Nasal snuff

Snuff is ground or pulverized tobacco, which is generally insufflated or "snuffed" through the nose. It is a type of smokeless tobacco. There are several types, but traditionally it means Dry/European nasal snuff. In the United States, "snuff" can also refer to dipping tobacco, which is applied to the gums rather than inhaled.

sht..this seems terrible. why is this 'better' than cigarettes?

We have it in Portugal as well.... actually in Azores, they call it Rapé.
I tried it when I went there 10 years ago, it feels funny and makes you sneeze
for a week. Not approved my meself.
