Portioned snus of the Swedish label General

Smoking in Sweden is at a very low prevalence; only 6% of the Swedish population (age 16-84) smoked daily in 2021. The prevalence among women has been higher for many years, but is now the same as for men. Around 5% smoke occasionally.[1] Smoking has been banned in all bars and restaurants since May 2005.[2] A majority of Swedes supported the introduction of the ban.[2] In 2019 the ban was extended to also include outdoor seating in bars and restaurants as well as public places such as playgrounds, bus stops and train stations.[3] Sweden was the only European country to achieve the WHO goal of less than 20% daily smoking prevalence among adults by year 2000.[4] Sweden has a high level of use of smokeless tobacco, specifically a moist snuff product called 'snus', which some Swedes have used as a replacement for smoking.[4]
