Snuff has been around for a LONG time.
Hundreds if years.
If you watch the PBS "Antiques Road Show", you will often see old snuff boxes show up.
Great stuff, that snuff
Haven't seen any in years myself, but I remeber back in the 80's, in high school, all the coolest freaks carried a tin of it around, so they could sneak a snuff any time in class...
