How Does Your Spouse or Girlfriend React to Your Snuff Taking?

My wife is a gem and a half, and we've been married for six years (knew each other for four years before we tied the knot).  I dip, snuff, and have an odd cigarette every blue moon.  She doesn't mind the dip or snuff, but the second-hand from cigarettes make her gag.  Now, ALL of my X-girlfriends in the past despised dip and believed snuff was simply abhorrent.  My wife sees right through tobacco and has a mature understanding that is unbelievably supportive.  Even dip!  It's rare in my experience.  Despite my ramblings in other threads about dropping exorbitant amounts of cash on snuff gear and freaking out my wife, she's actually very supportive with it all.  Not once has she ever disapproved of ANY of my purchases.  I consider myself very lucky, you?   %%-

My wife doesn't love it, but she doesn't complain about it either. As long as I don't walk around looking like the first prize winner in a Bavarian Schmaltzer contest, she is pretty cool with my snuffing.

my girl is fantastic ... always game for trying a sniff as well, though she usually coughs a bit ... and much appreciative that it smells so wonderful compared to cigarettes.

My wife tells me that she would rather I smoke.  I guess she doesn't like it much 8-|

My girlfriend is severely against my snuffing and she would much prefer that i smoke. I never talk about it or do it around her.

MikeMoose

My girlfriend is much against my snuffing as well LOL.  She does not like any form of tobacco use...  I told her that I won't be giving up snuff though, it is MY THING, and no one is gonna change that.  So I just don't do it around her LOL

bigmick

My wife prefers my use of snuff to snus and both to my smoking 2 packs of cigs a day. She will use snus every now and then, but won't touch snuff. She supports my odd passion for tobacco even while thinking I'm more than a bit looney.

All girls I meet think its illegal drugs, no matter how much I try to explain...

DanielO

Pretty much everyone I meet thinks snuff is illegal drugs, and snus is chewing tobacco.  Most people around here have never smoked a cigar, and I've never met another pipe smoker.  That's in 25 years of living here.  I am in tobacco hell.

ddavelarsen

My wife thinks I'm nuts to enjoy snuff. She's tried it a couple of times and hated the burn. She hates it when I spend money on snuff too. But overall she just ignores it. Snuff gets me through the workday and occasionally I take it on the weekends too when I'm missing the nice toasty smell. I love snuff, and it's not going away from my life, ever. I think she understands that, at least.

joesnuffer

Been married for 10 years and my wife likes me snuffing WAAY better than me dipping!

mustangii

When I have snuff on my face, she tells me I got that brown shit on your face.

My missus doesn't much mind my snuff except for when I pinch scotch in the car ("smells like a campfire in here!").  And she likes the fact I don't smoke near as much as I used to...I'll never give up smoking completely (enjoy it too much) but thanks to snuff (enjoyable in its own right) the cigs are now down to a dull roar...

giaach

Girlfriend doesn't mind and occasionally after a few drinks becomes quite curious of whatever I'm sniffing and has a pinch herself :)

Bloodnativ

My wife doesn't know about my snuff habit yet. I've only been snuffing for a couple months and I usually do it when I'm out in my workshop. She doesn't usually bother me out there. It's not like I go out of my way to hide it I just tend to do it when I'm alone, though I may sneak a quick snort when I'm in the bathroom or something. As long as I don't spend too much at one time on it she doesn't ask too many questions. I'm not quite sure how to introduce her to it. I'm not how she'll react to it when she does eventually find out. Though knowing her, she already knows. She's pretty smart and observant. Hopefully she'll be more receptive to it than my pipe smoking. She always says it stinks. She tolerates it though.

desirexe

I am one of the supportive women :) I actually encourage my husband to use snuff and wish he used it more often. Snuffing is more fun with a partner to compare notes with. Since I am the main user, he doesn't complain because I do "what a woman ought to do," cook, clean, raise his child, walk his dog, attend his stupid work parties and never complain about his silly non-tobacco purchases. I have learned by keeping him happy, I get the same in return.

furious

@ desirexe You sound like the perfect wife! Your husband is a lucky man. Wish that my wife would ask for a pinch.

Vito445

Lol you baby boomers! it is nice to see a woman who enjoys snuff and accepts it, regardless of your wifestyle, although to a degree it sounds appealing in a woman.

Dogwalla

My wife is very supportive of my snuff habit.  She see the economy of it versus smoking, and even likes to steal a pinch once in a while.  She doesn't understand why I feel like I need to own every snuff that's available, but I don't really understand it either.  So far she has really enjoyed HDT, Poschl Sudfrucht (although she things stuffing would be more strange to do in public than sniffing).  

She just bought me a ceramic burr grinder that I can use on my own blends too. =D

transistor

My fiance carries her own Tripletech Zebrawood.  She always smells my snuff when she kisses me and say's "that smells good lemme have some" so I open my box for her to take some of whatever snuff I've got.  She's down with snuffing ;)

Her favorites: Grand Cairo, Gold Label, Strausburg

khalid

I think she would rather I didn't take snuff but she is very tolerant. The only snuffs she complains about the smell of are, Viking dark and Molens latakia. She says they smell like tweedy old men.

Mr. Nose

My Girlfriend is glad that I am smoking a lot less; I pretty much never smoke at the house anymore.  But she always insists on kissing me before I take a pinch.  She is also not crazy about the the dusting I give our daughter when I kiss her. I guess it's part of the hazard of having such a long moustache.

Talljim

My wife approves, and even tries all my news snuffs. She doesn't even mind the pipe smoking!

petersuki

My wife is a bit amazed at the TAD.  But she is shrewed enough to know that it beats smoking five pound notes every day.  And there's little fallout from snuffing.   Still, on the whole it remains a perverse and eccentric habit in the UK.  Good! If it became popular,  government would want its share of the take and no doubt prices would skyrocket.

MrNemo

My former girlfriend, with whom I'm still close, likes snuff and will have a pinch every now and again. She also like my pipe smoking and will smoke with me every so often.

On the topic of the other women in my life, my mother is a cheerful supporter of all my tobacco habits - as long as I don't spend too much on it. My sister has grown used to the snuff after first hating it, but quite likes shisha, and has been known to have a pipe or cigar. Mosy of my other female friends also like snuff - especially when they're out.

I guess I must be lucky. ;-)

nightcap

My wife tolerates my snuff.

To her it's still tobacco.

She gave up smoking and the fact that I'm still using a tobacco product........ influences her oppinion on snuff.

 

 

Snuffster

Mine detests smoking with a capital D and is the most intolerant woman on Earth when it comes to smoking. She even whinges when I smoke in the garden with the consevatory door closed - claimimg she can still smell it. As she is the best possible spouse apart from this I forgive her. She does, however, love the fact that full time snuff using means I don't smoke and I have been bribed by many a snuff box or consignment of snuff to stay on the wagon (which I would anyway, bless her). So it's kind of cool and worked out now. She has never so much as held a cigarette and tobacco is a complete mystery to her, so she has no concept of snuff being weird or gross, just that it means I don't smoke. She even doesn't bat an eyelid if I snuff in a restaurant.

bob

my gal seems to be more addicted to me having snuff then I'am to useing it. She gets that feeling that I'am running out and better make an order soon before I do. A big part of that is that I don't smoke and that I enjoy it. Which is what I don't get you'd think a wife or girlfriend (husband or boyfriend too) would by default care about the pleasure of their partner. That your interests would be great if for no reason then they are your interests.

Prismaster

Mine likes the snuff and the pipe way better then the cigs, anyway on snuff she make her remarks: "stuff on your face" or "i dont wanna kiss you since i smell the snuff" ... but since she does it only to make fun here and there but i can live with it.

Zanaspus

My wife doesn't mind and often joins me. I've let her try most of my snuffs, but O&G is her only love.

street carp

My girlfriend doesn't mind and rarely even brings it up in conversation. I've been snuffing longer than I've known her and we've known each other 3 and a half years so she's probably past the point of finding it strange.

puffpuff

My wife is simply glad I stopped smoking cigarettes.

She won't try my snuff, but she's glad that I have it, since I haven't had a cigarette in nearly 3 years.

Win-win.    B-)

Sly3904

I have a former girlfriend I see often and about once a week or so I fill up an empty tin with whatever toast I have on hand for her. She is cool with it but doesn't see how I can snuff a moist snuff like Kendal all day

matsnuffs

Anymore, seems my girlfriend uses more snuff than I do.

Jinder

My wife introduced me to snuff-she bought me two WoS tins (Lemon Grove and Ice Liquorice) for our first wedding anniversary, and it was love on first sniff!

I'm also an occasional pipe smoker (she bought me a lovely handmade Bent three years ago, and I've dipped in and out ever since, now owning four pipes-two great straight pipes and a very cool Baby Bent-and enjoying it very much) but I don't smoke a lot due to being a singer for a living.

My wife is totally cool with both pursuits, but dislikes plain Virginia pipe tobaccos as they smell "like cigarettes" and much prefers me to smoke more Oriental and Latakia-based blends such as Balkan Mixture etc. No problem at all with snuff though, I can (and often do) snuff myself silly, with no spousal complaint whatsoever.

sleepinggecko

My wife doesn't seem to mind too much.  At first, I was worried she'd find it strange.  She does, but what can I say, I'm strange, and she loves me anyway!

She has complained a time or two about the smell of HDT.  I promptly cleared out the schnozz and replaced with Dholakia Swiss Chocolate or Toque Christmas Pudding.  She jokes about the black boogers every now and then.

SnuffMe621

My girlfriend doesn't mind at all. She will actually run out to the store and pick me up a few tins once in awhile. Just as long as I'm not smoking cigs. Trying to quite those. Only problem is she doesn't like kissing me when I use any clove snuff. She hates the smell if cloves.

yummysnuff

My friends assume its illegal and then ask to try some, then it's funny watching their reaction. Maybe I should tell them they only need a small pinch of hedges L260. :D

Why do most men care so much about what there wife says..  Some things are personal for 1 person, not for 2 ( Does that make sense ? ). Snuff taking is one of them I think. You are not bothering anyone with it. Much different then smoking or let's say slamming a bottle of JD and being drunk every day. For instance ;)

cstokes4

I care what my wife thinks because we are a unit.  And while we have certain things that are personal to each of us, if something has to do with my health I believe that I have an obligation to receive her input.  I immensely enjoyed dipping but I also knew that it was bad for my health and that my wife did not like it, she asked me to quit so I did.  If I wanted to be selfish I would have never got married.  

Harlequin

My wife is supportive of my snuff habit because it pretty much wiped dip and cigs off the map. I might dip 3 times a month and have a cig from time to time, but that's better than a can of dip every two days. It means not spending the extra money on cigs for me (while she still smokes, and we both know full well she's a hypocrit), and no bottles of tobacco spit for the kid to get laying around....so yeah, snuff, yay......but I've told her many times before, she can make all her false attempts at quitting all she wants, I like tobacco and I'm not giving it up.

luxaorta

My wife doesn't care as long as I don't make her do it. She still smokes, so now it's my subtle mission to get her to snus/snuff. :)

thorgrimnr

My wife is certainly in favour of me not smoking, was alright with snus,
and most of the time doesn't give me too much grief about snuff. She
sometimes get's embarrassed if I take a pinch in public. Her worst
criticism is that some of them smell like dead grandmother (geranium in
WoS Brunswick, which is one of my faves ) but all in all is okay with
it. 

transistor

She asks me for a pinch!  And then asks me to fill her snuff box!
I love my woman. ;)

Dogwalla

My wife was super supportive until I stopped buying cigarettes.  Now she's slightly annoyed by it because she either has to buy her own or stop smoking.  What a mooch ;)

Harlequin

Eesh....I seem to have run into an issue with my spouse and snuff....now that I'm sure I'll stick with it, I want to desperately branch out from the scotches that I can get in the store but...

"Why the hell do you want to order online when it costs more?! You can get snuff for 4 dollars in the store and you get more of it!"

Any tips besides the "I'd still be spending much less than you on cigarettes." argument?

Slide

Buy bulk and show her the cents per gram comparison..

cakeanddottle

Mine is fine with it and will even do the occasional bump of Princes Special

KebAMP

@Harlequin

The olfactory part in snuff is at least 50% of the pleasure. You could use the food analogy. Tell her to limit yourself to scotches only is like eating barbecue 365 days a year.

@Harlequin

Option 1:
Be a man and place an order, and tell your wife to get back to the kitchen to get you a beer.

Option 2  ( The more serious one ) :

Tell your wife if you would place a snuff order now of let's say, $50 this will be enough for a loooooooooooong time. It's a 1 time investment instead of the daily returning smokes.

Option 3 : See Option 1.

@Micheltn LOL!
"get your bitch ass back to the kitchen and bake me some pie!"
