Nasal Snuff

[TropicalBob]

If you snort it, Giantfan, it will hit the sinus passages hard, burning like crazy, but, worse, it will trickle down the back of your throat. There is no good way to get rid of that painful sensation. Not even drinking water helps, because you've powdered the area between nose and throat.

Get ready to cough, cough, cough for a long time and dab your watering eyes.

I've done it. I've seen YouTube videos of people snorting long lines of snuff through a straw. Try it, but people "sniff" this stuff for a reason. The lower part of the nose works fine for absorption and there's no irritation.

One person I know who has used snuff for a long time puts an index finger in the snuff, then touches it lightly into the base of each nostril. That's plenty. Works for him -- but I can't recommend that in a crowded restaurant after supper!

Thank you for that description Tropical Bob. I will not be snorting this stuff then. It is enjoyable enough done the sniffing way. I would be interested in finding some stronger varieties to test though.

Snuffhouse.org is a forum devoted to nasal snuff as this one is to e-cigs. Check it out, and pose a question there about which strong ones to try. Good luck.

Following a lead from another thread I'm going to award TB with a star for being the first person on ECF to mention nasal snuff on 1/13/08.

Hi!

Just how many accolades can one person get in one day. Though Smokey Joe was the first to mention snus

Electronic smoking, harm reduction and the Swedish example.
