some snuff he took me up on it. He’d never had nasel snuff before and I think he really liked it. It was a blend I had on me… 2 parts Toque Rustica, 2 parts SG Kendal Brown Plain, 1 part SG Black Coffee, & 1 part F&T Old Paris. That’s been my favorite all day as of late.

Not much different from people with “Will Work For Food” signs. When you offer them food they get their undies in a bunch and act offended. That’s when I tell them to (fill in the blank) off.

@chefdaniel‌ I have had a similar experience with a tramp who was begging a few weeks ago, I bought him a coffee and sandwich, all I got back was abuse and why didn’t I give him the money! My guess is he probably wanted it to buy more smack with but, hey oh, my good deed for the month is done.

Amazing rofl

some people you just can’t reach

From a narrow minded smokers point of view, I wouldn’t accept snuff from a random person. Mainly because I don’t trust anybody I don’t know and there’s no real way for a person who isn’t used to seeing snuff to know it isn’t mixed with something else. Just my point of view

@Cigshurtmylungs, similarly, someone who offers you a cigarette may have adulterated the tobacco with weed. It doesn’t seem to happen much, in my experience.

I’d rather accidentally smoke marijuana then accidentally snort heroin. Lol I’ve never took a free cig anyway

I have never seen anyone in my long life offer anyone a cigarette adulterated with marijuana. But that said, I’ve also never had anyone accept a pinch of snuff from me. I have offered a pinch many times, to many people, and tried to discuss with them that this snuff is, you know, " SG Black Rappee", or " this is from India man, it smells awesome, try it!" It never works. All the people I meet or know think snuff is disgusting. Especially when at home on the farm, I do a big “farmer’s blow”, and eject a big snuff booger onto the ground. Funny thing, my goats love snuff! My nanny goat, Esmerelda, will come up to me, and I’ll place a big pinch on her nose and lips. She sneezes, then actually seems to enjoy it! Her favorite snuff is vintage(1970’s) Levi Garrett!

Deer in Russia seek out magic mushrooms so I’ve read. Us mammals like our natural highs it seems.
