Sweden Becomes Smokefree
Sweden has become the first smoke-free country, with only 4.5% of adults smoking. Embracing harm reduction methods, such as snus and e-cigarettes, has led to significant health improvements. The country's approach, focusing on alternatives over prohibition, has resulted in lower tobacco-related diseases and reduced cancer rates. Smoke Free Sweden urges other nations to follow their evidence-based policies for a smoke-free future. Sweden’s success highlights the efficacy of harm reduction strategies and the importance of accessible safer nicotine products in reducing smoking rates and improving public health globally.
8.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 667,950 current smokers in Sweden.
