Where on this planet can I buy Snus?

[easybackpacker]

Hey!

I'm currently on a trip around the world, and I was wondering where on this planet I can buy Snus. So far, on my trip, I've been to Russia, China and Vietnam and I couldn't get it in any of these countries.
I know that you can get it in Sweden, Norway and USA.
Does anyone know any other country where you can buy Snus in stores?

Cheers!

Hiya, welcome to SnusOn!

I think you're out of luck for buying over the counter in most countries. Even in USA, real snus is pretty scarce from a shop. Sweden, Norway, and to a lesser extent Denmark(lös only) are the only places you'll find it. You may get lucky randomly hitting tobacco shops, but I wouldn't count on it.

From Denmark u can buy lös but not portions

I'd go to Sweden if I was a foreigner. When I buy a stock of Nick and Johnny in Sweden I pay 320 NOK. In Norway, I'd pay around 600. Compared to USD, the Swedish price is 53 and the Norwegian 100. The regular Swedish price is higher than the one where I buy it, as I go to a huge supercenter in the Sweden-Norway border town of Strömstad. These stores are common in European border towns. Eventhough it lies in Sweden, it's owned by Norwegians, the prices are in NOK, the staff is primarly Norwegian and 98% of the visitors are Norwegian..

Actually in the USA it was quite easy for me to get snus. They sold it in most stores, however mostly loose snus and hardly portion. Also they have different brands there than in Sweden. Some are very strong. They kept making me dizzy. ;-)

I hope that you're not referring to dip as snus. Oh boy. Very different IMO. Hell, I think it's pretty different in everybody's opinion.

Russia has it in places like Moscow and especially St.Petersburg probably at tobacco shops mostly for swedish tourists. Vietnam and China are you kidding, good luck finding any smokeless tobacco in vietnam or china.

Haha you should see a swede go for vacation.. 2 logs in the baggage at least.

I always bought the brand Copenhagen. It was tobacco in little pouches, but I don't know if it was snus or dip.

In Moscow I asked at every tobacco shop I came by if they had snus, because I also heard about rumors that they might sell it, but I didn't have any luck.

Haha, that's true! The only times I had snus on my trip so far, was when I met Swedes. ;-)

You're right, but my impression is that it's more common with chain snusing in Norway.

Yea, that's dip. That's snus' retarded stepson :^D If you're ok with any oral tobacco, you'll have a larger selection. I think many European countries have some sort of oral tobacco available. India should have something, as well as Africa. Some of the stuff, especially from India and Africa is very bad for you, but if you're just trying it as a one-off, it shouldn't be too harmful.

Haha... yeah

You can't find any snus in Russia ... Vietnam ... probably some guns and riffles there ....

EU has banned snus.... so except Sweden, Norway and Denmark I'm afraid a few stores in the US sell snus.... and that's pretty much it... that's why I have to buy mine online and stock it up in the fridge ;-)

I see, that's interesting to hear!
So I will keep looking for something snus-like on my travels. If I should find something I will post it.
