My only knowledge of snuff is as a tobacco product. It is in a powder form and you take a pinch of it between your thumb and forefinger and then sniff it up your nose. Sounds fun, doesn't it? 
Oh wait, another use is to put out a small fire. For example, you might wet your forefinger and thumb and then snuff out a candle. |

Bud,
I saw some Internet examples of using cocaine snuff. I am wondering if it has other applications than the tobacco, although all the dictionaries in Onelook agree with you.
Thanks.

| I've never heard it, BMO, but it makes perfect sense. No doubt, then, it is used to distinguish the most popular form of cocaine from other forms. Nice work! |
