      this is gonna be more and more. it`s soon illegal to use any type of tobacco here in norway. they are planning to set the age limit higher and higher, untill there are no more people starting to use.

        shop keeper i'm sorry you do not look over 50 years old to me so you need to fill out some forms 256z/1318x and a xyz28 and get a letter from your great-grandparents too confirm your over the age limit, have a nice day do come agan.

              Just noticed re Northerner that even if you switch to the US warehouse you can still only order V2 snus from the EU warehouse :-o

                I don't understand it, and i think there's more to it than Snusworldwide getting off scot free. Even if they didn't know the rules for selling Snus within the EU, the stupid rules and regulations still exist don't they? Why weren't they enforced??? I'd love to know the real reason they got off, and i don't think it was because of their ignorance. I'm delighted they got off, but now other Snus websites have to be very careful, and can't say they are unaware of the rules.

                  I agree - It's really odd.
                  I mean I can't just sell drugs and say "woopsies, didn't know that was illegal" - I know it's quite different, but same principle. They must've had one hell of a lawyer!

                          A challenege could be mounted on those grounds, but I think it has been attmepted before and was unsucessful. Not too sure about it. I am bulk buying now and stocking up till 2014 when the ban should be lifted when the tobacco directive is reviewed.

                              I guess you have all had the email from northerner ?

                              If not, this is what it said

                              We know that a lot of you are wondering what is going on and why most of the brands have been made unavailable for the customers in the EU. We are going the clear things up for you and as always there are bad news and there are good news.

                              One of our competitors were brought to court and charged for selling snus illegally to customers in the EU. The verdict was announced yesterday and luckily they were acquitted since the court found the law on this matter to be unclear.

                              But from now on the law is no longer unclear and from today it is against the law to ship snus from Sweden to customers in the EU. This means that we had to stop selling snus to our EU customers as of today. All orders that have been made will ofcourse be shipped out.

                              But all news are not bad. We have found an other legal way to go on supplying you. We are now sending snus to the EU customers from an other european country. There will only be a limited range availabe but there will be no problems with customs and as it happens you will end up paying less for the snus you are purchasing.

                              All snus from V2 Tobacco will be available at the new warehouse. That is Thunder, Offroad, Phantom, SnusX, BaccOff, and Megapole. There is also a brand new product called DOS available.

                              We also know that some of you are worried that you will not be able to order snus like Jakobssons, Northerner and Odens anymore. You do not have to worry. We have arranged so that you can order those brand from our US warehouse. You will actually end up paying less for Odens, Jakobssons and the Northerner brands.

                              Check out flat pack section to se what you can order from the US warehouse. Just remember to change the warehouse view at the top left of the site to see the products at the US warehouse. So you see that all changes are not bad.

                              And one last thing. We are not charging you anything for shipping on all produts from the european warehouse for the rest of this week. That's right, Free Shipping from the european warehouse for the rest of this week.
                              What a load of F***ing shit
