@Walrus1985 ahhh you are a buddhist, good. I was in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan… can you not save up some money for a flight? I understand you now yes i imagine the customs in Bhutan will charge a rediculous amount.
Monk gets 3 years! A 23 yr old monk has just been sentenced to 3 years in prison in Bhutan for possession of $2.50 worth of chewing tobacco. Wow! I wouldn’t go there if you paid me.
I don’t think they arrest snuff monks so Roderick you’ll be fine.

Well Neftóbak just means Nasal tobacco and what sucks about it, is that, that is smells like horseshit (litterally) and i know that it exists and have used it many times before.But the kind of tobacco i’m talking about is the (snuff) which is very finegrain.And the finegrain tobacco is illegal here which just sucks because I like it better than this horseshit tobacco here.But on the market has arrived a new kind of tobacco which is called Lundi (Puffin) and it is quite better but smells of Tea.Snus isn’t legal but Lundi is quite like Snus but not really good.
The packing of all tobacco products in plastic pouches has been outlawed in india recently by the supreme court. It is highly probable that some popular tobacco products like gutka and khaini may be banned altogether.
I’ve read that some people consider it an attack on the poor. Because they are more likely to purchase tobacco in plastic pouches. To me it seems like trampling your culture to enter the “modern world”. What do I know though.
On facebook there is a Bhutanese group called, “Amend the Tobacco Control Act”. I’d advise all to sign up here and give our support to Bhutan’s tobacco users. I’ve actually sent a message to the Bhutanese Prime Minister, to express my horror and disgust at this legislation. I’m awaiting a reply. Stefan
@shikitohno:Well this is what we do in Iceland,We buy a plastic syringe (sprauta) like this one: http://www.growforce.co.uk/product\_images/1061/1/10-cc-plastic-syringe.jpg. And cut the end away so it is open.Then we put the tobacco in the syringe and compress it and then put it under the lip.
It’s illegal for sale in Oz, but legal to import and possess. I’ve a mate who claims his has been turned back at Customs, but mine’s got in - thus far.
