On nicotene. Maybe it depends on the snuff? Ozona President seems to have it.

I believe the nicotine factor varies from snuff to snuff, as it does with pipe tobacco and cigars. Toque makes a snuff called "Quit" that is appreciably higher than other snuffs in nicotine, it's supposed to help people off of cigarettes.

If I don't snuff for a long time, I get a head rush, but normally, no, I don't. But then again, I'm a low volume cigarette smoker while I work, so that could contribute.

Vis-à-vis nicotine: It turns out we're all correct. In low doses, N is stimulant; in higher doses, it's sedative.

When tobacco is ignited, most of the nicotine burns away before it can enter your system, so snuff, dip, chew, etc. deliver a much higher doses proportionally--it doesn't take much snuff to get the high-dose effect. If you're snuffing regularly, you get a relaxing/pain-killing effect; if you take a little only when you need a boost, you get stimulation.
