Snus Ban in Russia?

[trebli]

Does anyone know what to make of this?

"Recently, the State Duma of Russia drafted a bill as per which a total ban on snus will come into force on 1 June 2013 on the territory of Russia"

I am to lazy to explain but only oral tobacco aloud in Russia is now Snus and I think chewing tobacco everything else is forbidden - it was suggested to forbid snus as well but it didn't pass truw

Hi everyone. i'm from Russia.
The law banning public smoking has been passed by the Russian State Duma and the president of the Russian Federation. It also restricts distribution, advertising and sponsorship by tobacco manufacturers. The law does not ban snus. The law stipulates that the general public must be protected against the consequences of using tobacco including the sucking type. However, the law does not directly ban snus manufacturing, legal distribution or using. It directly bans selling and using nasvay. However, as we are all aware, it is not snus.

?nasvay? http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthre...tan-Uzbekistan

[atwarn]

yes, nasvay or naswar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naswar
nasvay has been banned due to potential health harm.
nasvay has never been officialy imported to Russia.
and it's always importes illegally and distributed by the migrants and guest workers from the east.
