Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Tobacco smoking - Moral aspects

Communal smoking of a sacred tobacco pipe was a universal ritual through Native America. Native Americans considered tobacco a sacred part of their religion. It was grown for ceremonial use and considered the ultimate sacred plant. Tobacco smoke was believed to carry prayers to the heavens. These rituals were performed, on average, no more than once a month, which differs widely from modern smoking, which is much more frequent and usually devoid of spiritual significance. The tobacco used during these rituals varied widely in potency -- the ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Tobacco smoking - Smoking cessation

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 ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Banned films - Overview

For nearly the entire history of film and movie production, certain films have been either boycotted by political and religious groups or literally banned by a regime for political or moral reasons. Paradoxically, banning a movie often completely fails to achieve its intention of preventing a movie from being seen—the publicity given worldwide to banned movies often results in it being given attention it might not otherwise receive. With the advent of the Internet, the ability of groups or governments to ban a film is hindered. High ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Banned films - Banning versus censoring

Many governments have commissions to censor and/or rate productions for film and television exhibition. From a government standpoint, the censoring of films is more effective than banning, because it limits the scope of potentially dangerous or subversive cinema without overtly limiting freedom of speech. In the United States, there has never been national censorship. However, currently the motion picture industry maintains the MPAA Ratings, which are issued to individual films submitted to the MPAA as a means of identifying those wit ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Crush fetish - Crush films

Also known as "animal snuff films", crush films are basically footage of small animals such as insects, mammals (especially rodents) and possibly reptiles being crushed (although sometimes inanimate objects such as soft toys or food are used instead). These are underground productions which people supposedly buy for sexual pleasure, but due to the horrific cruelty dealt to animals as a result, these films have been made illegal in some regions. Jeff Vilencia is one known dir ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Copenhagen tobacco - History

George Weyman, inventor of Copenhagen snuff, opened his tobacco shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sometime during 1822. In April 1845, Weyman's tobacco shop was one of the few businesses to survive the Great Pittsburgh Fire. Tobacco manufacturing at Weyman's shop reached $30,000 annually by 1850. Nearly two decades later, George Weyman relinquished control of the shop to his sons William and Benjamin Weyman.

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Yarrow - Human uses

As mentioned above, yarrow has seen historical use as a medicine, mainly because of its astringent effects. Decoctions have been used to treat inflammations such as piles (hemorrhoids), and also headaches. It has also been thought to both stop bleeding, as well as promote it. Infusions of Yarrow, taken both internally and externally, are said to speed recovery from severe bruising. The most medicinally active part of the plant are the flowering tops.

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Dalziel and Pascoe - TV series

The novel A Pinch Of Snuff was filmed for a three-part 1993 ITV serial starring the comedy duo Gareth Hale and Norman Pace as Pascoe and Dalziel respectively. Christopher Fairbank was cast as DS Wield. The serial appears to have been an attempt to replicate the success of another such duo, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster, but Reginald Hill was not happy with the adaptation, and it remained a one-off. A more successful series of adaptations began on the BBC in March 1996 with an adaptation of the first n ...

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Tobacco industry - Current state of affairs

The tobacco industry generally refers to the companies involved in the manufacture of cigarettes, cigars, snuff, chewing and pipe tobacco.

Snuff: Encyclopedia II - Vladimir Odoevsky - Short stories

Aspiring to imitate Ludwig Tieck and Novalis, Odoevsky published a number of tales for children (e.g., "The Snuff-Box Town" and "The Traveller-Frog") and fantastical stories for adults (e.g., "Cosmorama" and "Salamandra") imbued with the vague mysticism in the vein of Jakob Boehme and Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin. Following the success of Pushkin's The Queen of Spades, Odoevsky wrote a number of similar stories on the dissipated life of Russian aristocracy (e.g., Princess Mimi and Princess Zizi). On account of his many short stories from the 1820s and 1830s, Odoevsky should be listed among the ...
