Oral Nicotine Pouches: Sweden & UK Smoking Data
Sweden and the UK offer a useful comparison in what happens when smokers have access to credible alternatives.

The lesson is not that one product solves everything, but that people need more than warnings and willpower to leave cigarettes behind. Tobacco policy should study where smoking is falling fastest — and ask what made that possible.
