What the petition asks
Snus (or oral snuff) is a form of tobacco consumed orally and has been credited with helping achieve low smoking and cancer rates within Scandinavian countries. A EU blanket ban on these products meant that the sale of them was banned across the EU states. But due to Brexit this law can be undone.
The Government should look at the facts and benefits of allowing snus sales back within the United Kingdom as it could be a new alternative for lowering smoking rates within the UK.
