Snuff news recently in The Oldie talking about how one way to obtain a ‘legal’ nicotine fix since the smoking ban is to switch to snuff.

In the ‘Old Un’s Diary’; The Oldie talks about how their interest in snuff was raised by a story of a tobacconist, who became concerned about their employees spending too much time smoking outside of the premises, that the company offered to buy them snuff to use instead. If they liked it, the company would continue supplying snuff to keep the employees inside the premises.

The article then goes on to explain how snuff is still popular in some UK colleges and a little about snuff etiquette.

The snuff article then closes with a ’sneeky’ snuff story about how it’s worthwhile remembering before accepting the kind offer of snuff, to pinch hard on a button of one’s waistcoat, inorder to leave a indentation in the thumb that ensures ‘ample sufficency’ of snuff is taken!
