Homonym: snuff (Extinguish)
Snuff is a type of finely ground tobacco that is inhaled or "snuffed" through the nose. It is often flavored and comes in various forms, including dry and moist varieties. Users typically take a small pinch of snuff and place it in their nostrils, allowing the tobacco to be absorbed through the nasal membranes.
Historically, snuff was popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, especially among the aristocracy. Unlike smoking, snuff does not involve combustion, which means it produces no smoke. Today, it is less common but still enjoyed by some as an alternative to other tobacco products like cigarettes or cigars.
