    UK e-Petition - to press for Snus legalisation within EU

    I have set up an e-Petition to ask Tony Blair to press for legalisation of Snus within the EU. UK Snus users, please sign up!

    It's awaiting acceptance right now but will be available at the following URL:

    http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/swedish-snus/

    Thanks!

      I'm from America, but the snus ban is absolutely ridiculous. Would it do me any good to sign the thing for you, or would it be absolutely worthless, since I'm not a UK citizen.

        It does seem to be there any more. I think the EU ban is ludicrous. I'm betting it's the tobacco industry lobbiests keeping it out

          Phish is right - it's not there any more. I looked it up out of curiosity, not no luck. That isn't normal, I hope.

            ridiculous. You can smoke but not use snus. That is all politics.

              I've read elsewhere on the net that they cleared a whole lot of these petitions which didn't quite fit in with the gov't's current views and priorities. What can you say? Politicians at their best.

                    It's up and my wife and I have signed it.
                    BTW, I submitted a petition which was basically the same, just after I signed this succesfully submitted petition, I recieved 2 emails, one asking my to click link to confirm signature and one telling me my petition had been rejected because it was a duplicate of the petition that is running.

                    Anyway, good thinking that man.

                        I wonder if the site admin might be generous enough to make this thread a "sticky"??, I think thats what it's called. I'm sure it'll help the petition along.

                            Hah, you just beat me to it I've just moved this to Snus & Health as well, since it really doesn't have much to do with online shops.
