Hi all ! I’m Steve from Poole 36 , I have just quit smokes using snuff for 8 days now . I’m new to snuff and I have two questions I would like to ask ! The first is …is it easy to overdose on nicotine using snuff if so how much snuff would cause me to overdose say using toque vanilla ??? The second is how much snuff per pinch on avarage do you guys use as I don’t think I’m getting enough nicotine and I don’t want to use to much per pinch ??? I used to smoke 20 a day !!! Now none . But if anyone could help me with the above it would really help me . Thank you .
Hi Steveo, well done on quitting. It would be nigh on impossible to overdose on nicotine with snuff; your sinuses would simply close down before you got anywhere near an overdose. I don’t have any figures (there probably are none in any case) on what amount of snuff you would need to OD but it would have to be several ounces at a sitting. Of course you need to ask what is an OD - being ill or fatal? To kill yourself you would probably have to soak a lot of it in water and drink it. I snuff all day long and don’t get anywhere near unwell. Getting used to snuff as a replacement for the smokes takes a while but is completely achieveable (Im an ex 2 packs of marlboro red a day smoker) A rule of thumb would be 2 pea sized pinches equal one cig. But the nicotine hit comes on a tad slower but you just get used to that. Take a pinch wnever you crave a smoke and eventually the craving will be for snuff. I find that using a strong snuff like Dholakia white from a bullet gives a very cigarette like buzz though. I use probably a good sized snuff box a day, about the equivalent of a small J and H Wilsons can. Hope you enjoy the site…
@Steveo, as far as I’m concerned, you cannot overdose on nicotine using snuff. Your nose will be blocked long before you are overdosed. As for the size of a pinch, use as much as you are comfortable with. I use smaller pinches but 2 or 3 in a row. As for quiting cigarettes, just remember you are a puff away from a packet a day. One draw on a cigarette and you will be lost. On the other hand, if you do take another ciggie, don’t kill yourself. Give yourself some time and keep on snuffing. In the end you will succeed. Have you tried snus yet? Snuff and snus together will make it easier for you to kick the habit. Edit: I was typing at the same time as snuffster! And there you have it, great minds think alike!!
Hi Steve From my own experience I have never been able to OD on snuff (except Indian oral snuff), I use 2 large pinches each time and will do so 4 or 5 times an hour, if you need a bigger nicotine hit try Toque “Quit”, congratulations on quitting cigarettes and welcome to the world of Snuff Regards Graham
I don’t think there is a proper amount of snuff to take. Whatever works is the proper pinch. If a pinch doesn’t scratch the itch take another. I personaly find taking a few small pinches untill I feel saited seems to work idealy for me.
Yep, if you are comfortable you’re not doing it wrong.
Thanks to everyone you were all very helpful and very quick in replying , and I have to add I’m finding that the world of snuff is most helpful and welcoming to us newbies … It’s great to finally have the answers I wanted as google was very conflicting !!! . I smoked malb red and although I’m not wanting one as such I’m just a moody bugger somtimes and on edge due to not enough nicotine ! Hi to all and thank you again for your help and advice . My world of snuff has only just begun and I can’t wait to try more and I feel better now I have the answers above 
Oh do I blow as and when I feel like it ? I mean is it ok not to blow all the time ??? I’m getting as sore nose from blowing ?
Your nose will tell you when you need to blow. I blow mine at least twice a month!!
Haha now that just made me laugh
Yeah just like before you used snuff blow when it feels like it needs it.
Some things you can’t be told…
