Why is that nasal snuff is practically unknown in the US?

It is much cheaper than cigarettes, and has no "second-hand" smoke that might annoy people.
And yet it can't be found in stores.
The whole Tobacco Question seems to be overblown and contrived.
The lawsuits seem to be more about states and lawyers getting a cut of the massive cigarette industry.
Which might be seriously damaged if the use of snuff or even of pipes came back into vogue.
How are fashions manipulated by mass-marketing to create such absurd situations, where less lucrative products can be made to disappear from the shelves?
A similar situation seems to exist in the clothing industry. Labels can command incredible premiums, yet I can get an Armani suit for under $10 at a thrift store? What sort of psychological manipulation is being used to achieve these results?
