Swedish MEP Jessica Polfjärd: Europe needs more snus, not more bans

Swedish MEP Jessica Polfjärd defends Sweden's low smoking rate using snus and nicotine pouches. She warns against overregulation proposed by some EU countries, advocating for safer alternatives to smoking. Polfjärd highlights Sweden's success and urges learning from their model rather than suppressing it. She emphasizes the importance of not restricting adult access to these products. Polfjärd stresses the need to prioritize public health over fear-based policies in tobacco regulations, calling for a shift in Europe's attitude towards snus.
