It's interesting to see that among the youngest group (15-24), the usage drops a bit in 2011 after they tightened import restrictions in 2010, but then in 2012 it actually goes up again and is then higher than it was before. This would be the group most likely to go to the black market as well, as they are the weakest group economically. So it looks to me that by tightening the restrictions they have managed to create a fully functional black market AND made snus more attractive to young people. I think the same thing will happen if e-cigarettes are over-regulated as I wrote about earlier in this post: http://goo.gl/KxKzJaMorten Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822066687595543840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367781713979182782.post-78092265592686047802014-02-12T13:41:03.593+01:002014-02-12T13:41:03.593+01:00Recent official statistics of tobacco products in ...Recent official statistics of tobacco products in Finland are from year 2012 http://www.julkari.fi/handle/10024/110551 Use of snuss 2000 - 2005 and 2008-2012 is described in tables 19 and 20.
