Many people confuse Schneeberg with traditional tobacco snuff. Here's everything you need to know about what makes Schneeberg completely different.

# Schneeberg vs. Tobacco Snuff: Understanding the Key Differences

One of the most common misconceptions about Schneeberg is that it's similar to tobacco snuff. This confusion makes sense — both come in small tins, both are used nasally — but that's where the similarities end.

Let's break down exactly what makes Schneeberg different.
