He has fought for a new nicotine policy: "Finally a victory for common sense"
Johan Hultberg, a member of Sweden's Moderate Party, has long pushed for harm reduction in tobacco policy. Recent government budget plans show a shift towards this approach, focusing on reducing harm from nicotine use. Hultberg emphasizes the importance of differentiating between nicotine products based on their harm levels. With a change in policy objectives, efforts will target reducing medical and social harm caused by tobacco. This change aims to shape both national and international policies. Recent actions include lowering taxes on smokeless products while increasing them on cigarettes.
8.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 667,950 current smokers in Sweden.
