snuff
Pinch for inhaling
Snuff is most frequently a verb, with two main meanings.
The first is to take something in through the nose by inhaling, such as a powder or drug, while the second is to extinguish a candle, torch, or other burning thing but cutting off its air supply.
The noun snuff is usually for finely powdered tobacco, inhaled through the nose.
An unrelated slang use of snuff means to kill or execute.
A snuff film is one in which someone is actually killed.
