Snus banned in EU?

Snus is banned in the EU and can't be delivered to certain US states?

I'm baffled how snus is banned in the EU and smoking is not. Makes no sense! As a safer tobacco product, snus should not be banned. How do they get away with this?

What's next, ban all tobacco from the entire world? Ban all "health risk" products we take in? Ban alcohol for liver issues that can occur. Ban Coca Cola and other soda for it's caffeine, which is a stimulant that can cause cardiovascular issues by raising heart rate and blood pressure?Ban sweets/candy for sugar, which in excess may cause the onset of diabetes in some? Ban automobiles because they off toxic exhaust fumes, adding to the worlds pollution that harms us all? Let's also go after the pharmaceutical companies and ban prescription medications as most can cause serious health risk side effects.

While we are at it, let's ban and somehow permanently block the sun from the sky because to much exposure on the skin can cause cancer.

I don't see these and so many others that are "bad" for us getting banned. Why is that?

For crying out loud!

By the year 2010, Everything will be banned. Everybody will live in private plastic bubbles with a filtered air supply and will only survive off of food introduced via an IV. Life will be boring at best, and the health risks have yet to be determined. All air and food for personal bubbles will be supplied by the Government and taxed at the same rate that cigarettes used to be taxed years earlier.

Cars have also been banned. Everybody must roll their bubble like a hamster-ball to and from work. If your bubble pops while traveling, you will be charged a decontamination tax to refill it.

By the year 2098, the EU (Earthen Union) will ban life as a whole. Satellites will spray laser beams down and exterminate all.

Sounds like fun!
