ÁTVR will end sales of snuff horns

ÁTVR will stop producing snuff horns, and expects its remaining stock to run out in November, mbl.is reports. After that, snuff will be available only in 50-gram plastic tubs.

The institution said snuff sales had fallen considerably in recent years. In light of the decline and a requirement to improve efficiency, it said selling snuff in more than one type of packaging was not justifiable.

Icelandic snuff has been sold since 1941 in various containers, including cans and jars. Snuff horns first went on sale in 1992.
