Consumer technology
Which was launched in line intoxicants (eng. Line ) is absorbed here by breathing in through the nose and it shuts the other nostril. It is common for the powder to be formed into the correct shape using a credit card or a blade on a smooth surface (e.g. a mirror). It can also be used to grind larger grains into powder and mix different substances (e.g. with a speedball ).
Tube types
The method of building a snuff tube by rolling up a banknote or piece of paper is widely used. However, tubes made of various materials (for example glass and plastic) are also produced commercially or other tubular utensils (for example ballpoint pen housings and drinking straws) are misused.
hazards
If several people use a sniffle at the same time, it can lead to the transmission of pathogens. This is especially true for long-term users, as they are more likely to have injuries to their nasal mucous membranes than occasional users. The sharing of sharp-edged snuff tubes (e.g. cut plastic straws) poses a high risk of infection, as the nasal mucous membranes can be easily injured. Therefore, the rules of safer sniffing should be followed during the sniffing process.
