This document discusses snuff, a powdered form of smokeless tobacco. It notes that while most snuff users are men, no form of tobacco is healthy as they all carry health risks like cancer. The document lists chemicals found in snuff like formaldehyde, nicotine, and cyanide. Using snuff can increase risks of heart attacks, strokes, and other health issues. While many companies produce snuff, the average price is between $5-10 per tin. However, snuff is addictive so the total costs of using it may be higher.
