[Closed] Anyone ever tried Snuff?

I did when I was at school. Seem to remember it's a bit like snorting capsaicin powder.

Oh yeah, that helps. 😂

I haven't but I attended a wedding in Sweden about 15 years ago and snuff, chewing baccy and those little tobacco teabags were all popular amongst relatively young people at about the time we were all stopping smoking.

Not since I was at school in the early 80s, teacher used to share it as a bribe not to let on he was in the same pub as we were in the lunch hour.

Happy, less PC days

Not since I was a victorian...

The magic dragon?

At uni, circa 2001, and some guy, who thought he was being edgy and interesting, whipped out his snuff box in a bar.

It was an interesting conversation with the bouncers as to why he was perfectly reasonable in intermittently surreptitiously snorting powder from a small box secreted about his person. They didn't agree.

Yes, years ago, didn't take to it smoking seemed far cooler. 😶

Not since the 1970s. There used to be a very good tobacconist at the top of Oxford High St. Only sold tobacco products so no sweets or drinks but dozens of different snuffs probably hundreds of different tobaccos plus fags and cigars.

Growing up a mining area as a kid snuff was popular amongst a certain generation and my farming Grandad used it too. It’s not pleasant as bad as smoking though.

Tried it in the 80's.
My Dad must have been trying to quit smoking at the time and thought it a good idea to let his teenage sons try some snuff.
Seem to remember it being pretty disgusting!

Worked at Bolsover pit for a year in the early 80's, taking snuff seemed to be less repugnant than chewing tobacco

Yeah, saw them about 20 years ago at the Concorde in Brighton. They were brilliant.

I prefer to keep my victims alive.
Thinking of building a bigger basement.

Yep, when I was about 9 or 10. Used to live opposite an actual snuff mill in Sheffield when younger. It was pretty horrible from memory. They even did various flavours I seem to remember, can’t imagine that making it any more pleasant.

Gave me a heaadache for a week 🙁

That's what I came here for...

I had a little skate with them outside the back of the gig they played in Leamington spa must be 25-30 years ago 😳

No haddock left?

In the words of Cat from Red Dwarf...

But what is it?

I've no idea what snuff is...never tried it and never seen anyone using it. Is it a tobacco replacement or tobacco that you sniff instead of smoke? What is the 'benefit' to sniffing the stuff?

No haddock left?

👏😊

I seem to recall, from a childhood attempt, that the main experience from a snort is an extreme burning sensation in the nasal cavity. Followed by uncontrollable fits of sneezing.
I think you’d have to be a very determined type of weirdo to continue, and become addicted to, such a sensation.
But, if addiction and subsequent chronic rhinitis is your goal, I say ditch the ultra cool looking vape machine and grab the brown powder.

saw them last year at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, still great 👍

@DickBarton as I understand it, Snuff is finely ground tobacco that you snort up your nose. Don't know what the benefit of it is, was just curious.

I could never understand why anyone would have a second cigarette after I tried one when I was young, and by the sounds of it Snuff is no more pleasurable. Thanks to those who tried it, so I don't have to! 👍
