EU Sues Denmark for Not Outlawing Snus

[Skell18]

I don't know if you can get it in other countries - but we've just had the most brilliant satire of the whole EU problem distilled in to a 45 minute radio programme on the BBC. It's called The Great Squanderland Roof (squander land = Ireland in this case!)

If you can get the link to work - do have a listen - it shows up just how ridiculous today's EU is!

I listened to that, very good.

Thanks, it helped me make sense out of it all. Sounds almost as screwed up as the U.S.

Will this mean that Northerner can not ship V2 snus from the Danish warehouse?

Perhaps it just restricts Denmark's domestic consumption.


Welcome to Snuson.

Hi and thanks for the answer. Still thinks its very strange, because if it will be forbidden in Denmark and only domestic, so how can Northerner buy from V2 domestic and then ship it within EU. Will Denmark only have the restriction for domestic, but they can still sell to the EU? Sweden can not sell to EU. All seems very strange!?

The snus ban only applies to snus made in Sweden and sold from there, it's all about loopholes!

[Goran]

So what you say is that snus made in Denmark, can still be sold from Denmark to EU?

[squeezyjohn]

Yes ... and we can legally buy Thunder in shops in the UK ... as long as it's called chewing tobacco on the label ... not snus.

[Goran]

I mean Snus, not chewing tobacco, which I know exists, but I dont like. I want snus!

You can buy snus as long as you promise that you're going to chew it, that's why Odensnus sells directly from Sweden to EU

I've never tried that Thunder Chew, but from what I read on some websites it is actually snus, just a way to pass through the stupid EU laws.

[Goran]

But V2 is selling portions to Northerner in Denmark, and northerner Denmark send it to EU. I am getting mixed up what will be for the future for the EU clients if Denmark will close.

Don't you chew your snus? Nom nom nom.

It's such an infantile face palming situation. How do you define what you do with snus? I chew it, I suck it and I don't chew it also.....just the same as chewing tobacco. So what is the difference? It's tobacco and you shove it in your mouth.....what else does one do with one's mouth? (Whalen need not reply).

roll on the caliphate?

[squeezyjohn]

I'm not sure that will help this particular cause alopezg1! And I think it would be the nail in the coffin of the traditional English pub!

How the hell would I bring home the bacon?
