Illegal in Sweden and not very common, although not unheard of.

You got it covered, I'll let you be the good guy here. 😁

There are nicotine pouches that's not currently banned in all EU counties which is the same thing for all practical purposes. I believe France banned them in February though.

However, there's a discussion on the effectiveness on those pouches as a means of quitting cigarettes , since the reduction in smoking by women (who traditionally don't use snus) seems to have happened before the nicotine pouches were introduced.

Sorry, wasn't paywalled for me. Would have provided similar link otherwise.

Thank you Trump for kicking the EU into gear.

I think the EU has been pretty clear about "no cherry-picking".

My bad, I should have said "ordenary people".

I had the idea years ago that we should ban notes outright, it would have to be coins and the highest denomination would be €50. You can still buy stuff that you'd need cash for, but it would make the black/shadow-economy more cumbersome. Or you'd get really strong criminals. 🙃

Get better cops? I might not trust every cop out there, but I trust that the system will hold them to the standard that we require from them. So far it seems to work here in the Nordics.

Sure it does. It just doesn't fix everything.

Yeah, that was my point? The laws apply, but you will never have to think about them.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago (5 children)

All laws apply to everyone, but not everyone is subjected to them. If you don't have a drivers licence you're not subject to laws related to driving a car.
