@lunecat. That is highly interesting. How many people have you met who use nasal snuff but have never really smoked?
Both @ladysnuff and I have never really smoked; I do have a pipe, but only use it every few months, and TBH enjoy snuff far more
I’ve never smoked, apart from the odd pipe. I started with snuff at 16.
Me too.
“Why Snuff” ? Vitamin N is good for you ! :)>-
=D> :-h
Non, je ne regrette rien …
I know a regular nasal snuffer who never smoked. He would have a cigarette very occasionally, like once every few months he might have a couple. I do not regret being addicted to tobacco, it’s a pleasurable and cheap habit.

I have never really smoked
Am on medication that prohibits me from being able to imbibe a glass of red wine or two. Snuff has replaced my red wine intake ( and is considerably cheaper).
of all tobacco products it has the most uplifting buzz.
Well I have to say as a former cigarette smoker, but consistent tobacco user is that I do not regret starting the habit, but I am glad that as a tobacco user I have evolved. All I have to say for why snuff, is that it is one of the few forms of tobacco where it isn’t taxed to high hell. Meaning generally high quality for a relatively low price.
I have used tobacco off and on since a very early age. I had an uncle that gave me chew while we were hunting “alligators” with coat hangars when I was about 8 yrs old. By the 5th grade I was smoking whatever cigarettes/tobacco my friends and I could steal from the gas station or find along the road, you’d be surprised how many unopened packs of cigs end up in the ditch along country roads. Anyway, I was sitting with a friend by the roadside smoking some cigs we had found one day and realized they taste like crap and the brief buzz wasn’t worth the trouble so I quit. Since, I have occasionally had a RYO here and there, and enjoyed them, but always made a point to never make a daily habit and it has not been hard at all. I’m very interested in why tobacco/Nic is so addictive to most people but for some of us it doesn’t seem to be. Both my brothers and my dad are smokers (got one of them to switch to snus) but I will never be a regular user. Snuff is something I have found in the last several months and I really love it! I won’t let myself be a slave to it though. I use it once in a while as a pick me up when I’m working late, to give me a sharper focus when I’m painting, and to enjoy the olfactory delights it provides. With my moderate usage the many kinds available will provide me with a lifetime’s worth of new snuffs to explore at minimal expense!
When I stopped smoking cigs, I put on 22 pounds and felt generally miserable. I stayed off for five years, then succumbed to the pipe. Much more fun, but too much equipment and takes too much time. I bought a tin of Quit on an impulse and the rest is history. By far the coolest, most fun, practical and least offensive way to use tobacco.
addiction is a reaction of the nervous system to a substance. Some people are prone to certain addictions others are not. With nicotine it has a lot to do with several factors. One is how enjoyable it is to a person. People get different pleasure responses to nicotine. For others nicotine may help their brain function properly (me). The more nicotine does either for someone the more likely they are to get addicted to it. I could go into more detail but you can look up the research and science of nicotine and other addictions on the internet.
Great vid!
Brilliant video @lunecat Thanks muchly! Time for some snuff in these most wretched of times!
I had an interest in snuff for about five years before I actually decided to try it. I got absolutely fed up with smoking coffin nails and wanted something that complemented my Snus habit. It was a natural fit. I actually wish I started with Snuff and Snus versus spending years as a cigarette smoker. Plus, the fact that it has been scientifically documented to not be linked to cancer is also another incentive to stick with this hobby.
I regret cigarettes - vile things. Thank goodness I gave those up. I most certainly do not regret nicotine - a wonderful drug when used through a safety maximising method, snuff, snus, ecigs - all good imo.
Yeah, thanks for sharing that lunecat. Really great stuff!
One can do snuff anytime anywhere
