BAT calls for ban on ‘snus’ to be lifted - The Times 3rd September 2007

British American Tobacco (BAT) is pressing European regulators to lift the existing ban on snus, the smokeless tobacco, arguing that the use of snus helps to reduce tobacco-related harm. Snus has been banned throughout the European Union since 1992. It is authorised only in Sweden, where it is so much part of the national culture that the country negotiated an exemption from the ban when it joined the union.
