what is queen charlotte sniffing

In the TV series "Bridgerton," Queen Charlotte is seen sniffing a substance in multiple scenes. Some viewers assumed that she was using cocaine, but it was actually snuff, an early form of tobacco ingested through the nose. The real Queen Charlottes snuff habit earned her the nickname "Snuffy Charlotte". Snuff is a form of pulverized or finely chopped tobacco that gives users a concentrated hit of nicotine when ingested by breathing through the nose. In the show, the substance that the actress Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, inhaled was a kind of sugar that looked like snuff, as there was no snuff to be found on the set.
