Is it to quit smoking? Dipping? Chewing or just because you enjoy it. I’ll be honest I am on my very first tin and would really like to just use snuff as a means of quitting smoking. BUT it is quick unlike cigs/dip/chew. You can’t pop out for a snuff like you can with a smoke or dip/chew. My first tin is Wilsons of Sharrow and I have been w/o a cig for like 5 days. That is with the e-cig, dip and chew lol. Thank you.
I started snuffing because I like “unusual” things, I quit (more like reduced amount of cigs smoked from 20-30 per day to maybe a pack a month) just as a nice side-effect of the snuff. Keep it up Whizzie, your lungs will thank you!
I use snuff tobacco because I’m a damn gentleman.

because I’m a tobacco connoisseur… that’s tobacco dependent. I love the different aromas and the re-freshness pick me up qualities. And oh yea the vitamin N. And I also love the history of snuff and all the things that go with snuff.
“I use snuff tobacco because I’m a damn gentleman.” lol good answer!
WhiZZie, I snuff because I’m mad about tobacco. The taste, the effects, packaging, history, stories behind the products and companies, everything! But I really came to dislike cigarettes in my life. The staggering expense, the stench, the “factory-made” nature of them, and, above all the effect they were having on my health as time went on. I’ve given up giving up cigarettes, with all the misery and frustration. I just filled up my life with good tobacco: snuff, pipe tobacco, and snus. Cigarettes are just “blah” to me now. I hope it’ll work like that for you too.
I snuff to keep from smoking. Snus does a good job of maintaining the nic level I’ve become dependent on, but it is boring. Snuff though, well it’s just a flat out delight. Scents, flavors, nicotine, meditative habits…
I first tried it just out of curiosity, then about a year later, I decided to quit smoking and used snuff to help with the nicotine cravings. Now I do it because its a great product with plenty of variety and a rather awesome community.
I started using snuff because of the EU introduced ban on smoking in covered public places and workplaces. I refuse to stand outside struggling to keep my pipe alight whilst being gaped at by cretins. I have discovered the best way for me to take snuff is to take a deep preparatory breath, and then take short, shallow insufflations allowing the snuff to enter the nostrils but no further. One thing you most emphatically not do is to cover one nostril and take deep snorts - this will cause the snuff to invade the sinuses, hit the back of your throat and blow the top of your head off - tears and snot everywhere! Why do I take it? because it is a pleasurable, smoke-free and civilised means of absorbing nicotine without bothering anybody else.
I snuff because I love the smells, the tastes, the history, the elegance, how gentlemanly it is, the idea of a man with discerning taste pulling out his silver snuff box, dressed in fine tailoring, taking a pinch. That idea is wondrous!
@Snuffin, you’ve said it all!!! All I can add is: Amen
I was offered some, took a pinch and fell in love. Also cures my post nasal drip as a bonus.
I just like it for the variety of it I suppose.
Imma have to get me a snuff box. Way cool. Thanx for sharing all and good luck!
makes my brain feel good. Makes things smell nicer. And it’s fun
i dont have to bother going outside for a smoke, my clothes dont stink of smoke anymore, it keeps me calm in stressfull situations, as i drive on motorways a lot of the time at work, it keeps me focused and above all else its enjoyable.
To make the world smell precisely as I want it to
I snuff because otherwise I am always running out of tobacco.
It was pure curiosity for me. Now it’s just a hobby. I’m a snuser at the end of the day but that did bring me to snuff. I could probably live on it but my schnoz is too sensitive, I believe. I like the scents. I like that it’s different. I like that people have no clue what you are doing most of the time. I don’t rely on it for nicotine, but more of an aromatherapy. I just plain like it.
I use snuff to cure my nicotine addiction. (if I only had this amazonian mambo jambo snake oil powder…dangit)
