‘Snus has Sweden on track to be world’s first smoke-free country’
Only five percent of the Swedish population smokes, meaning the country may soon lay claim to being the world’s first smoke-free country, argues Sweden’s Snus Commission.
“The reason is snus,” the group writes in a new debate article published in Swedish business daily Dagens Industri.
The Snus Commission is an independent collection of experts who produce reports on issues related to Swedish snus.
A new report produced for the Snus Commission by the Novus polling reveals that Sweden can become the world’s first smoke-free country.
According to survey data presented in the report, less than five percent of Swedes state that they currently smoke.
The figure confirms that Sweden is well ahead of schedule in reaching the smoking reduction goal set by the country’s Public Health Agency.
