It was also noted that while under the Health Act 2006 it is illegal to give out free tobacco in the United Kingdom, Parliament is exempt from this as the Palace of Westminster is a royal palace, and therefore legally exempt from the legislation.

You have to do a very small pinch or you’re going to be in literal tears. It’s a solid rush, makes your scalp tingle, but no, not like your first cig of the day.

It’s also pretty gross. Know those lacy cuffs they wore back in the day? Those were literal snot rags for snuff. You gotta blow out the brown boogers eventually.

I did it in the mid to late aughts. They sold it at all the gas stations that had the weird flavored Camels that came in tins. Got bored of it eventually but it was widely sold then.

I lost a eighth under the seat of my car for 3 years in one of those camel tins… izmar stingers to be exact. It stuck to the bottom of my seat motor under my seat and blended in perfectly till one fateful day I was vacuuming out the car and smacked the tin off the motor… it lined up perfectly you really couldn’t tell. Greatest moment of my life as I laughed it off having had the car basically strip searched for illicit items by a cop and a dog that day I lost it… Missed out on a misdominor change inclusion of possession that would have really harmed my potential DUI charge for smoking weed on my way home from work. Literally got out of it saying I couldn’t have been since I had nothing with me Other than a glass one hitter And no method of fire. My lawyer was crazy the argument worked as this was many many years ago cali had barely legalized and where I was any amount In Your blood/urine counted as under the influence In my state.

Anyway I used to smoke the shit out of those camals and got myself to the point I couldn’t stand the smell of cigarettes and would puke at the scent of izmar stingers.

I’ll order some online every now and then. For some reason they sell snuff in Europe and not snus(dip) and in the states it’s the opposite.

Snuff is quite invigorating, like snorting a cup of coffee or something. It also makes everything smell nice for a long time as it’s scented like fruits and perfume. Of course there’s the sneezing and brown boogers too though.

It’s still very popular in Germany, you can find it in every tobacco store and most supermarkets.

It was very popular on high schools in mid 2000s here. I guess easier to hide than smoking.
