@bob Good to know that we can handle stuff like this on this forum without getting bad blood. 
Prismaster,
Bob is a bit of an eccentric genius. He’s really quite harmless and wouldn’t take offence. He just bumbles along with his funny unusual posts and then, bam! He knocks our socks off with a piece of blind inspiration that takes your breath away.
Bob ;<)
@bob Nikolai Gogol, the greatest writer ever. In one of his short stories a fallen-off nose dresses a field marshall’s uniform and causes mayhem in Imperial St. Petersburg and you addressed your nose as person. Everything is crystal clear now? What it comes to American FDA and Poschl snuffs, these stringent regulations stink of protectionism.
@AllanH " What it comes to American FDA and Poschl snuffs, these stringent regulations stink of protectionism."
It seems a bit fishy at least. I mean, they can use so much stuff in US products and then they give Pöschl such a hard time. I wonder why this is.
AlanH, On a similar vain to Gogol, I wonder if you can help? I remember reading a Russian story about a character who turned into a fly but I’m damned if I can remember the author?
AlanH and Prismaster, I don’t think its protectionism. If my wife hadn’t been a cancer research scientist I don’t think we would have stood a chance of completing and submiting all of the FDA forms, spreadsheets and analysis data they required. Very, very complicated.
@Toque you are right,. that seems more likely
@Toque You might be thinking about Franz Kafka’s Transformation, where man turns to beetle. I’m sure Russian story about man turning to a fly exists, but can’t recall it. All the possible stories are in the 19th century Russian literature anyway and the rest is just comment.
Thanks AlanH, it was Kafka and yes it was a beetle. I think my memory must have been blurred by the film “The Fly”; no wonder I couldn’t find anything on Google.
@Toque Nice one XD
I would agree with the protectionism theory IF our tobacco companies were actually interested in the snuff we know and love. Look at how hard it is for many Americans to even find dry snuff in their local stores!
As it is I suspect the majority of their executives and workers think our (American) dry snuff is strictly an oral product.
The basic problem, as Toque pointed out, is the FDA and the fact that few of our politicians want to embrace a tobacco based product for harm reduction.
Basically poschel said the American market was not worth the headache. Like they could have passed but the market share here isn’t worth going for.
Happy to take-up their slack!
@Toque i am sure you are XD
The FDA is essentially made up of gangsters who specialize in extortion
No, the FDA is made up of prostitutes that will do anything if the price is right.

It sure looks wicked.
@Juxtaposer a lot of stuff you can´t see with the plain eye looks wicked when you look at it with a microscope
ammoniumchloride is an expectorant.
what is that?
