Finnish Study: Teens Buy Snus Via Social Platforms
Recent school health promotion studies have found that as many as 43% of 10th-12th grade students and 67% of vocational school students have used tobacco products at least once during the year 2021. This underscores the growing popularity of snus. Not surprisingly, researchers found that the most common way to expose children to tobacco products was through friends, with at least one-third of youth obtaining these products through social media.
For this reason, the Health and Wellness Institute (THL) is urging parents to pay close attention to their children's social media activities, as online platforms make it easier for young people to purchase tobacco products.
