Our website - www.tscpl.org Twitter - http Facebook - www.facebook.com It's week 46 of our Kansas sesquicentennial video series and also National Drug Facts Week, so we thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at our Chinese snuff bottle collection. Snuff is a smokeless tobacco containing nicotine made of ground tobacco leaves. It is inhaled—or "snuffed"—through the nose.
