Snuff

Snuff is a kind of tobacco which is sniffed instead of smoked.  People take a bit of snuff between their fingers and put it in their nostrils to smell it.  Not many people use snuff now, but a century or more ago it was very common.  In the novels of 19th century authors like Charles Dickens we often read about people taking snuff.  They kept it in a "snuffbox".
