Etymology
The word 'rappee' originated from the French word 'râpé', which means grated or scraped. It refers to the finely ground tobacco that is used in rappee snuff. Rappee was popular in the 18th century, especially among the upper class in Europe. The strong flavor and the act of inhaling the tobacco through the nose made rappee a unique form of tobacco consumption. While its popularity has declined over the years, rappee still holds a place in the history of tobacco use.
