‘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 Snus Commission is an independent collection of experts who produce reports on issues related to Swedish snus.
