    Because nothing says healthy living like snorting snuff or smoking tobacco…..
    I’m not knocking you…but I rarely run into smokers anymore in the backcountry-most quit so they could have healthier lives and lungs. I know I did years ago!
    Snuff and any smokeless tobaco is very dangerous to mess with. More addicting and yum, cancers of the nose?

    To each his own! I don’t smoke cigarettes anymore but I generally take a few good quality cigars with me when I hit the trail. If the weather is nice and once I get dinner out of the way after a day of hiking, I like to relax with a cigar and listen to all the sounds of the woods. VERY relaxing and a great way to finish off the day.

    that is why I just bring a nice pint of Single Malt Highland Whiskey. I too enjoy listening to sounds and a few swigs of top notch whiskey does it for me.

    Now that’s a great idea! I have never brought alkehol with me in the backcountry. Perhaps next trip I’ll pack in some Lagavulin to go along with my Don Carlos cigars!

    Arthur – Give nicotine gum a shot. I used to smoke, quit about 7 months ago, but I really enjoy a piece of this gum at camp after a long hike. Plus its loads healthier than snuff or dip.

    nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, and your feet will be colder at night. Also, coupled with the limited activity in a tent/sleepingbag, you’re more likely to get blood clots if you smoke. It also dulls you sense of smell considerably.
