No More EU To EU Snus Sales! (EU Members Please Read!)

[muddyfunkstar]

So what IS the score here???????? What is actually happening??

Your guess is as good as mine, but I predict a long drawn out legal battle before any actual light is shed.

I intend to continue keeping my head down, my lip full, and hoping for the best.

Nothing dramatic yet, Frosted, but we have to prepare for very tough times ahead. We can still order snus online from vendors who are willing to sell, the question is how for long will they be able to sell.

Hadn't visited here for a long time but have remained a dedicated snusser throughout. Came back here last weekend after nearly having a major sphincter alert when I tried to order my next batch. Thanks to everyone for trying to dig up info. I've got an order for grovsnus coming from the US and Skruf from Germany. Apparently both have been dispatched. I'll let you know how I get on (though I live in Spain, the info is probably not of much use to you).

BTW. If any of you know someone who lives in Gibraltar deliveries there would be no problem. Just a thought.

Anyway, felt the need for a tantrum (worse than my kids when it comes to something like this). Sent a love letter to what seems to be the group behind the action in Finland. Here it is

That article is shocking.

Quote: "There have recently been indications that snus is being forced on consumers when there is no spontaneous demand for the product."

WTF, How can you force anything on a consumer? Are renegade Swedish SWAT* teams crossing the border and forcing portions into mouths?

So Mr Rautalahti would have everybody that uses snus go back to smoking. I thought you were supposed to be bright Mr Rautalahtitatilatialrirlataicock.

He belongs to this 'MEPs against Cancer' group clearly with no grasp of harm reduction.

*Sweeping generalisation alert*

Finland does seem to have a massive chip on it's shoulder when it comes to Sweden, doesn't it?

[muddyfunkstar]

Finland, it's like the Wales of Scandinavia.

Do you think writing a letter to these F***Heads is going to make a difference? I know
what happened is shocking, but these people have a twisted view on Snus based on ignorance and lies. I think we,d be just banging our heads against the wall, they couldn,t
care less about how we feel. Wheres Swedish match? i want to know what they have say
on the matter.

That's pretty awful GN. It sounds quite corrupt as well - it stinks to me. It shouldn't be down to one organisation to decide for the whole of Europe.
