I would also find this of great interest. I have never seen a breakdown other than Sweden, where it's 80/20 men to women. I know of only two of my customers girlfriends who also indulge. Come on ladies, are you a secret snuffer or do you snuff with pride?
I think this picture was one of arguing against decadence. It wasn't uncommon for a woman to take snuff when snuff was popular.. at least it was far more common then dirtying themselves with smoke which was considered taboo unless they were at least 40.
