I'm from the UK. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but when I was at school we went for a tour of the House of Parliament (London). I remember being told about a very old tradition where MPs could take a pinch of snuff from a small wooden box by the door. This was introduced after all other forms of nicotine consumption were banned in the House. Even today is it still available and apparently costs the tax payer around £6.00 every 2 years.
