    My local shop has told me that there are no more small pouches of tobacco, does anyone know the story on that?

    I don't tend to smoke straight tobacco, so I like the smaller pouches as I don't have much left over.

    30g pouches are the only ones being sold I think... 15-16 Euro

    It's an EU wide directive. No pouches smaller than 30g.

    It's fecking irritating. 'No, you're not allowed to buy less tobacco', it's like being forced to smoke more.

    Nah its to discourage people taking up the habit and encourage people to stop by making it more difficult/expensive.

    That's what happened when they got rid of 10 boxes, people ended up buying the bigger box and smoked more.

    The 30g boxes are too big to sell in alot of the machines too.

    Bought a pouch of Amber for the first time in ages. Asked for the smallest and was gobsmacked at handing over €16.50 for 30g.

    This will probably last me a month. Will it keep OK for that length of time?

    Put it in the fridge with a small slice of Apple inside the pouch.

    I'm not. The slice is for moisture and the fridge is for keeping it fresh.
