The point of snus is also that it will not cause lung disease, and unlike with smoking, people in the vicinity won't risk being affected by passive smoke inhalation. Snus was banned in the EU in 1993 - upon Sweden's accession into the EU in 1995, the country was exempt from the ban and it is still allowed here. It's also why Sweden has the lowest percentage of smokers in the EU, with just 9.3% of Swedes smoking on a daily basis, compared to the EU average of almost 20%. 😉 Oh, how lovely that SVT has taken interest in you! I shall look forward to seeing you on the TV screen then 😄

I want to hear how your Swedish sounds by now :) 🙏🏼👍

The price is all about what you buy. I have friend that travel to Sweden to buy wine that is made in the same region that they live in. And it’s cheaper here and you can guarantee find it here. That’s because the Systembolaget is the world’s largest buyer of booze, wine and beer in the world so they are always guaranteed to get deliveries of all brands. However, pure alcohol such as Whiskey and Vodka is subject to a high tax, and there is a reason for that. Like so much else in Sweden, there is a thought behind it, alcohol costs society a lot of money in the long run. And Swedes, they don't leave half-full bottles standing...

The thing about alcohol and systembolaget, in sweden it use to be a mayor problem with alcoholism it was even common to get paid in alcohol. The way to get that sorted (short story) was that the goverment took care of by forbid people to make their own and everyone have to buy it in a special storeto a very high price. The thing is nowadays it is the best liquorstre in the world. You can get anything you want just by ordering it if it is not availible in your local store. It is also very good for buying wine, systembolaget is the biggest buyer in the world and buys very good wine to a low price. That means you can get very good wine for a low price compared to other countries.

Snus is wildly addictive and most kids up here get hooked in there late teens and continue on... But yeah the point about the cold is valid, but there's also a big cultural element to it, specially here in the North ;)

Where do you guys live. I am in Östra Falmark and really want to come meet you guys.
