From the Wiki article on snuff.
Oral snuff, in the form of dipping tobacco and snus is banned from all countries of the European Union, except Sweden and Norway, where the sale of snuff is legal.
WHY? That doesn't make any sense. Snuff affects no-one but the imbiber. Lit cigarettes/cigars/pipes/hookahs effect everyone in the vicinity, whether they want to be affected or not.
*bangs head on wall*
Why don't tobacco companies heavily market these smokeless alternatives? It would make everyone much happier. Those that don't want to inhale smoke wouldn't have reason to bitch all the time and worry about the health effects of passive smoking, and smokers/nicotine addicts could have their drug fix without bugging everyone around them and having to deal with the subsequent bitching.
