Banned everywhere but Sweden, now some Dutch politician wants to lift the ban in Holland/Europe.

Well, that reporter did a poor job in getting sources then..

an easy wiki search came up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus

Wikipedia wrote:Snus is manufactured and consumed primarily in Sweden and Norway. A version has recently been introduced into the United States and is being test-marketed by two major American tobacco companies as well as one Swedish company.

Snus is sold mainly in Sweden and Norway and Denmark and is being trialed in South Africa, but can be found in outlets in various other countries frequented by Scandinavian tourists like Murmansk in Russia and other Russian Border Towns (Norwegian Border) (with the notable exception of countries in the EU; see below).
