smutching

— The Spaniards and Iriſh take [Tobacco] moſt in Powder or Smutching, and it mightily refreſhes the Brain, and I believe there's as much taken this way in Ireland, at [sic] there is in Pipes in England: One ſhall commonly ſee the Serving-maid upon the Waſhing-block, and the Swain upon the Plow-ſhare; when they are overtir'd with Labour, take out one of their Boxes of Smutching, and draw it into their Noſtrils with a Quil, and it will beget new Spirits in them with a freſh Vigour to fall to their work again.
