[edit] Merger?

There is already an article called Snus, dealing practically with the same topic. Merger? --Camptown 12:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't really think so, they are consumed differently, if any should be, it should be Dipping tobacco. J.P.Lon 01:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Nasal snuff and snus/dipping tobacco are very different products. The terminology does cause some confusion, but merging the articles doesn't make sense.74.8.112.195 21:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Of course not.

It would be like putting information about Volvo and Saab in the same article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.211.204.55 (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Stupid idea

Don't suggest a merge just because you don't understand the difference! 81.179.107.98 04:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Is this merger discussion still needed? I would have thought this would be a No, would it not? J.P.Lon 16:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Definitely do not merge. Nasal snuff has nothing to do with snus or American-style oral snuff other than having similar names. 206.61.187.98 21:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Usage

The article doesnt't say how it's taken until about 2/3 of the way down, I think this should probably be further up. I'm not an expert so could someone put that info in? 128.240.229.67 12:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

it also fails to illustrate the point of taking snuff. is it just for the taste or does it give you a buzz? 71.232.62.13 08:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, what is the point of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.94.143 (talk) 06:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Omissions

The article does not mention the point of snuff, the effects on health nor its usage decline since the early 1900s. I visited the page merely to find out why it declined and whether the was a link with its affect on health. I live in the UK and there is a recent ban on smoking in public places. I was wondering if this would lead to the uptake of snuff as a legal way for people to maintain their nicotine intake.

[edit] Move to snuff

This article should be moved to snuff, since this is by far the most common meaning of the term. I've already moved the dabpage to snuff (disambiguation), but I want a minimum of consensus before trying to move this article.

(Non-native speaker here.) I've checked the first 15 Whatlinkshere pages to Snuff, and all of them are talking about either tobacco, the product "snuff" and "snuff"-boxes. If all of those meanings refer to tobacco, then I'd say you should move this page on the basis of primary meaning. – sgeureka t•c 12:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Health Effects?

Why is there mention of the health effects of dry snuff? 66.191.19.217 21:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] snuff club

ok whats up with the fight club reference? that deff needs to get removed. 67.171.94.163 04:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish Snuff

Finnish Snuff - called Snus - is moist, NOT dry, so you need to modify the section on European snuff. SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) (talk) 13:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it's more correct to call snus Swedish, not Finnish. I'm not sure about its origins, but Sweden is certainly its center of gravity as far as use and number of brands go. Snus has it's own wikipedia article. --Kvaks (talk) 19:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Say what now?

Bert Reynolds flavored Snuff? Please verify if this is vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.216.104 (talk) 00:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
