My wife is a well published cancer research scientist and when we met I was a 40 a day smoker. She got me to stop with snuff. It literally saved my life.Toque Snuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826485204422782338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-16931961951504807132013-06-28T08:12:25.080-07:002013-06-28T08:12:25.080-07:00Thanks for all your comments everyone.

Wonder also if their breath smelled from the tobacco (forget about the rotten teeth).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-8897406285503806032013-06-12T12:18:14.721-07:002013-06-12T12:18:14.721-07:00I took up snuff as research for my novel and I enj...I took up snuff as research for my novel and I enjoy it very much.
