A Smoke-Free Zambia: Lessons from Sweden’s Tobacco Harm Reduction Success
Sweden is set to become the first country in the world to achieve ‘smoke-free’ status when its tobacco smoking prevalence rate falls below 5% in the next few months. The Swedish Model has made tobacco harm reduction products as accessible, acceptable, and affordable as possible to adult smokers, effectively wiping out smoking in a country where 50 years ago, 49% of men were smoking regularly.
8.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 667,950 current smokers in Sweden.
