JTI Sweden - Interview with Snus Lord Per Andersson

Much has changed for tobacco users in the month since I first started this article. The Tobacco Act and the PACT Act are the law of the land....sort of. Both pieces of legislation are already under attack for their questionable constitutionality. In Buffalo, NY, U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara has extended his injunction on enforcement of PACT and the ban on using the U.S. Postal Service from delivering cigarettes and tobacco by mail. As of this writing, Judge Arcara's ruling only applies to the Seneca Free Trade Association and other Seneca businesses. We will know more after July 30th.

JTI Sweden; the subject of this article, has also asked importers to cease selling LD snus and Gustavus snus to consumers in the United States. Combined with Reynolds Innovation suing Swedish Snus eStores to stop JTI's real version of CAMEL Snus from being sold into the US, for the first time ever, no JTI Swedish snus products are available for Americans. The reasons for this are challenging to understand and will be the focal point of a second article on JTI which is forthcoming.

In this time of anger, frustration and especially confusion for American snusers, Swedish snus manufacturers, distributors, and even State and Federal government entities over the Tobacco Control Act and the PACT Act, I've decided it's time to switch focus. Like you, I'm tired of talking legislative nuances, overstepping of legal bounds, and parsing of interpretations by FDA. My first love in all this is Real Swedish snus. For just a little bit, cast off your frustrations and fears over FDA hypocrisy, tobacco taxes, the perverting of the Jenkins Act, and even the current (but not final) Seneca Nation victory over the PACT Act in Federal Court.

Lets all take a mental trip to beautiful Sweden; Stockholm in particular. This is where I found Per Andersson; Brand Equity Manager - Snus and OTP, for JTI Sweden. Translation: Per Andersson is The Snus Lord of Sweden for JTI.
