How Sweden is Becoming Smoke-Free with Snus

Sweden is on track to become the first country in the EU to have a smoke-free population by 2023. According to a recent article by Aftonbladet, Sweden has reduced its smoking rate by around ten percent over the past 15 years, and now only about five percent of Swedes smoke regularly.

One of the reasons for this remarkable achievement is that Sweden has an alternative to smoking: snus. Snus is a moist tobacco product that is placed under the upper lip and delivers nicotine without combustion. Snus originated in Sweden about 200 years ago and is still widely popular today.

Snus is considered less harmful than smoking because it does not produce tar or carbon monoxide, which are major causes of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Snus also does not expose others to secondhand smoke or litter the environment with cigarette.

A doctor named Anders Milton, who is quoted in the Aftonbladet article, said that even though Swedes use about the same amount of nicotine as smokers, they do not do it in the deadly form. He added that snus has helped many people quit smoking or prevent them from starting.
