Obviously great news but nowhere in the article does it mention amount of vapers.
Do the Swedes know they are smoke free?
Snus is probably the least harmful method of tobacco consumption. The overall associated costs of more snus use likely doesn’t mean that much when compared to costs saved from less smoking.
Edit: just some literature that might help. Put it on a post below but then the dude asking deleted his comment…lol.
I can offer such, kinda busy but this should be a good intro. Idk why I get downvoted, just relating the science.

In the spirit of harm reduction. Lmk if I can help further.
But it’s still legal to smoke in sweden, and even in the article it says 5% of swedes smoke. Then 10% of young people are vaping and 20% of people are using snus. So really haven’t become smoke free and nicotine addiction is getting worse
Too bad 90% of those 4.8% seem to live in my city.
I traveled to Sweden a couple years ago and this seems hard to believe 😂
Snus won
Hmmm… I’ve been here 5 days and, thinking about it, I’ve only seen one person smoke.
Unlike back home in Ireland where I would see it everywhere.
> Sweden has reached its target of fewer than five percent of the population smoking regularly – and is consequently considered „smoke-free“.
If you replaced this with ‘nicotine use’ then we’re one of the highest in the world.
No one in Sweden likes the old herb then? lol seriously good for you Sweden.
TIL Snus is illegal in France and is (imho) presented as a more dangerous way to consume tobacco products.

Is this just tobacco?
But… what about you know, the herbal medicine?
Every other people use mouth tobacco and where I live in small town, there are still lots of people smoking. This is same bullshit saying that Finnland is most happy country in the world. It is not! 🙃
We’re smoking hot instead
Umm do you even Snuss ?
why is it great news? just let me smoke my damn cigs.
Less than 5% of the population smokes, yet cigarette butts are *(by far)* the most common form of litter.
That really does say something.
Forcing vape culture on your people is not the win they think it is
Because they’re hooked on snus.
Was reading this news while having a smoke this morning. Ofc conveniently left out is that almost 20% of the country is on snus (snuff) and another some % vaping.
But are one of the biggest consumers of snuff
Wouldn’t that be Finland? The only smoke they has was coming from their saunas, and I heard they have finnish saunas.
Do Swedes smoke weed?
