Using snuff also ensures no unpleasant smoke lingers in the air, or on your clothes, making it a more socially acceptable alternative to smoking.

The Upmarket Roots of Tobacco Snuff

The use of tobacco snuff was made famous by the gentry of yesteryear, having been brought into Europe following the second voyage of Christopher Columbus in the late 15th century.

Considered an expensive luxury, snuff tobacco really took off during the 17th century among royals which included King Louis XIII of France and by the 18th century it had reached a peak in England, thanks to Queen Anne and the ladies of her court being big fans.

The use of snuff tobacco was considered to mark the difference between the upper classes and the pipe smoking common man, so anyone wanting to fit in with the upper classes would rarely be seen without a snuff box in their waistcoat pocket.
