A PINCH OF SNUFF
THE JOHNSTON COLLECTION
By Denise Way
Snuff was the 17th century word for powdered tobacco. It was brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage to the Americas in 1496. Following the introduction of this mysterious powder to Europe, taking snuff by inhaling it through the nostrils soon became popular. Its use in England grew after Charles II returned from exile in France bringing the habit with him.
