Have you tried snuff? It smells quite nice and can help clear your nose as well as deliver nicotine.

I haven't. I did switch to a pipe, however, which works marvelously at delivering nicotine, in addition to smelling better, and carrying better social connotations. (Like snuff, it does carry a higher risk of oral cancer, but that's not -quite- as deadly.)

Note, according to my 30 seconds google scholar search, it is dipping/oral snuff that causes a higher risk of oral cancer. Nasal snuff seems safer (or perhaps less well researched).
