“The Swedish government has given up its efforts to force the European Union to scrap its ban on the export of snus. According to Sweden’s position, if the EU refuses to scrap the snus export ban, then the EU shouldn’t get involved in rules regarding flavour additives and ingredients used in snus sold in Sweden. Snus, is a tobacco product invented in Sweden in the early 1800s. While maintaining its popularity, it has been on the rise in Sweden after smoking was banned in restaurants in 2005. The Swedish government has for years been trying to sway the EU to allow snuff to be exported in Europe, referring to laws on free movement as well as public health.”
