PIPE
The pipe may be the oldest way of smoking. According to relevant archaeological remains, the primitive inhabitants of America believed that the thick smoke produced by burning leaves could communicate with the gods, so they invented the pipe as a ritual tool for priests, and inhaling the smoke produced by burning was a part of the sacrifice.
Later, tobacco and pipes were brought to Europe by Columbus's fleet and became a fashion. To this day, pipe smoking is still a very British way of smoking.
NASOPHARYNX
Snuff is made of tobacco powder and was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty. It was very popular at the time and was an absolute luxury. When using it, you can put the snuff bottle under your nostrils to absorb the powder.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", there is a plot where Qingwen takes snuff to cure a cold. There is an old Beijing proverb: "Buy snuff but don't smell it - just pretend to play", which is often used to mock those who pretend to be experts.
NICOTINE POUCH

E-CIGARETTE
