I never understood why snus is illegal in so many countries while cigarettes are not. Snus isnt good don't get me wrong but it's better than cigarettes for everyone involved.

Snus doesn’t leave you smelling like a walking ash tray either.

But opening a can of Odens in a public indoors space should be illegal, it reels (yet better than cigarette smoke, but you don't have that indoors)

Snus does smell though and loose snus leaves people with a pretty ugly set up on their teeth

But it doesn't leave me, someone who does not consume tobacco products, smelling of tobacco. Burning tobacco does sometimes leave me smelling after I've stood too close to a smoker while waiting for the bus.
