FIL: Pinong pulbos na gawa sa dinurog na dahon ng tabako na karaniwang sinisinghot sa ilong.
EN: snuff; powdered tobacco
The old-school lolo's version of vaping. Before Juuls and pods, there was this stuff. You don't smoke it, you snort it. It's like the 18th-century way to get a nicotine hit and probably sneeze your brains out.
From `pulbos` (powder) and `tabako` (tobacco).
This is a historical item and is rarely used today in the Philippines, but the term is understood.
