Snuff, or snuff, is a type of finely powdered tobacco that many people currently use as an alternative to cigarettes.Some individuals use it as a way to gradually stop consuming smoking products, while others also prefer this option to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke of the people around them.There are many techniques for using snuff, but remember that it still contains nicotine and is therefore addictive.While you may be led to believe that this type of tobacco is less harmful than smoking tobacco, be aware that it poses several health risks.
-
Use small amounts. Take only small doses of snorting tobacco.There is no need to inhale a lot at once, otherwise you will irritate the nasal mucosa and cause dizziness.Limit yourself to consuming a tobacco ball smaller than a pea.[1]
-
Take a pinch of product and inhale it. It is generally marketed in small boxes and sold in tobacconists.Most users snort it by placing a small amount between their thumb and forefinger.You should place your fingers close to one nostril and then inhale gently.
- You don't have to inhale the tobacco and bring it deep into your nasal passages;the goal is to get it into the front of the nose.
- Try to inhale gently while absorbing the scent of the product.
- If it feels uncomfortable to hold the tobacco between your thumb and forefinger, you can use two more fingers.For example, you can try with your thumb and ring finger.
-
Use a dispenser a Bullet story. It is a small metal device similar to a bullet that is used to consume this type of tobacco.You have to put a small amount of product in the dispenser and you can inhale it throughout the day.You can use the "bullet" during the day without annoying the people around you and this is the biggest advantage of the device.Besides, it is also a nice container for tobacco.
- Usually, the bullet is filled to ⅘ of its capacity.This way you have enough product to inhale safely.
- Tap the base of the bullet three or four times.This is the less tapered end of the dispenser that does not have any opening;By hitting it gently you allow the tobacco to move across the surface.
- Place the open end of the dispenser into your nose, tilting it slightly forward.As you inhale, you need to make sure that the tobacco enters your nose, but not all the way into the cavity.
- Inhale lightly until you feel a bit of tobacco landing on the tip of your nose.You will probably feel a little burning, especially if it is your first time using this type of tobacco.
-
Place the product on the back of your hand. Many users support this method.You can drop a little tobacco on the back of your hand, lean forward and inhale it.If you are outdoors and use this technique, the wind may blow the product away;furthermore, it may be an inelegant way to consume tobacco in social situations.[2]
-
Inhale slowly. When using snorting tobacco, you need to proceed slowly.You don't have to let it reach the nasal cavities, but only inside the nostrils.This technique should be enough to make you feel slightly dizzy, similar to what you feel when smoking a cigarette.[3]
-
Expect to sneeze. It will take some time before you get used to the sensation transmitted by this type of tobacco;so be aware that you will sneeze almost immediately.It is not uncommon to sneeze repeatedly when using snuff for the first time.Keep a tissue handy when you start;Over time, sneezing will become less of a problem.
- If you sneeze or cough excessively after consuming tobacco, you may have inhaled it too deeply.In this case, try to inhale it more delicately next time.
-
Purchase a snorting tobacco box. It is a small container that you can find in many tobacconists.Its purpose is to store the product when you are not using it.You can keep it comfortably in your pocket or bag, to be able to take tobacco even when you are away from home.
- The price of the boxes varies widely.Some are collector's items and are quite expensive;others, however, are less expensive and are basically simple containers.If you want a tobacco box just to store it, you can choose a practical and economical model.
- If you have decided not to buy the box, you can use any small, resealable container, such as a small Tupperware.
-
Store it in a cool, dry place. Tobacco can last a long time if stored correctly.Choose a place in the house that respects these characteristics, such as the basement, if it is colder than other rooms.Alternatively, you can store it in the top drawer of the kitchen, which is little exposed to the heat of the stove.
-
Keep it out of reach of small children and pets. Snorting tobacco is not safe for children or animals, who may inadvertently eat it.Be sure to store it in a place that cannot be reached by these individuals, such as the top drawer or your bedroom which they are prohibited from accessing.
-
Be careful when using snorting tobacco with the aim of stopping using other similar products. Many people choose it as a transition method while trying to completely stop using this substance.Snuff does not reach the lungs and some studies indicate that it is less addictive or less dangerous than other products.However, the results of this research are questionable.If you want to use this substance as a transition method to quit tobacco use, you should talk to your doctor first.Many doctors advise against this technique, as it simply creates another bad habit.
