Hello forum!

I read some happy news from the internet that EU are planning to re-allow snus! What i've heard that the decision would be made in 2013 and each countries goverment would vote for the acceptance.
They are reasoning it like this: "Since health consequences of snus are 60/90/99 % smaller than consequences of smoking and snus is more effective than medical products made for quitting smoking." (translated poorly from finnish, sorry )
Of course it would mean that the price of snus would be pretty high in EU since the taxes but it would be a lot easier to buy it from local stores.
Opinions?

By the way got the information from Finnish version of v2 tobaccos site (http://fi.v2tobacco.com) and some other Finnish sites about snus!
