Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

It was also noted that while under the Health Act 2006 it is illegal to give out free tobacco in the United Kingdom, Parliament is exempt from this as the Palace of Westminster is a royal palace, and therefore legally exempt from the legislation.
Used to do snuff because my workplace banned smoking anywhere on campus. I'd go in the bathroom and snort a pinch a few times a day.
Hanging out at the guy's cube next to the door, I was horrified to find that you can hear everything in there! Fuck me. There could hear me snorting and see me coming out with red eyes. My supervisor, who was great woman, asked me very nicely if I had a drug problem because of the "tracks" on my arm. (It was a caring thing, not a nosy thing.) LOL, they were burns from working in a rubber plant that hadn't faded yet.
Anyway, that was my first tech support job and I got my hands on a 386 Windows 3.11 machine! Started my career.
I honestly didn't know anyone did snuff any more.
It's still very popular in Germany, you can find it in every tobacco store and most supermarkets.
It was very popular on high schools in mid 2000s here. I guess easier to hide than smoking.
I'll order some online every now and then. For some reason they sell snuff in Europe and not snus(dip) and in the states it's the opposite.
Snuff is quite invigorating, like snorting a cup of coffee or something. It also makes everything smell nice for a long time as it's scented like fruits and perfume. Of course there's the sneezing and brown boogers too though.
I didnt even know you actually snort the shit. That sounds painful.
Yeah and what did it feel like? Light head like when you had first cig of the day? Or?
You have to do a very small pinch or you're going to be in literal tears. It's a solid rush, makes your scalp tingle, but no, not like your first cig of the day.
It's also pretty gross. Know those lacy cuffs they wore back in the day? Those were literal snot rags for snuff. You gotta blow out the brown boogers eventually.
As I said I dont know. I've never seen it in the waking world.
Yeah I just wanted to add to your comment just in case op see it and respond.
I had a jar of Levi Garrett Snuff when I was younger. I found it at a store in a little mountain town. It looked like it was bottled in the 1800's and had a little cork stopper. There was enough in the jar to last basically forever. It is powerful, like POW! right in the brain. It'll give you a headache if you do too much. Otherwise it's a mild stimulant that hits way harder than it should because of the shock of it. We'd pull the jar out when we were playing poker and all very drunk. Idk what ever happened to that stuff. I must have lost it during a move.
I've only ever bought 2 cans. One I lost and the other lasted well over 10 years.
Are you married? No offense against women but I feel like wives use moving time as throwing out things I don't like time. Men probably do this as well but I can't imagine doing it.
I am, and you're probably right.
theres a pub in dublin, ireland that sells it from behind the bar. kinda fun as a novelty. mulligans on poolbeg st
I did it in the mid to late aughts. They sold it at all the gas stations that had the weird flavored Camels that came in tins. Got bored of it eventually but it was widely sold then.
Those camels were weird but so good!! Never met anyone outside my little group who knew of them
I lost a eighth under the seat of my car for 3 years in one of those camel tins.. izmar stingers to be exact. It stuck to the bottom of my seat motor under my seat and blended in perfectly till one fateful day I was vacuuming out the car and smacked the tin off the motor.... it lined up perfectly you really couldn't tell. Greatest moment of my life as I laughed it off having had the car basically strip searched for illicit items by a cop and a dog that day I lost it... Missed out on a misdominor change inclusion of possession that would have really harmed my potential DUI charge for smoking weed on my way home from work. Literally got out of it saying I couldn't have been since I had nothing with me Other than a glass one hitter And no method of fire. My lawyer was crazy the argument worked as this was many many years ago cali had barely legalized and where I was any amount In Your blood/urine counted as under the influence In my state.
Anyway I used to smoke the shit out of those camals and got myself to the point I couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes and would puke at the scent of izmar stingers.
I used to get so much free swag from Camel, and one of the things was testing the new tinned flavors. Some were ok, I remember one tasted like straight up vomit.
Back in the 80s they'd give schoolkids cocaine, pretty sure your boss was bumping.
