Why does Sweden have so few smokers?

Smoking is very popular around the world. This is because nicotine, the main component that is found in cigarettes, is very addictive. This chemical reaches the brain in a matter of seconds and creates a sense of energy and stimulation to the body. This is the reason why it's addictive.

Many people, however, are unaware that smoking is harmful to their health and it kills millions of people yearly. This is why so many governments have devised alternative means of using nicotine that are healthier. In Sweden, for starters, smoking has been banned in bars and restaurants. Instead, the Swedish people have embraced snus.

Snus is a Swedish moist smokeless tobacco product. It comes in different flavours and is placed under the upper lip. According to several studies, snus has been very helpful in Sweden in the fight against smoking because it helps in cutting smoking addiction. This is the reason why snus is very popular in Sweden.

Why snus is a big part of the Swedish culture

From 2005, smoking has been banned in Sweden in most public places, cutting the effects of smoking to smokers and to non-smokers through passive smoking. This is why the majority of smokers have indulged in using snus, a replacement to cigarette smoking. This product has been in use among Swedes for many generations.

After banning smoking, many people have been left with no choice but to quit smoking. As a result, death rates and smoking-related diseases have been recorded to be decreasing. It is worth noting that snus has been a part of the Swedish culture from as early as the 17th century.

It is conclusive to say that the government of Sweden has taken positive strides towards cutting the rate of smoking which has greatly impacted on the mortality rate of its citizens. Many people have switched to using snus, which research shows has really helped the Swedish population to quit smoking.
