I loved that segment when I watched the episode -- Ross Noble putting the whole tin directly on his face had me rolling.

I am pretty strongly anti-smoking, and this made me wonder why smokers (especially those that already want to quit) don't try to switch to snuff more often. Why isn't there some sort of movement to promote that? Shit-stain handkerchiefs and slight increase in naso-pharyngeal cancer rates seems like an easy trade to make over smelling horrendous, greatly increased lung cancer rates for yourself and probably loved ones as well, etc. etc.

Maybe in some of those places in the US where state and local governments are trying to curb smoking rates via extreme taxes or outright public-space bans, they should be promoting or providing a (comparative) tax break for snuff. I'd happily wander through a crowd of brown-handkerchief folks loitering around entrances to public buildings instead of a noxious smoke-cloud.

That is an observation of a logical mind. If smokers were logical, they wouldn't have become smokers in the first place.

Dear BBC America: THIS, PLEASE.

Fox would get ahold of it and would make someone like Ke$ha the host. Nobody would watch it after the first two weeks and it would get canceled.

The only way this would work is if they got like Bill Nye to host it or Neil DeGrasse Tyson or something and even THEN nobody would watch it unless they put it on after Big Bang Theory or something.
