Snus Is Replacing Smoking In Norway
Norway is following Sweden's lead in reducing smoking rates by embracing snus over cigarettes, as highlighted by GSTHR. Snus offers a safer nicotine consumption alternative, leading to a significant decline in smoking, especially among young adults. Despite its efficacy, snus's harm reduction benefits are not widely promoted by Norwegian health authorities. The country's progress in tobacco harm reduction showcases the potential for consumer-driven initiatives to combat smoking. Norway stands out for its strict tobacco control measures and significant shift towards snus as a substitute for cigarettes, even without official endorsement. This trend indicates the impact of harm reduction strategies and consumer choices in reducing tobacco-related harms.
14.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 631,222 current smokers in Norway.
