My friend got me some sniffing tobacco from Vancouver one time. It was in a little marron platic case and you hit this lever thing and it would slide some out and you put it on the web of your hand and snort it. It was like Vic’s vaporub times 10 and your nasal passage was instantly cool and clear. I later kept it just for when i had a plug nose I would sniff some and be good to go again.

Thanks for posting. Tobacco has been demonized to such an extent that even the conspiracy-inclined have a programmed aversion to thinking that it might not be as bad as the TV says it is.

Like snus, snuff has never been shown to have any deleterious health effects. And the one study that examined pipe smoking without grouping it with cigars found that pipe smokers lived longer than non-smokers. They started lumping pipe smokers in with cigars after that to "prove" that pipes were bad for you.

*the concentration of carcinogens (cancer causing compounds) present in snus is on the order of 1/10,000 the level present in American chew or any form of cigarette.

Even though tobacco use is sky high in Sweden, cancer rates are a fraction of those seen in places where cigerettes are the norm. What’s the difference? In Sweden the tobacco is air cured versus flame cured, the lack of high temperatures almost entirely prevents the formation of carcinogenic compounds.

What’s the conspiracy? This CLEAR means of tobacco use harm reduction has been outlawed by the EU in all member states except Sweden, the only ones with any balls (and corporate interest). If you’re an American you may have recently seen the first brand of snus permitted for sale in the U.S. named “General” however they are being railroaded by the fda over approval and what kind of warning labels they will need.

Just like with the banning of flavored vape juice, big tobacco, big pharma, and their orgiastic relationship with the government is harming the people of the world.
