Always loved old fashioned things and then when I was desperate to end a 30 a day 30 year habit snuff worked like magic as NRT. Im now three years into life as a non smoker purely through substituting snuff. Im a heavy snuff user now but happy with that - I was born to use nicotine and have no intention of giving it up. Snuff for pleasure, addiction, the beauty of the snuff box and the way that you can use it anywhere without feeling like a leper. My advice to new snuffers is get a nice snuff box; it makes the pleasure complete.
What Snufster said except the 3years part. I’m still a newbie.
Because of the simple pleasures it provides me.
Because nothing beats a great pinch of your favorite snuff(s) IMHO
Partly the scents, partly that it keeps my post nasal drip under control.
Gotta agree on the nicotine hit being instant with snuff. I use snuff and snus to keep away from the cigs. I do enjoy a pipe or cigar depending on the evening though. Anyway I like to joke that snuff helps keep the homicide rate in my locality down. Ken
Because when I don’t I get really angery and feel violent as well as my head starts to feel really fuzzy and I can’t focus on much of anything. It keeps me from feeling like everything in the world is analogous to the ole nails on the chalkboard. It’s also very enjoyable and cigarettes suck. Really I don’t understand how you could want a smoke when you’ve discovered snuff.
A little over a year and a half, and I have grown to think it’s just a part of me. Not so much because “I’m a damn gentleman” (post #3) ok, maybe.
Hmmmm… I’m a Nicotine addict, who doesn’t wish to quit my favourite drug of choice. Because the flavours/scents are appealing. The packaging is usually pretty cool. (except for those d@mnable tap boxes) Because it intrigues and confuses the people around me. It feeds my Steampunk fantasies. I genuinely enjoy the stuff. It makes me happy…
When I was a boy, well over half a century ago, my mother wouldn’t let me smoke in the house. I thought someday I will have my own house and I will be able to smoke where I like. Wrong now my wife won’t let me smoke in the house. Since it is often not pleasant in the great outdoors I snuff, at first with resentment but now with gratitude because snuffing is a superior and more satisfying way to source nicotine.
+1 because I’m a damn gentleman. I started snuff out out curiosity, mostly. I used it heavily, more-or-less gave it up for a time, then returned with a vengeance when I quit (painlessly) smoking. (I get a lot more out of snuff now) I continue for the nicotine, for the flavour, for the hobbyist/connoisseur element (how excited are you when a new snuff arrives at your doorstep? I get excited just planning future orders!), and for the moment of peace and pleasure, but also for the neat bond I feel (really) with all of you here. I like reading about about what others are snuffing at the moment, or the little rituals we all have when we pinch. We all enjoy our different snuffs in different ways, but we’re sharing the same experience. We’re like a family. A big, spread-out, occasionally trolled family. Cool! (I also agree with everything snuffster posted above. I only smoked for 6-7 years, though)
I originally started snuffing because I was browsing a website that sold snorters (this is BEFORE I tried snuff, mind you), and noticed they were sold for “use with snuff”. This got my attention, and after a couple of days lurking this forum, I made my first order. A tin of McChrystals’ O&G and a tin of Toque Original. Eventually, I quit smoking without even…trying to quit. I just used snuff all the time. While I bounce back and forth with tobacco products, I can honestly say that snuff is my all time favorite. None other can give me the intense calm that it does. Even at times when my snuffing was at a minimum, I still checked this site daily. You guys are awesome, and I have to completely agree with NelsonPipeClub. We’re like a family. ~Ken
I snus to maintain my nicotine levels and satisfy my cravings for cigarettes, and snuff for pleasure. The less I snuff the more pleasureable the experience - My first snuff after a few days abstinence from it is just bliss 
I (like a damn fool) smoked cigarettes for 22 years, started at age 23. Smoked approximately 2-3 packs a day for the last dozen years. Quit flat out with snuff and have no interest whatsoever in going back to smoking. I snuff because of the economics (saving lots of money) and the pure pleasure I derive from it (couldn’t never say that about the smokes). There’s a huge appeal to me that snuffing is something so old it’s been forgotten. It’s up to us to revive it!
