What is it? Mint Snuff Chew is a non-tobacco edible chew made of mint instead of tobacco. It is safe to eat and has helped thousands of dippers to quit. Mint Snuff Chew is available in Mint, Wintergreen, Cinnamon, and Spearmint.  \n\nIt's harmless yes, and you don't have to be eighteen since it's not a tobacco product.

The question is a little vague, but here goes:\n\nAs the former poster said, you're an "adult" at 18 in California.  You can enter into contracts, buy cigarettes, and be housed in county jail when you break the law.  However, you cannot purchase or consume alcohol, or drive a motor vehicle with any alcohol in your blood.  You can vote, and you can enlist in the military (think many of these things are the same in all states).\n\nAt 21, you can purchase and consume alcohol, and it would even be legal for you to drive with less than a .08% blood alcohol level (except in a few situations).  Right off the top of my head, the only difference between the two ages is the 21 year old can buy booze...there may be others, but they're escaping me at the moment.

Only if you're under 18

You have to be 18 to buy them as everyone else has said but I doubt that a minor could get locked up for smoking a cigarette.

http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/LegalDrinkingAge.html has a lengthy discussion on the legal drinking age in the U.S. In particular:\n\nThe National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required all states to raise their minimum purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21. States that did not comply faced a reduction in highway funds under the Federal Highway Aid Act.... It does not prohibit persons under 21 (also called youth or minors) from drinking. The term "public possession" is strictly defined and does not apply to possession for the following:\n\n    * An established religious purpose, when accompanied by a parent, spouse or legal guardian age 21 or older\n    * Medical purposes when prescribed or administered by a licensed physician, pharmacist, dentist, nurse, hospital or medical institution\n    * In private clubs or establishments\n    * In the course of lawful employment by a duly licensed manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer.” \n\nMany of the states that have chosen to specifically prohibit alcohol consumption by those under age 21 have a variety of exceptions. For example,\n\n    Some States allow an exception for consumption when a family member consents and/or is present. States vary widely in terms of which relatives may consent or must be present for this exception to apply and in what circumstances the exception applies. Sometimes a reference is made simply to "family" or "family member" without further elaboration.\n\n    ....\n\n    Some States allow an exception for consumption on private property. States vary in the extent of the private property exception which may extend to all private locations, private residences only, or in the home of a parent or guardian only. In some jurisdictions, the location exception is conditional on the presence and/or consent of the parent, legal guardian, or legal-age spouse.\n\n    Some States also allow exceptions for educational purposes (e.g., students in culinary schools), religious purposes (e.g., sacramental use of alcoholic beverages), or medical purposes.\n\nAccording to their map, consumption of alcohol is prohibited with exceptions in Oregon.

I don't think so. I don't think one should be allowed to do a bunch of the things that are legal at 18...Voting, Smoking, Entering the military.. I think that at least when your 21 you are mature enough to handle these kind of things.

it's viewed as being for teenagers, but there's no official upper age limit - if you wanna use it, use it. the children on there just get all cranky about people who're older than 19 using the site when they haven't had their milk and cookies in the morning.

It depends on what country you're in.  In some countries it's illegal for minors to smoke; in others it's not.  In the U.S., it is not illegal in any state for a minor to smoke cigarettes (but it is a misdemeanor in some states for a retailer to sell cigarettes to a minor).

Have someone buy you a case.  Wait til you turn 18.

It is completely legal to grow your own tobacco. Even if you are under 18, you just can't smoke it. You need a license to sell it.

I bet there's nothing illegal about it. They say it's "herb" that you can smoke, they never say specifically what kind of "herb".

Actually, it depends on what state you are in. Yeah, 18 is legal anywhere, but in some places it would be okay for someone who is 26 to be with someone who is 16.

Snuff is just as harmful as any other type of tobacco.  It will cause cancer.  Why don't you try to stay away from tobacco all together?

That would be illegal, so unless you're willing to break the law and risk arrest, I'd suggest buying it. It's only $50 at most stores.

You might be interested in a UK perspective: in the UK, you may legally drink alcohol from the age of 5 - i.e. you may be given alcohol to drink by your parents etc. in your own home etc.\n\nYou may not drink alcohol in a pub or restuarant until you're 18 (or 16 if it's with a meal).\n\nYou may not buy alcohol until you're 18.\n\nIt's interesting that the US has such (from my point of view) restrictive laws on the subject - particularly because you might think that all 18-21 year olds, when given the chance to vote, would try to change the law. I suppose it is the apathy of young voters (which is an issue in the UK too) which means that 18-21 year olds punch below their weight when it comes to politics.\n\nI personally don't buy the 'your brain isn't developed until you're 21' argument, and I can definitely sympathise with the 'if you can die for your country, you should be able to drink'. Although you could presumably extend the argument to practically anything that might cause harm to you but that doesn't harm anyone else.

I'm Canadian and it's legal in my Province but it is NOT sold in any stores let alone in cigarette packs so pay no attention to the person above me. Also, when you try to take it back across the border to get back to the USA be prepared to be arrested.
