“Försäljning av tobaksbaserat snus är förbjudet inom EU utom i Sverige”

The sale of tobacco-based snus is banned in the EU except in Sweden

“Nu är jag led vid tidens schism emellan jord och stjärnor. Vår idealism och realism de klyva [old present tense plural, usually klyver] våra hjärnor. Det ljugs, när porträtterat grus får namn av konst och fägring. En syn, som svävar skön och ljus i skyn, är sann som hägring. Men strunt är strunt och snus är snus, om ock i gyllne [gyllene] dosor, och rosor i ett sprucket krus är ändå alltid rosor.”

Now I am weary of the current [the time's] schism between earth and stars. Our idealism and realism they split our brains. People lie [it is lied], when portrayed dust [gravel, sometimes used figuratively like dust, especially in the past] gets called art and beauty ["gets name of" – archaic]. A sight, that floats fair and bright in the sky, is true as a mirage. But nonsense is nonsense and snuff is snuff [fairly well-known line], if also in golden boxes [small boxes with a lid]. And roses in a cracked jug are still always roses.
