Is verboden in Europa, enkel Zweden maakt de uitzondering momenteel. Er is wel een lobby die het verbod wil opheffen, maar reken er niet op
"EU
The sale of moist snuff was banned by the EU (then known as the EC) in 1992, primarily on the assumption that the product could cause cancer. Sweden was exempted from this ban upon its entry into the EU in 1995. Several Swedish studies have shown that suspicions concerning the carcinogenic effects of snus lack scientific support. During the year, the EU authorities therefore decided to remove cancer warnings from packages of smokeless tobacco, including snus. This should be a step in the direction of the EU ban being lifted by political means, particularly since its legal foundation is highly questionable."
