Snuff has a long history of use as a form of tobacco, dating back to the early 16th century. It was initially used as a medicinal remedy and was believed to have various health benefits. Today snuff is primarily used as a recreational tobacco product and is often considered less harmful than cigarettes as it does not involve the inhalation of smoke.

Snuff is a fine-grained powder of tobacco inhaled through the nose or placed in the mouth. Snuff is made by grinding tobacco leaves into a fine powder, which is then mixed with various flavoring ingredients. The resulting mixture is then packed into tins or packets. It can be inhaled through the nose by sniffing it or placed in the mouth between the cheek and the gum and slowly absorbed through the lining of the mouth.

Pöschl Tabak is a family-run fourth-generation group and the world’s largest producer of traditional European nasal snuff. The mid-sized company also manufactures fine-cut tobacco, pipe tobacco, and cigarettes. Pöschl Tabak exports to over 100 countries around the globe.
