What does SNUFF mean in Scrabble?
noun
Finely ground tobacco intended to be inhaled through the nose rather than smoked.
Taking snuff was once a fashionable habit across Europe, carried in small decorated boxes and sniffed for a quick jolt of nicotine without lighting anything on fire. The word is also used as a verb in the phrase to snuff out a candle, meaning to extinguish its flame by pinching or covering it, and by extension to snuff out an idea or a life means to end it abruptly. Both senses share the idea of stopping something sharply, whether a flame or a habit.

The tobacco sense is now largely historical in everyday life, while the verb phrase snuff out remains common in figurative use.
