tobacco product that is typically inhaled through the nose. It consists of finely ground or powdered tobacco leaves, which are often flavored or scented. Unlike other tobacco products, snuff is not smoked or chewed, but rather snorted into the nostrils. This allows the nicotine and other chemicals in the tobacco to be absorbed through the nasal membranes and into the bloodstream, resulting in a quick nicotine hit. Snuff has a long history and has been used for centuries in various cultures around the world. However, its popularity has declined significantly in recent years due to increased awareness of the health risks associated with tobacco use.
