because of the new tobacco law could snuff shelves gape empty at the end of may.

on may 20, all snus cans in the country be updated with the same warning now on the cigarette packs. Moreover, it must not stand how much nicotine snuff contain.

The new rules come from an EU directive adopted in the spring of 2014. The government introduced the regulations, that is, the details of how tobacco marketing should look, on Tuesday.

– We can not prepare for that scenario any time, says Hildingsson, Communications at Swedish Match. We will of course do what we can, but we will not manage to meet the demand, it’s too short notice.

Snuff boxes already in stock May 20, may be sold until May 2017 without the updated text. But Hildingsson still think it will be tight to produce up so much new snuff boxes.

– It is strange that the legislation not be created in such a way that the industry has a reasonable chance to comply. The government has had since 2014 to come up with new rules and so we get three weeks to adapt.

So, in late May, it could gaping plot of snuff shelves and Hildingsson suggest really hardcore snuff lovers hamsters on a few logs.

– It is all good for freezing.
