Just wanted to share my experience with snuff in the last 14 months, and I am not sure if this was discussed earlier in the forum. Basically, I also wanted to understand that whether my findings or interest in snuff is pure snuff psychosis or do you any of you feel similar to what I do about it. Yes, snuff is a wonderful product with fragrances and nicotine; but it more to me than just that.
I began snuff primarily since I read somewhere that it was used to treat migraines (I think I saw a video on youtube in which the seller states so). I am a guy who suffered from migraines and sinus issues since years and did not find any respite in the treatments. I then procured some snuff available locally (which was not that great ? but was a great introduction) and began using it while finding out more through this forum. In just a few days, even with little usage I found that my migraines were less intense or absent. I then also used snuff to quit smoking. Hence, for me, snuff began as a journey to lessen pain, get rid of common colds and quit smoking.
These days I snuff everyday, and I snuff everywhere (work, home, travel). I am also a person who has anxiety and panic issues due to work, and have a tendency to get low or upset very soon if things are not working well at work (which is usually the case). I would not say snuff has resolved that issue, but has certainly helped as a distraction.
Also, I am person who finds that snuff finds a sweet place in my life and gets me through the day when things seem hard, confusing or just depressing in general. The interest in just storing snuff in my cupboard, or having several tins open now knowing I can take a pinch anytime is exciting in itself for me and does fill up some dark abyss which cloud my mind (failed relationships, the pursuit of meaning of my existence, etc).
Hence, overall, snuff is good for me. It has been the rope to hang on to when there is no hope, a sweet distraction when life is rough and a remedy for some physical pain.
What is snuff to you? Is it just the enjoyment and/or the nicotine, or is it something more (however minute or large). Please do share! Thanks.
