It is possible to obtain a stimulating powder to snort on the Internet or in certain tobacco shops. It reminds some of drugs given the price per gram (10 euros). The Ministry of Health has taken up the matter.
An energy booster. Legal product composed of amino acids, available with a strawberry or mint flavor, it is sold in a tiny jar sold at tobacconists. But barely arrived on the market, Sniffy gets people talking. This white powder is inhaled in the same way as cocaine, as shown in its social media advertisements. With this powder, the user is supposed to develop their muscular capacities, multiply their energy, but also improve their concentration. According to some, the product is confusing and looks like a drug.
Theoretically, Sniffy cannot be sold to under 18s, but it is young people who are targeted by the marketing. A scandalous practice according to addictologist Amine Benyamina. This disturbing product also generates anger among the Minister for Health, Frédéric Valletoux. “I will actually see in the coming days how we can ban this type of things“, did he declare. This product may be banned because it induces behavior dangerous to health.
