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?Mar 4, 2006 at 7:48 pm #1351855To 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.

Mar 5, 2006 at 12:35 pm #1351901Now 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!
