Snus users in Switzerland can thank me, Moe Unz, because you can still buy your snus legally at the SnusCentral.com Snus Shop!

Catching even Swiss legislators and consumers by surprise, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) redefined the definition of "smokeless tobacco" to specifically ban everything except actual chewing tobacco and similarly packaged products sold over the counter in Swiss stores.

The 23 Aug 2016 ban included products similar to snus but labelled "Chewing Tobacco" or "Kautabak". For some crazy reason, it also allows the sale of the clay-like Makla products which contain significant amounts of substances dangerous to your health.

I was packing my broom and preparing to travel to Switzerland to beat the bureaucrats at BAG over the head repeatedly when I received good news.

For fear not, Swiss snusers; the BAG ban also explicitly confirms that the earlier recommendations regarding the private import of snus into Switzerland are exempt from the new interpretation of Article 5 in the 27 October 2004 Decree on Tobacco Products.  Specifically,

(...) Concerning the import of tobacco for oral use, the recommendations made with informational document no. 96, "Private use of oral tobacco", dated 3 June 2013 still apply. (...)"

According to my very expensive Swiss lawyers, this means that you may still import snus for private use into Switzerland.  This is subject to the 1.2 kg tobacco weight limit per order but that is a lot of snus!

So my Swiss friends, have your pick from our selection of hundreds of fresh snus offerings from Sweden and Denmark right here at SnusCentral.com!
