   @clacke The tobaccoless stuff does have nicotine. I've been using it for a while to cut down smoking since it became available in the UK where actual tobacco snus is illegal.

     Swedish under-the-lip snuff ("snus", /snews/) goes under Hong Kong's "smokeless tobacco" law and is illegal to import, sell or possess for the purpose of selling or otherwise delivering.

     According to importers of Swedish goods, this extends to snus-like products that don't even contain tobacco. Like, there are mint-flavored packs you can put under your lip. But, tobaccoless smokeless tobacco products? How does the scope of this law even work?

     I don't use snus myself, I just read Swedish Hong Kong groups and stumbled over this and it boggles me.

     Does tobaccoless snus still have nicotine? I don't even know. If it does, I guess that's how it'd be in scope.
