    Hello from Switzerland

    Just wanted to say hi to everyone from Switzerland - where snus is illegal to sell/buy in-store, but not for import (which is unlike the EU, which the Swiss aren't members of), so my business just goes overseas to Sweden as opposed to Swiss merchants (the law may change but it's going to take a while)!

    I'm surprised that Switzerland adheres to the EU snus ruling because you do everything else so well and you're outside of it all.

    Welcome from the UK.

        Welcome. Perhaps you can clear a personal question of mine. I'm learning german and am told I would have a hard time understanding the swiss because of my learning of hock-deutsch. ist das richtig oder falsch?

          yeah, you'd probably have difficulty with swiss german. it's a slower german and also a bit different in some ways than what you would find in germany. most can get by but you would notice the difference. same thing with french - those from france find what's spoken in switzerland to be slower.

          anyway, hopefully the snus law will change here. there's a movement to change it since the rational for it not being sold here makes no sense - esp since we don't have to go with the EU standards. I think it'll eventually change, but may take a couple of years. luckily it's still ok to import!

              That is why I have always found it easier to understand the swiss, you don't speak at a million miles per hour so I have time to think and respond! lol
