Lately I've been wondering how much snuff an average snuff taker ingests a day. Then in the warning label post didi578 said back in the day danish snuffers consumed 55g a day. Seems like alot but who knows. So I thought I'd start this thread and se where it goes. So if you feel like sharing.......
No personal info shall be passed beyond these hallowed walls so answer as truthfully as you can.
edit1: I forget to put in mine best i can figure is about 5g a day -

I can say I use quite a bit I've emptied about half a can of Helme's Square in 2 months...this is the 1.15oz tin! But I also rotate my snuffs a lot of the times. I generally take about 3 or 4 pinches an hour at work about a pea size or a little larger. Hope that gives you an idea on my consumption of snuff! I use snuff at home but not nearly as frequently as the work intervals. -
-
At the moment I'm filling up my onefortheroad box and using the contents each day, don't knowm how many grammes that is though, I also have another half box every now and then.
-
If I had to guess i would say about 5g a day, give or take. On days off I use more because I don't really have time to snuff at work.
-
I would guess 3 to 5 grams a day. It depends on what I'm doing that day, and which snuffs I'm carrying.
Cheers,

something like 0,5 to 1 g a day on average, up to 5 g if i am trying hard to get hight. usually accompanied by alcohol then.
-
Only the danish TOP snuffers consumed 55g a day :), I dit read this in one of the largest german
newspapers. :
link: german only
i guess I also use 3-5 grams a day. -

I wish I could take more, but about a gram is tops for me per day. More than that, I get side effects. I don't even do menthol, and do the neti-pot dance any day I snuff. :o) -
-
I'd say probably about 1-2 grams a day.
At work I use snuff very lightly. Only 3-4 pinches per day but in the evenings I use more. -
I'd imagine it's in the range of .5 to 2 grams.
-
Every day I fill up one of those small wooden snuff boxes, and it doesn't last me the whole day. I'd say I use 1-2 of them a day so maybe average 4.5 grams? Some days more. Usually it's toque natural or SP of some sort mixed with an occasional pinch of President (my favorite menthol by a longshot). Then I'll take many pinches of several of my many different flavors at night- maybe another .5 to 1 gram at night...is that a lot...I think not...whenever I'm waiting for something I pretty much snuff as much as I can and just keep the scent going strong!
I'm thinking a mix of toque chocalete, menthol, St. Clemens and some Toque Natural all mixed together would taste really good. I know...random thoughts. -
I would guess I use a little less than 1g per day. If I've got J&H Wilson's Medicated No. 99 I use a little more than 1g.
-
I have to once again edit my first post on this subject obviously 3 months ago it was 5g a day. Today probably 2-3 g a day as I was just quitting smoking then and pretty much only took poschl products. Then again I really hit the whiskey & honey pretty hard today as well as the grapefruit. because they are really good and they are new to me, but I still can not imagine I did more than 5g today and I am sure just like a christmas toy those snuffs will still be used a lot but not as much as christmas day so I have to say in a round figure 3g a day give or take. The most important part is () cigarettes a day. Enjoy your snuff!!!!
-
My consumption has dropped recently due to a heavy cold and impractical working environment but its starting to increase again to about 2-3 pinches per hour each day. I guess i'm still quite a light user but my job makes it impractical to use more. I have such a backlog of snuff I should increase my useage just to work my way through it! lol
-
Wow! 20 kg snuff a year? A very interesting article didi, I just wish the author had listed his sources, because I never heard about this in my life before. I have no idea how much snuff I use on a daily basis, but I go through a half-pound of SP in ca 3 months. But then I also take other tobacco on the side :) Like Royal George and Queen's and Princes and and and :)
-
I'm doing around 5g a day or so. I was wondering how much my sinuses can handle cuz I too am using it as a replacement for cigs, along with snus. I guess that's not a real problem if these guys can handle 55g a day! That seems like it would cause all kinds of sinus trouble, but maybe not?

well u see with 55g users they have hose attatched right before the sninus to catch an extra snuff. this is then mixed with water and inserted directly into their vain. like dialisis -
I just got my first toque order 6 days ago. I have used more than half of a 10g toffee and 1/3 of a 25g of St. clements plus some other snuff so I figure about 15g so that comes out to 2.5g per day. This is the first time I tried to quantify my usage.
-
Looks like 5g a day is some sort of ceiling with snuff, doesn't anyone do more than that? I would think with this many members here there would be some heavy users. Not to pry, but does doing more than 5g cause too many sinus problems? In order to quit a heavy cig habit with snuff alone I think it would take quit a bit more, for some at least.
-
Well, like all things past a certain point it stops being a pleasure and just a habit. Snuff is a luxury in my view and overdoing it would just spoil my enjoyment. I also think that most people would get some degree of congestion with over 5 grammes so maybe that is a natural ceiling. Also, as an ex heavy smoker, I don't have happy memories of doing two packs a day and wouldn't want snuff to go the same way.
-
grams don't matter. Garbage in garbage out I mean snuff in snuff out. If I do more snuff (which I've done more then five grams in some days) I just end up blowing my nose more.
-
Thanks for the response snuffster , I see your point. Im currently doing about 5g a day but supplementing it with snus as that amount of snuffs not enough, for me. But yeah, I sure wouldnt want to ruin the enjoyment I get from snuff for the future either. :)
-
I have had the worst kind of cold the last 2 weeks, so snuffing has been difficult and definitely few and far between. My nose is stuffed up, so I couldn't enjoy it anyways. I have a horrid cough as well, not that it has anything to do with me snuffing, just mentioning.
I'm hoping that I can get over it soon.

I'm up to 3 grams a day, as I am trying to kick my cigarettes habit. I downed my smoke from 60 to 15 cigarettes per day due to the snuff. I don't know if I will be able to give up smoking, but...
-
my grass leaf bullet will last me 2 days.
-
I don't know how much a Toque bullet holds for sure, maybe a gram or so? I do about 4 bullets and some pinching here and there throughout the day. I would guesstimate that to be around 5-7 grams total? I don't always do this much though, some days I hit the snus harder.
-
Didi,
Good and amusing article. Surly the bit about only two snuff companies remaining can't be right?
I don’t think I understood what the study by the Bremen Institute was saying about American studies. Were they saying American snuff caused nasal cancer in mice and rats? What was Önder Götkas saying? Was he saying this was rubbish and they were confusing it with chewing tobacco and oral cancer?
Regards

Seems Im on about 1g a day average sometimes my body (or could it be my mind? oh well!) needs a little more and I bang it up to around 2 1/2g never more than that.
PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! -
-
Recently I have probably only been having 2-3 grams a day. I really haven't been snuffing as much, but I have been enjoying it even more than ever whenever I do. I guess it is starting to turn into less of a habit and more of a hobby.
-
@ BrianC- Are you partaking in other tobaccos as well and where you a smoker and just quitting when you where consuming more.
