FDA Implications for Snus in America

8) there will be a black SUV sitting directly across from the gas station at exactly 3 a.m. Do NOT approach. Circle the block 3 times, flashing your high beams exactly 4 times. On the 4th pass, roll down your passenger window and drive by slowly. The package will be delivered. Drive away at a normal rate of speed and forget you ever saw me.


Sincerely,
Your Local Snus Importer!


Can't you just imagine having to buy snus like it was pot, or cocaine....what the hell is wrong with our so called leaders....we have ILLEGAL drugs running a muck in this country, 10 year olds smoking Crystal Meth at SCHOOL, and they're worried about some damn tobacco??? Get a grip...stupid...just stupid...when's the last time someone got killed over a few ozs of tobacco? Now when's the last time someone was brutally murdered over an oz of cocaine or crack?

When will they prioritize this country....gesh

:Rant over:

I'll feel greatly relieved if it turns out to be that easy.

Doesn't EU already have a fat tax? Some guy tried to sue McDonald's over obesity but I'm pretty sure it got thrown out.

an oldie but a goodie...
"Meiner was particularly upset by a local newspaper ad that she said read, “Use it in a car, in a house, in a bar.”

“It kind of sounds like a Dr. Seuss rhyme scheme,” Meiner said."

Holy crap, that's hilarious. It rhymes! It MUST be targeted to kids! Adults hate rhymes!

Man, there's nothing like a big plate of FUD for lunch, is there?

I wonder what Swedish Match actually thinks of this. It must be a BIG pain in the ass. I can't imagine having the government try to force away your business and especially with their utmost (but expected) ignorance. I really don't know how I'll live without snus which I have so quickly formed a friendship with. If nothing else, they'll put an extra tax on it. UGH!

Have you guys noticed that alot of bills today use the term "Family" or "Families" in them? Because that isn't a marketing ploy.

Okay, so honestly, what the **** are we going to do?.........Make our own?

Absolutely. Do you know of any other way to get the government the FLUCK out of our tobacco usage business?

Haha, just go get a skoal or cope container. Throw in the snus, they would have no idea.

Again ignorance reigns supreme. Snus a Camel invention???

According to the idiots, I guess this can of Swedish snus made in Chicago in the late 1800's is just a figment of my imagination then huh?



:twisted:

Omg, that is definitely targeted to children. The round design especially? What else is round? Bubbles, exactly. Kids like bubbles, bubbles are round, this snus can is round. Therefore round snus can get interpreted to bubbles which targets their child demographic in the 1800's.

Oh, but it doesn't stop there.

Look how it's made from cardboard. What else is made from cardboard in the 1800's? Boxes. What do boxes have in them sometimes, especially around the month of December? You guessed it, toys. Round cardboard snus can = toys for children. Unbelievable.

And let's not go into the anchor on the can. The anchor obviously inspired many things. Let's go into it a little..

Boats - Kids love toy boats. Anchors are on boats. Im disgusted.

Popeye - Yep, 119 (Year 1919, to be exact) years later this can (Probably used by a kid) was inspired to create the famous cartoon character, Popeye. Then the kids fell in love with Popeye, who then went on to use more snus with this anchor on it's lid. It was a win-win situation.

You people disgust me.

I love you guys!

Hush your mouth!!

The tobacco zealots aren't smart enough to recognize satire if it ran over them packed on a truck. They'll grab onto that, and get the equally simple politicians on board with them. We'll be in for a shit storm during the next session :^O
