SNUFF TOBACCO THE PAST! THE PRESENT!
Since the 1940’s tobacco and in particular cigarettes have been promoted (advertised) in many different ways. Initially, I think that it is important to investigate how and why this has been successful. Imagine living back in the early 2oth Century when the modern cigarette was first on the scene. We remember the old movies with all the characters in smoke filled rooms. Prior to that, the industry faced similar issues to that of snuff today. Putting a cigarette into your mouth, inhaling and blowing smoke out was considered unsociable and would not “catch on”. Well we all know that it did. It is considered in academic circles that the strength of the marketing and in particular the advertising had much to do with that. Of course, we do not have the large budgets for national, let alone global advertising, but we do have a lot of lessons to learn. I have broken down these tips into fourteen guiding principles of tobacco tactics:
The Cool Factor -By associating celebrities and “ideal” people with fun, excitement and attitude, tobacco advertisers work hard to convince consumers that if they don’t smoke, they’re not cool. (There’s even a brand of cigarette called “Kool”!)
Celebrity Smokers - Although tobacco companies can’t use celebrity spokespeople in their ads, researchers have noted an increase in smoking by characters in movies – especially movies with teen appeal. Magazine photos of musicians, models and actors smoking also promote the idea that smoking is glamorous.
Dreams and Insecurities -Tobacco advertisers use different strategies to attract males and females. Cigarette ads geared to young women play on the idea of being “liberated” and in control – while at the same time playing on insecurities about body image. Brands geared towards women often have words like “slim” or “slender” in the product name, or use extremely thin models in their ads. Cigarette ads geared to young men use rugged, independent, masculine-looking models, such as the classic image of the Marlboro Man. These models are usually shown participating in sports or outdoor activities, or surrounded by beautiful women.
Facts and Figures- Tobacco advertisers have been known to use statistics and “pseudo-science” to give the impression that smoking is safe and to enhance their products’ credibility.
Friends, Fun and Excitement- Tobacco ads feed the notion that everyone smokes – and has lots of fun while doing it. Images of happy smokers at parties, in restaurants and even in the great outdoors reinforce the connection between smoking and good times.
Snuff to go- Snuff is trend predicted to increase over the next few years following the tobacco foot steps now that smoking is ban in most public areas! Take into consideration the steps above! and share your thoughts!

Health Issues
Smokeless tobacco is a SAFER alternative to cigarettes and cigar smoking (not safe, but safer). Snuff helps smokers quit smoking by switching the quitter from cigarettes and cigars to smokeless snuff. Smokeless tobacco is far safer and it still delivers the nicotine you crave. Snuff carries only a fraction of the oral cancer risk of smoking, and none of the lung cancer risk. It's a safer alternative, and a useful stepping stone to quitting tobacco altogether. All forms of tobacco use are not associated with health risks of the same type or magnitude. For example, risks from cigarette smoking result in the loss of an average of 8 years of life for smokers. In contrast, lifelong smokeless tobacco users lose 0.04 year on average.
Due to the greater popularity of smoking tobacco it must be stated that more research has been undergone in this area than smokeless tobacco and that all nicotine products and tobacco cause serious problems to your health

Nasal snuff is a generic term for fine-ground smokeless tobacco products. Originally the term referred only to snuff tobacco, a fine tan dust popular mainly in the eighteenth century. This is often know as nasal tobacco or nasal snuff which is a smoke free tobacco a folk-etymology derivation of the scorching process used to dry the cured smoke free tobacco by the factory. nasal snuff has even been found to be beneficial in some cases of hay fever due to the fact that the snuff tobacco may prevent allergens from getting to the mucus membrane within the nose.[citation needed] American snuff tobacco is much stronger, and is intended to be dipped. It comes in two varieties -- "sweet" and "salty". Until the early 20th century, snuff dipping was popular in the United States among rural people, who would often use sweet barkless twigs to apply it to their gums. Popular brands are Tube Rose and Navy.

smokeless tobacco
The second, and more popular in North America, variety of snuff is moist snuff, or dipping tobacco. This practice is known as "dipping." In the Southern states, taking a "dip" of moist snuff is called "putting a rub in," or snuff sniffing the moist snuff in the mouth is known as a "rub." This is occasionally referred to as "snoose" in New England and the Midwest and is derived from the Scandinavian word for snuff, "snus". Like the word, the origins of moist snuff smokeless tobacco are Scandinavian, and the oldest American brands indicate that by their names. American Moist snuff is made from dark fire-cured tobacco that is ground, sweetened, and aged by the factory. Prominent North American brands are Copenhagen, Skoal, Timber Wolf, Chisholm, Grizzly, and Kodiak. American moist snuff nasal tobacco tends to be dipped. Some modern smokeless tobacco brands, such as Kodiak, have an aggressive nicotine delivery. This is accomplished with a higher dose of nicotine than cigarettes, a high pH level (which helps nicotine enter the blood stream faster), and a high portion of smoke free tobacco

It has been suggested by The Economist magazine that the ban on smoking tobacco indoors in some areas, such as Britain and New York City, may lead to resurgence in the popularity of snuff as an alternative to tobacco smoking. Although the large-scale closure of British mines in the 1980s deprived the nasal tobacco industry of its major market since snuff became unfashionable (miners took snuff underground instead of smoking to avoid lethal explosions and fires), sales at Britain's largest snuff retailer have reportedly been rising at about 5% per year.
