snuffs
Puts out candles
Snuffs is the plural of snuff, powdered tobacco inhaled through the nose, or instances of snuffing—extinguishing a flame or cutting the charred wick of a candle.
To snuff something out is to end it abruptly: The regime snuffed out all opposition.
In slang, snuff films allegedly depict real killings, though most are hoaxes or urban legend.
