Brussels should learn from Sweden instead of trying to sabotage it
Brussels should be learning from Sweden’s smoke-free progress, not making it harder to sustain. Sweden’s low smoking rates are closely linked to the availability of smoke-free nicotine alternatives, including snus and pouches. EU policy that taxes or restricts these products like cigarettes risks undermining one of Europe’s clearest harm reduction success stories. Regulation should follow real-world outcomes, not sabotage them.
