I'm a Sheffield United fan, and snuff features in one of the lines of our main song. Needs explaining to kids as you don't see anybody doing it anymore.

My granddad used it for years, the doctors said it was almost as bad as smoking and was most likely the cause of his lung cancer.

I must admit I thought it had been banned

Got a tin many years ago and tried it out when I was 15.

Not sure if I managed to finish it. Not sure what the effect was meant to be.

I tried some menthol of a friend's husband. It's like putting pepper up your nose. All it did was make me violently sneeze and nearly wee myself

I used to like some them from Sharrow's. A friend lived near their factory but I didn't know at the time, at the back of a big spar shop in Sheffield.

Snuff and chewing baccy was the only legal way that colliers could get their tobacco fix while down the pit.

Jacob Rees Mogg still takes it after his bitty from nanny I think, while he's warming his feet by the fire on the chimney sweep's belly.

I've Googled it and it seems like it is tobacco but finely ground that you snort. Honestly, and I thought smoking the stuff was revolting

Well thanks both above.

Be sure to avoid snuff cos it sounds quite yuck.

Why would you sniff it? Why? Thoroughly baffling

I tried snuff as a teenage tearaway. There was a brief trend for it at the time. Probably something to do with Britpop and fetishising the past.

Like Britpop, and like fetishising the past, it was shit. Didn’t keep the habit up.

He was 60 in 1914 so he'd be pretty old by now!

No but he was pretty asexual anyway. Lots of references in the stories about his lack of romantic interest. He claimed a wife would be a drain on his brain
