The anatomical snuff box is a depression on the back of the hand, just beneath the thumb, that is formed by three tendons. When snuff was popular, this small compartment could be used as a place to hold the tobacco for snorting. The two tendons it consists of are the tendons of the muscles extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus laterally. Medially, the bordering tendon is that of the extensor pollicis longus muscle. Therefore the snuff box is visible when the thumb (pollux/pollicis) is dorsally flexed. The bodies of these muscles ...

Boxes are highly variable receptacles. When no shape is described, a typical cuboid box may be expected. Nevertheless, a box may have a horizontal cross-section that is square, elongated, round or oval; sloped or domed top surfaces, or non-vertical sides. A box normally may be opened by raising, sliding or removing the lid, which may be hinged and/or fastened by a catch, hasp, or lock. Whatever its shape or purpose or the material of which it is fashioned, it is the direct descendant of the chest, one of the most ancient articles of d ...

In the Mahabharata, the gandiva is a magical bow given to Arjuna by Agni, God of Fire. Arjuna intervened on the behalf of the gluttonous and sickened Agni, who needed to consume a forest to heal himself. The bow was used by Arjuna to prevent Indra, the King of the Gods, from causing rain to snuff out Angi's fire and thus allow him to consume the forest. Agni then granted this bow to Arjuna, where he used it to slay many warriors, including Karna. Other related archivesAgni, Arjuna, Kar

But it is as a receptacle for snuff that the box has taken its most distinguished and artistic forms in Western culture. The snuff-box, which is now little more than a charming relic of a disagreeable practice, was throughout the larger part of the 18th century the indispensable companion of every man of birth and breeding. It long survived his sword, and was in frequent use until nearly the middle of the 19th century. The jeweller, the enameller and the artist bestowed infinite pains upon what was quite as often a delicate bijou as a ...

Tobacco - Snuff. Snuff is a generic term for fine-ground smokeless tobacco products. Originally the term referred only to dry snuff, a fine tan dust popular mainly in the eighteenth century. This is often called "Scotch Snuff", a folk-etymology derivation of the scorching process used to dry the cured tobacco by the factory. European (dry) snuff is intended to be sniffed up the nose. Snuff is not "snorted" due to the fact that you do not want the snuff to get past the nose i.e.; into sinuses, ...

Tobacco - Sowing. Tobacco seeds are started very early in the year. The seeds are scattered onto the surface of the soil, as their germination is activated by light.

Seedbeds were then covered with branches to protect the young plants from frost damage. These plant ...

Native Americans used tobacco before Europeans arrived in America, and early European settlers in America learned to smoke and brought the practice back to Europe, where it became hugely popular. At extremely high doses, tobacco becomes hallucinogenic; accordingly, Native Americans generally did not use the drug recreationally. Rather, it was often consumed in extraordinarily high quantities and used as an entheogen; generally, this was done only by experienced shamans or medicine men. In addition to being smoked, uncured tobacco was often e ...

Many of tobacco's health effects can be minimised through smoking cessation. The "British doctors study" [3] showed that those who stopped smoking before they reached 30 years of age lived almost as long as those who never smoked. It is also possible to help reduce the risks by reducing the frequency of smoking and by proper diet and exercise. Some research has indicated that some of the damage caused by smoking t ...
