Snuff is a smokeless tobacco product made from pulverized tobacco leaves, which are then mixed with spices and herbs. It was first introduced in Europe during the 17th century, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that its popularity began to increase. In the United States, snuff became popular among men during the Civil War era, when soldiers were given it as part of their rations. The rise of the automobile also helped to spread the use of snuff, since it could easily be carried in cars and used on long trips. Today, snuff is still popular in many parts of the world, especially in countries where smoking is prohibited.
