Stay Legal in the EU

Although it is inconvenient that snus is not available online for the Snusers in the EU from Swedish Snus shops I am now resigned to the fact that maybe it is a good thing in terms of keeping Belgium happy whilst they make their decision on the current tobacco directive.

I am sure we can source smokeless tobacco from shops outside of the EU no problem but what about Swedish Snus.     As some you may know I made a couple of trips to Sweden last year.  But did you know that I am still using the snus I brought back from the those trips. It keeps fresh in the freezer.

Given that you can fly cheap as chips with Ryan Air you can in theory get 6 months supply of snus in one trip.  You can legally bring Snus back home with you as long as it is for your own use and not intended for resale.

Given that Sweden is a great place to visit why not just go for  4 weekend breaks over the next 2 years.  By the end of 2014 there will be the final decision on whether or not the ban gets lifted.   Invest in a big freezer and keep that snus fresh.

You can see the sights, enjoy the culture, fika etc.
