How does one combat this as it worries me as to the amount of snuff I eat!
One spits it out.
that’s called “drip”, and it’s as desirable a component of snuff taking as burn is. Enjoy it. Some snuffs have a better drip than others. Blow out the ones that you don’t like the drip.
Why worry about ingesting a little vegetable matter? You are snorting the stuff!
desireable? Speak for yourself.
The age old problem of spit or swallow…there is no right or wrong, just do whatever makes the experience most pleasurable…and don’t any of you dare put that on the out of context quote thread.
Always have something to drink on hand.
@Harlequin hahaha!
Don’t waste it ! Recycle it. Spit it into a hot frying pan ,chop it up and snuff it again.Â

Some spit if nobody is watching, and swallow if they are. You can always spit into a tissue but make it look like you’re just wiping your nose. I prefer not to swallow the drip.
hmmm, cakeanddottle, I’m not sure if I have enjoyed any drip yet, but ill be sure to let you know if I do :D.
I think coffee is a good bet if I’m around any, but I suppose around polite company swallowing it is still the best bet.

Most of the snuff you take works its way down your throat into your stomach without you even noticing, its how your body keeps your nasal passages clean and free of debris.
I wondered about this myself, I know when using oral snuff (which I don’t do) that you are to spit, so is swallowing “the drip” bad? I always just thought of it as part of the experience and have gotten used to it.
Its bad if its irritating your throat. Some snuffs are very irritating and some you hardly notice. Swallowing it is probably not “good” but its only bad if it makes you queasy. Your stomach can tolerate a fair amount before it rebels, such as with a heavy juice tobacco like dip. Generally I spit it out, but I’ll swallow it if it would be impolite to spit in certain given circumstances. Pre-emptive nose blowing can reduce the need to do either.
Cough it up, either on the ground or in a tissue. I remember coughing it into a tissue while I was walking by a group and a girl making noises of disgust. Chuckle.
It is a benefit… Tasty!!!
Increases chances of cancer… pancreatic maybe, idk
I mainly use snuff for it’s decongestant purposes anyway. This is a GOOD thing – for me, it means that I am clearing all of that crap out of my sinuses!
Dispose of it the same way that you would dispose of any other phlem or postnasal drip.
(Some spit it out, others swallow it – it’s all a matter of personal preference.)
If I can discretely do so, I prefer to get all of that crap out of my system completely. (That’s one of the things that big snuff bandanas are for.)
