Tobacco-free snuff contains no pharmacologically active ingredients and consists of organic material such as mint leaf, red clover, or alfalfa.
How long does a dip last?
The dip rests on the inside lining of the mouth for a period depending upon the user's preference—often 20–40 minutes. Nicotine and other alkaloids found in tobacco are absorbed in saliva sublabially by the inferior or superior labial arteries.
How much does snuff cost?
Snuff is also much cheaper than cigarettes. While a pack of 20 smokes can set you back $7, dry snuff costs between $2 and $5 for a pocket-size container of about 7 grams.
