Hi Fimbriae
Both have been slang words in the past, although now fairly 'main stream'. Either can used as a verb or a noun. A snog is a kiss, probably intimate. Smooch is a little more, it may include cuddling, it may only be a cuddle. It also means a slow intimate dance and was a popular word with teenagers in the '60s.
....Come to think of it, both are popular with teenagers!  |

'Snog' is exclusively BrE, for what it's worth.
As I'm unfamiliar with its usage, I can't elaborate much on the differences, other than to point out it's purely a BrE term, where 'smooch' is used in the US.
A smooch can be anything from a quick peck, to extended lip lock, depending on context. And, of course, the amount of hormones present.

| I like using "smooch" when referring to the sound made by my shoes when walking in slush. Is this acceptable? "Smooching sound". |
