Nasal Snuff.

Does anyone take nasal snuff? I think this may be the best solution for those with a bent for indulgent vices--it is inexpensive though refined, and nobody can really fault you if you sniff indoors as is the case with smoking. Also, it is by far the healthiest tobacco product; as of yet there have been no cancers linked to nasal snuff. In fact, the only link to cancer was some British farmer who contracted ear cancer because he--for reasons unknown--took snuff by the ear. Note I am not talking about moist snuff which is linked to various cancers and is a rather disgusting looking habit.

A year or two ago, I tried a bit of snuff tobacco that a friend had purchased - it burned like nothing else. I really don't understand the appeal.

I think it depends on the flavoring; some are harsher than others. Usually for beginners, sneezing is involved.

So do you grade tobacco "healthiness" on the scale between awful to really bad?

Well, when tobacco is burned a lot of the commonly-known chemicals and carcinogens are released and produced.

I must admit, part of the attraction for me is the accessories associated with snuff. Those snuffboxes.

Last time I checked, we weren't living in Regency England.

I used to use snuff. I can't recall the brand I used without seeing the canister in front of me, but as far as flavor goes I highly suggest mint. My local tobacconist has many brands of snuff and many flavors. Ask them what they suggest, or what their customers usually buy.

Also the brand I used burned very slightly and was not a bad feeling at all. I rather enjoyed snuff.

You can also dip snuff, but I do not recommend it at all. Snuff is much finer than even super fine dip, and it just sort of goes everywhere in your mouth.

Chewing and dipping are an option. I've been known to partake very rarely along with cigars (more frequently).

Last time I checked we weren't living in a lot of the time/places that LableKing tries to fauxly associate himself with.

I smelled--not tried--some Friborg & Treyer snuff and it was very sweet. I believe the flavor was called French-something. It was almost incense-like in its sweetness.

Chewing and dipping seem rather messy and apparently is where cancer is known to happen whereas sniffing snuff has no known--as of now--side-effects. I understand snuff was popular in the South.
